SEARCH FOR WILDER
May Have Had Lift In Float
(N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, Feb. 24. Police spent the week-end searching <the Coromandel area for the prison escaper George Wilder, after a report that a horse-floait driver might have picked Wilder up on the Te Aroha road on Friday night and dropped him off near Paeroa. Constable B. H. Cruickshanks, of Coromandel, said last night that six policemen had made a mobile search of the peninsula and were continuing to search all baches in the area. The horse-float driver thought after he had dropped the man that it could have been Wilder and he advised the police. Constabe Cruickshank said that if evidence was found of Wilder being in the area the full search' party would be called there.
