ASPEN, Colo. (AP) — Surrounded by
seven armed guards, Theodore Bundy,
accused of murder in the slaying of a
Michigan nurse, was returned Monday
to the second-floor courtroom of the
Pitkin County Courthouse from whieh
he escaped last week.
He stood, unshaven and shackled, as
District Court Judge George Luhr told
him he would be charged with escape,
burglary and theft and set Thursday for
arraignment on those churges.
Bundy, 30, was captured before dawn
Monday by two sherift’s depulles who
stopped a stolen 1966 Cadi!lae on the
outskirts of Aspen. They said the driver
had slumped down and run off the road
as their patrol cars passed.
Extremely Fatigued
Bundy was extremely fatigued and
“unable to think anymore,’’ the
sheriff's department said, and he
complained of getting only 10 hours of
slecp since his escape, He was allowed
to sleep Monday aflernoon in a base-
ment cell in (he courthouse.
After questioning Bundy, the sheriff's
depirtroent said he apparently had
been within 10 miles of Aspen since his
escape last Tuesday. There was no
evidence that_he was assisted by
Ci arses
anyene in escaping or Sine out, the
sheriff's department said.
A sheriff’s department sergeant, Don
Davis, said Bundy was asked why he
escaped and replied, ‘I didn't want to
go back to jail. it was just too pretty
outside," -
Looking for Opportunity
Davis said Bundy also told him he
had been icoking fer an opportunity to
eseape. He managed to do that by
jumping from a second-Noeor window in
the hack of the courtroom when left
unguarded during a reeess in a pretrial
hearing.
“T believe Ted derived a certain
amount of satisfaction from the fact he
pulled it off as far as he did,” said
Davis. f .
Bundy was limping when he ap
peared in eourt Monday and the
sheriffs department said a doctor
would examine a knee he apparently
injured in his escape leap.
Bundy faces trial here on a charge of
first-degree murder in the January,
1975, slaying of Caryn Campbeit of
Dearborn, Mich. Miss Campbell's for-
zen and nude body was found a month
after she disappeared from 9 lodge
