AVONDALE ESCAPEES
TWO BACK IN CUSTODY
(By Telegraph—firess Association.)
AUCKLAND, March 24.
Two of the three patients who escaped from the Auckland, mental hospital at Avondale at the end of last week were caught tonight in a belt of trees at Kumeu. They were a young Maori and a European woman.
They had some biscuits and cakes with them, but appeared to be very hungry. They had not eaten any substantial food since they left the hospital on Saturday. They slept in the daytime and wandered about at night. They offered no resistance.
