AFTER FOUR YEARS.
ESCAPED PRISONER SURRENDERS CHRISTCHURCH, August 11. After four years of liberty, Leo Sylvester Hannan, who escaped-from Rangipo Prison Camp, Auckland, on July 12, 1926, gave himself up to the police here and appeared this morning before the Magistrate on a charge of escaping from custody. He pleaded guilty and was committed for sentence. In a statement to the police Hannan, who had been imprisoned for theft from a hotel, said that he felt unwell in the prison camp, and therefore escaped, travelling into the country and working on the Hauraki drainage works for a time. Lately he had been worrying over his escape, and so decided to give himself up.—>(P.A.)
