MEN RECAPTURED.
ESCAPEES FROM MOUNT EDEN. AUCKLAND, September 15. ■ The two prisoners, Harris O'Neill, aged 40, and George Hayward, aged 25, who escaped from the bakehouse at Mount Eden Gaol early on Monday morning, were recaptured this morning in a street in Epsom. At 9.40 a.m. the milkman recognised the two men, who were walking on opposite sides of the road, and telephoned the police. A sergeant and a constable hurried to the street in a car and drew up between the men. The sergeant seized one and the constable the other.
Both gave other names, but the sergeant told them he had no doubt about their identity.
They were taken to the Magistrate's Court, and were remanded on charges of escaping from lawful custody. When arrested, the men were sauntering along in the sun. Both wore blue overcoats and other non-prison clothes. One had boots several sizes too large. They appeared tired, and evidently had been much exposed to the weather since their escape.
