ESCAPED PRISONER
NIGHT IN THE SNOW [Per United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, September 28. The police are conducting a search for John William Graves, who escaped from the Waikune prison camp on Sunday afternoon. Ho must have got away about half an hour after a warder had made his periodic round at 2 o’clock. Graves’s experience that niodit must have been an unenviable one, for about a foot of snow fell in the National Park district, and there is practically no shelter for about four miles. Behind tho house there is fairly dense hush, and it seems likely that Graves would try to force his way through to get to tho railway line. Snow f 'l all through Sunday night and there was a high wind, so that unless he was able to find shelter before nightfall he would spend the night in the bush. Dav and night search rartics : - e out and all points are being watched for signs of the prisoner.
