SHELTERED PRISONER.
Man Expresses Regret for Action. HEART RAN AWAY WITH HEAD Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, May 18. A charge of knowingly harbouring a prisoner, Frederick William Schluter, who escaped from Mt. Eden prison on April 30 and is still at large, was brought against a fruiterer named Alexander Mason, aged 35, in the Police Court. The prosecutor said that Mason had been employing Schluter’s wife as a housekeeper. Schluter went to Mason’s house after his escape and stayed there till May 15, when there was a row and Mason told him to go. Mason was a decent man and had never been in trouble before. Counsel said that Mason now realised what he had done and regretted it very much, but his heart had run away with his head. The Magistrate (Mr Hunt) imposed a fine of £lO, or two months’ imprisonment.
