ESCAPE FROM PRISON
Not Guilty Plea Reversed By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, May 2. Allegations that they had been com pelled to live under undesirable conditions were made by two prisoners, Raymond Claude Hogg and John Thomas Hartley when they appeared at the Supreme Court on a charge of escaping from lawful custody at Hautu prison camp on February 16. They pleaded guilty. “Why did you not plead guilty In the lower Court and save the trouble of bringing the case to this Court I” asked Mr Justice Ostler of the prisoners. It was explained by Hartley that he had been uncertain how to plead until this week. He also said he preferred to be dealt with by a Judge than by a Magistrate. Accused were remanded for sentence.
