VISIT FROM CONVICTS
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) EXETER, Jan. 1. A woman left the door of a garden chalet open for her three cats to shelter from a storm in a Dartmoor village and received a visit from three escaped convicts. Yesterday morning she found a man’s leather jacket and two women’s coats were missing. Police stepped up their hunt for the men—the last of five still free after a breakout from Dartmoor Prison on Christmas Day. Britain's gaol escapes during the year reached a total of 699, of whom 581 have been recaptured.
