PRINCETOWN (Devon). "BULLDOG ARTHUR," thirty-seven- year-old East End gunman, leader of Dart- moor's biggest jail-break, in 1924, made his second escape from the prison at dawn to-day.
With two other convicts, Charles Bishop, forty-five-year-old Folkestone housebreaker, and forty-year-old Thomas Edwards, of Stoke-on- Trent, "Bulldog"-his name is Arthur Cox-is believed to have got away from the cookhouse by a ladder they had made and hidden near the prison wall, ready for instant assembly.
Wartime restrictions on the sounding of sirens meant that the men had escaped into the country. side and it had not been possible to give the alarm.
