SEARCH FOR MISSING PRISONER
[THE PRESS Special Service.] AUCKLAND, June 1. The search for John Buckley, the missing prisoner;' was continued in the Chelsea and Birkenhead districts all last night and to-day, but no trace of the escapee has been discovered. The work of the police is arduous, as there is a large amount of bush and scrub in the districts, and a big area has been covered. An attempt was made at 10.30 o'clock last night by somebody to break into Mr McGovern's store, Birkenhead. Mr McGovern heard a noise, and on investigating saw a man rush away from the building. It was then found that two panes of glass in a window had been broken. v At four o'clock this morning two of the employees at the Chelsea sugar works' saw a stranger near the refinery buildings, but he disappeared after being chased over the coal heap.
