ESCAPED PRISONER
AN UNSUCCESSFUL SEARCH. (Per United Press Association.) Talhape, November 2. The escaped prisoner, Charles William Wahle alias Mcßae, who broke away from the Raetihi gaol on Tuesday, October 23, is still at large. He knows the district since his boyhood. The police have been scouring the district night and day. Suspected of breaking into a Chinese fruitshop at Ohakune Junction and the Pokaka Post Office, he called at a house and boasted to the woman that he would never be recaptured and also that no bolts or locks would hold him as he would easily pick any prison lock. The suspected man was seen walking along the railway line in the early hours yesterday near Mangaweka.
