PRISONERS ESCAPE.
COMMANDEER MOTOR-CAR. By Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND, March 3. Two prisoners, Thomas Douglas Forsyth and Kenneth John Evans, both aged 23, escaped from Mount Eden Prison this afternoon. They were working with a gang of thirty in a quarry at a point where the guard’s view is limited by a small hill. The men clambered over a barbed wire fence and into a road. Here they commandeered an unoccupied motorcar, and were last seen going in the direction of Onehunga. There was no trace of them at a late hour. Forsyth is “in” for three and a half years for conversion of a motor-car, and Evans three years for theft.
