BOYS' ADVENTURE.
ESCAPEES FROM CUSTODY. CHARGES OF THEFT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Palmerston North, Last Night. Some interest attaches to the week-end adventures of two escapees from the Weraroa training farm. Reuben Curtis Warnock, aged nineteen, and Norman Paul Nesbit, aged eighteen, absconded on Friday evening, making for Palmerston Nortn. Each in turn represented that he was the nephew of a well-known local doctor, and obtained clothing and credit at several stores. On Sunday evening, during church service, they mounted two bicycles outside a church and rode to Feilding, where this morning, claiming relationship with a local butcher, they obtained complete outfits of the value of about £l5. They next entered a dwelling, securing jewellery and money. This morning they decided to return to Palmerston North, and hired a taxi, but Detective-Sergeant Quirke, from information received, was waiting in the square, and when the taxi with its two young occupants came in view he stopped it and made a third passenger, and drove to the police station, where full confessions were obtained. They will be charged to-morrow morning.
