THE MISSING PRISONERS. Despite eager and widespread search for the four missing prisoners, the police have found no further trace since discovering the discarded prison clothing on Mr Martin Wilson’s property at Remuera yesterday morning. At 1 o’clock to-day the police said no complaints had been received of the theft of food or clothing. It is believed that the men are still in the Auckland district.—Press Association.
