MAISEY STILL AT LARGE. MASTERTON, March 13. At a late hour to-night, no trace had been found of Stanley Charles Maisey, for whom an extensive police search has been carried’ out since Thursday morning. Maisey is wanted by the police in connection with the shooting affray at Dalefield, as the result of which Maisey’s father-in-law, Anthony Conwell, is in hospital with a bulelt wound in the jaw. A fairly large party of police is still in the district, and a police net has been spread throughput the Wellington district. It is now considered certain that the wanted man travelled to Wellington by a service car on Thursday morning, but afer he left the car at Featherston Street, he completely disappeared. The condition of Conwell remains satisfactory.
