PRISONER RETAKEN.
ESCAPEE FROM PAPARUA. (Per Press Association ) DUNEDIN, May 18. After an extensive search by the police, Francis Henry Gordon Guilford, who escaped from tlm Paparua prison on May 2, was arrested in a house at South Dunedin this morning. The arrest was a result of a smart piece of work by Detective-Sergeant T. Y. Hall, Sergeant Stark (South Dunedin), and Detective Wells. Guilford, who submitted quietly, will' be charged in the Magistrate’s Court tomorrow morning with escaping from custody. Guilford made his escape while working in a quarry at Paparua and evaded capture for more than a fortnight. Police and warders scoured the North Canterbury district in the neighbourhood of Rangiora and Kaiapoi, but failed to find any trace of the missing man. Detailed descriptions were circulated throughout the various police districts, and members of the force were on the look-out for the fugitive. It was only through efficient teamwork that the search was successful to-day.
