ESCAPED PRISONER STILL AT LIBERTY Dominion Special. Auckland, December 7. Members of the local detective staff, with city and suburban police officers, continue to search for the habitual criminal, Samuel Arthur Pudney, who escaped from the quarry at Mount Eden Prison ou Sunday' evening. It is believed that Pudney is somewhere in the Dominion Road district or adjoining areas, on which the police are concentrating their attention. At the time of his escape Pudney was aiding warders to search a portion of the gaol quarry for cigarettes or other prohibited articles which were supposed to have been smuggled to prisoners. It is understood that Pudney intimated that he knew where such articles were hidden about the quarrv, and offered to take warders to the place of concealment. While the officers were engaged in searching, with Pudney presumably doing the same thing, he made his dash for freedom.
