GAOL BREAKER RE-CAP-TURED.
Fairley (alias Wilton), who escaped with Groves from the Palmerston gaol, has been recaptured. Late on Saturday night Detective Cassels received information of the arrival of a man answering to Fairley’s description. The detective took with him Sergt. Taylor and Constable Muraniey, and went to a house in Courtenay Place at 2.30 o’clock on Sunday morning. Sergt. Taylor was posted at the back door and Detective Cassells and the constable entered by the front door. They found a man in bed in one of the rooms whom the detective immediately questioned. The man said his name was McGregor and that he was a farmer from Wanganui. Detective Cassells looked at the man’s arm and saw there a mark, which was peculiar to Fairley, but the man stoutly denied it. However, he was arrested and taken to the lock-up. It is probable Fairley will be brought to Palmerston and that his case will be heard conjointly with that of Groves at the sitting of the Supreme Court this week.
