WAS IT A JOKE
SELF-HELP STORE ESCAPADE.
By Telegraph—Per Pres* Associitioa.l
WELLINGTON, September I 20. It appears that • the two men who were caught by the police as the result of the chase from the alleyway at the Self Help Store in Courtenay Place last night were not under arrest, but; were merely being escorted to the; station by the police for the purpose; of investigating their bona tides. Ati first when they made a determined break for liberty they were captured* but the second time they were ful in getting away. Their presence in the alleyway might have been purely accidental, although the information received on the ’phone by the owner of the Self Help shops, Mr Sutherland; of Karon, might have been genuine. The . circumstances give . the . impression it. was a poor kind of a joke on someone’s part.
