PRISONER'S RUSE.
FRENCH WARDER HOODWINKED,
(Australian and N.Z Cable Assn.} (Received April 14, 11.5 a.m.) PARIS, April 13.
Bclsa, a Spanish thief, had been sentenced to two years for stealing a motor car. He was being taken to prison, and as the van was passing the door of the Palace of Justice he whispered enthusiastically to the warder. "What a pretty girl!" Being a Frenchman, the warder looked sharply round. No pretty girl was there, however, and when he looked back there was no prisoner either.
