For the first time in the, bistory of the prison the fugitive brought into real life the plot in Gals worthy's dramatic play "Escape," in which the central figure is a convict who, after leaving the prison, eludes the pursaing warders by seizing a motor-car.
The man, George Whitehead, aged 28, was on duty in the bath house while the other convicts were attending service. In consequence there were lewer warders than usual to be eluded.
Whitehead got away through a window of the bath-house, in which he had been locked while cleaning the brass, and with the aid of a ladder stolen from the blacksmith's shop he scaled the prison wall

It is stated that there has been opposition to the marriage on the part of the Prince's family,

Prince Charles Philippe said:
My marriage has to be postponed until early in May owing to my fiancée having been recently operated on for appendicitis She is still in a very weak state. When she is convalescent it will be time to consider formalities. We shall be married as soon as the in well. There is no question as to obtaining the dispensation.
