AnoShes Convict Leaves

John Whitaker, convicted st the
last term Of coart OF assault and bst.
terry Of high and aggravated nature
and sentenced to one year on the chain
gsug, made his escape on Tuesday
night. It will be recalled that ths
Harrisops with whom Whitaker had
his 6gat escaped q few weeks ago,
and Whitaker has bean anxious th1t
the Harrisons should bs reeaptured.
This may have had something TO do
with his determination to depart:
Whitaker had been made trusty
and did the cooking for The gang. A
few days sgo, however, so it il said,
another convict was given the job Of
cooking and Whitaker had to work
like the rest. It is supposed that this
also had something TO do with his
Aight. Up TO the time of going tc
press nothing had been heard Of him
here.
