Escaped Prisoners
MELBOURNE, May 10. Armed police and warders have been searching the bush roads around Beech worth since early yesterday for Gerge Grannon and Raymond Cullen, indeterminate sentence prisoners, who disappeared while working with 14 other reformatory men in clearing land near a pine plantation, a few miles from Beechworth.
The only food the men had was bread and jam, which was eaten at lunch yesterday. The men, who were honour prisoners, were reported to be heading toward Wangaratta. All bridges cn route .are being closely guarded by armed police. No thefts of food or clothing have been reported, and the men may be driven by hunger to surrender.
