A fugitive who escaped last year from federal custody in Santa Clara, where he was awaiting trial on bank robbery charges, was recaptured through efforts of a rookie U.S. marshal in Orlando, Fla. Acting on a lead from her Denver bureau, Deputy U.S. Marshal Brenda Lewis, who has been on the job just six months, tracked Edward R. Vigliotto, 30, and his girlfriend to a restaurant where they had worked, from there to where they were living and, aided by Orlando officers, captured Vigliotto without a struggle. Before his California escape, Vigliotto escaped from a Connecticut prison where he was serving a 20-year sentence for armed robbery and assault on a police officer, and has previous convictions for larceny, possession of narcotics, burglary, armed robbery and kidnaping.
