GAOL TRADITION BORNE OUT
DARTMOOR CONVICTS
RECAPTURED
PLANES AND HOUNDS
LONDON, NOV. 23
THE TRADITION THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ESCAPE FROM DARTMOOR PRISON HAS AGAIN BEEN BORNE OUT BY THE RECAPTURE OF THE TWO CONVICTS, MICHAEL GASKEN AND AMEY, AFTER SIX DAYS AT LIBERTY.
The fugitives gave their pursuers a remarkable run, although they had only reached a point about twenty- five miles from the prison when they again fell into the hands of the law. Most of their time was spent in hid- ing, moving from point to point at night, over the bleak Dartmoor Forest area.
Their six days of liberty constitutes a record. Michael Gasken is an old hand at prison escapes. It was his own record that he was breaking on this occasion, He previously escaped from Dartmoor in February, 1931, and eluded pursuit for five days on that occasion.
The capture of Gasken and Amey was made by two policemen of the railway line between Exeter and Credi- ton. The prisoners made no further bid for liberty, and talked calmly with their captors of their narrow batagas from detection on several occasions.
Gasken mentioned that they were on many occa- sions within earshot of those engaged in the man-hunt, but their places of concealment were never detected,
On one occasion, they crouched in bushes when searching aeroplanes swooped only a few feet over their heads.
The nearest approach to previous capture, however, was when they actually saw the bloodhounds who had lost the scent sniffing around within ten yards of their hiding-place.
Gasken recalled that he made another éscape from Birmingham Prison in 1921, but he was also recaptured then-Reuter.
