HABITUAL CRIMINAL AT LARGE.
ESCAPED FROM MT. EDEN GAOL
Auckland, Last Night. Up to a late hour to-night, an habitual criminal, Pene Karaiakiore, a Maori aged 36, who escaped from the quarry at Mount Eden prison this morning, had not been recaptured. Pene is reported to have been making off along Auburn road, in front of the gaol towards the Khyber Pass. The alarm was given and a large party of warders set out after the escapee. They were reinforced by five policemen from the city station and officers from substations. The trail led to the Domain, where Pene is reported to have been sighted. The area and its surroundings were scoured, but the Maori was not discovered. Later, however, he was seen further afield, going in the direction of Orakei. Pene was sentenced to two years’ hard labour and declared an habitual criminal in February, 1924, on charges of breaking, entering and theft at Auckland.
