Rescuers push toward crash site
SAN FERNANDO, Chile
(UPI) — Roberto Canessa
Urta, 20, and Fernando Par
rado Dolgay, 23, too weak from
months of hunger to wade
across the mountain stream,
wrote a note, tied it to a rock
and threw it to a farmer on the
other bank.
“I came from an airplane
that crashed in the mountains.
I am Uruguayan. We have been
walking for 10 days. Fourteen
others remain in the airplane.
They are also injured. They
don’t have anything to eat and
cannnot leave. We cannot walk
any further. Please come and
get us.”
Thus Canessa and Parrado
succinctly told of their ordeal
that began when a chartered
Uruguayan airliner crashed
into the snow-covered Andes
Mountains Oct. 13.
They told police 14 other
persons were still alive but
were starving in the snow
covered wreckage of the plane.
Helicopter Rescues Six
Helicopters flew to the crash
site late Friday and rescued six
more of the survivors, but high
winds and heavy snow
prevented it from flying back.
Soldiers with mules from the
Colchaga army base outside
this provincial capital pushed
through a snowstorm toward
the crash site today but the
going was slow.
A military spokesman de
scribed the group as exhausted
by their ordeal but enthusiastic
about their rescue. Except for
losing an average of 20 pounds
each they appeared to be in
Divorce hearing
ends in death
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (UPI)
— An estranged couple staged
a wild gun battle during a
divorce hearing Friday before
an off-duty police officer
borrowed a judge’s gun and
killed the female combatant.
Mrs. Mary E. Hickson, 40,
was fatally shot in the back by
Patrolman Fred G. Lampe,
after she ignored orders to halt
and ran down a corridor
brandishing a pistol. Officers
said the shot hit the woman in
the heart.
Mrs. Hickson had been
wounded in the shoulder se
conds earlier as she and her
estranged husband, Rudell
Hickson, exchanged shots in a
wild chase through a judge’s
chambers and offices.
Hickson, 45, was wounded in
the right wrist and reported in
fair condition at a hospital. He
was charged with murder
under a Florida law which
holds any person responsible
for a felony liable for any
resulting deaths.
Circuit Court Judge Martin
Sack said attorneys for the
Hicksons had just told him they
had reached an agreement on a
divorce settlement when he
heard shots from the corridor
outside his chambers.
Police said the couple got into
an argument and Hickson
pulled a gun and began firing
at his wife who fled from the
corridor to the judge’s recep-

“They feel as if they have
been reborn,” he said.
The survivors said 29 others
aboard the plane either died
when it crashed into the side of
a mountain peak or were killed
later by a snow slide, or died of
exposure, exhaustion or hunger.
A total of 45 persons, five of
them women, was aboard the
Uruguayan Air Force F 27
turboprop airliner when it
crashed in the 18,000-foot
mountain range Oct. 13 on a
plane was carrying the Old
Christian Brothers rugby team
tion room.
Sack’s secretary, Evelyn
Price, said Mrs. Hickson
ducked behind her as Hickson
continued blasting away. Using
Miss Price as a shield, Mrs.
Hickson ran into the judge’s
chambers where Sack was
meeting with attorneys Donald
Matthews and James Roberts.
At this point she pulled a gun
and began returning fire across
a conference table at her
husband.
“All hell broke loose,” Sack
said. “They were firing away
and I started buzzing for the
sheriff. The guns were going off
and no one from the sheriff’s
office appeared.
“Since she was shooting from
one doorway and he from the
other, I had no way to get out.
One of the attorneys hid in the
closet. The other one disap
peared—l don’t know where. I
wasn't even scared. I just stood
there.”
The Hicksons were firing at
each other from a distance of
20 feet when Hickson was
finally hit in the right wrist and
dropped his gun. Mrs. Hickson
then ran from the chambers
back into the hallway where
Lampe spotted her and ordered
her to halt before felling her
with a single shot.
Lampe had borrowed a .38
caliber revolver from Judge
Everett Richardson, who also
went to the hallway when he
heard the shots.

Cannessa and Parrado were
members of the rugby team.
Mother and Sister Killed
Parrado told police his
mother and sister were among
the dead. Three other women
and four crew members also
died in the crash, he said.
Canessa and Parrado, both
wearing rugby cleats, appeared
on the bank of a mountain
stream outside the village of
Los Maitines Friday morning.
They shouted through a
snowstorm to get the attention
of a farmer on the opposite
bank. After reading the note,
the farmer called police in the
village, about 85 miles south
east of Santiago, and officers
returned to bring the men into
the tow a
Canessa and Parrado, a
former auto racing driver, said
the 36 who survived by
carefully rationing food that
was aboard the plane. They
drank melted snow.
A few days after the crash, a
snow slide buried about a dozen
of the survivors.

About 10 days ago, they said,
the remaining survivors asked
Canessa and Parrado to leave
the site and try to hike out of
the mountains to get help.
In loving memory of Mrs
Eunice Sarah Sprouse
Lawler who passed away two
years ago Dec. 23, i»7O.
Two years have passed since
you went away. We didn't
think it true. We would not
believe that death came to
you. We don't know what
pain you bore, We did not see
you die, we only know you
passed away.
We didn't even get to say
goodbye. A precious one
from us has gone, a voice we
loved is still, a chair is
vacant in our home that
cannot befilled. We love you
so much Mama, in our hearts
a memory is kept.
Your memory will be with us
as long as we may live.
