ESCAPED FROM BORSTAL
Girls’ Terms Extended
By Six Months
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, January 14. Two inmates of the Arohata Borstal Institution for Women escaped yesterday afternoon by climbing over a wall at the back of the premises. A police search party found them in hilly country behind the institution. Mr F. A. Scott, the police prosecutor, said this in the Magisrate’s Court today when Gertrude Anne Flaherty, aged 18, a waitress, serving a sentence for housebreaking, and Yvonne Francis Donghi, aged 19, a domestic, serving a sentence for theft, pleaded guilty to charges of escaping from lawful custody. Mr M. B. Scully, S.M., extended the maximum term they may serve by six months.
