NEW ORLEANS—Days after 10 men escaped from a New Orleans jail by slipping through a hole behind a toilet and scaling a wall, six of them remained on the run Monday, and up to $20,000 in rewards was being offered for information leading to the capture of each escapee.

The FBI on Sunday increased its reward amount from $5,000 to $10,000 per escapee, while the CrimeStoppers reward was increased from $2,000 to $5,000, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was offering $5,000. The latest arrest came late Monday when a fourth fugitive, Gary Price, was taken into custody.
