PRISONER STILL AT LARGE
(United Press Association)
WELLINGTON, June 26.
Late tonight there was still no trace of Thomas William Hill, aged 25, a prisoner serving a sentence at the Mount Crawford Prison. When he escaped from custody while working with a gang last Monday morning Hill was wearing grey prison clothes. Since Hill escaped two dwellings in Wellington have been entered. In one of them grey prison clothes were left in place of a pair of gardening trousers which were taken. These old clothes were later recovered in the second dwelling entered, but a new suit was missing indicating that the gardening clothes were not good enough for the intruder.
