SECOND JAIL ESCAPEE. Smart Capture At West Pont.

Lo Luk-cheung, the jail breaker who succeeded in get- ting away yesterday after- noon, and temporarily made good his escape, as reported in another part of this issue was recaptured in West Point this morning.

His freedom had been -short-lived as within 15 hours of his get-away he was He was again in custody. taken at about 7.30 a.m. in one of the lower class bro- thels in West Point, where he had spent the night.

The capture of Lo is the result of a. amart piece of de- tective work on the part of a Chinese plain-clothes man stationed at West Point. Efforts made by the China Mail to ascertain the name of this detective, with the view of giving him full credit, proved fruitless.

After his capture Lo was taken to No. 7 Police Sta- tion where he was detained until his identity had been fully established when he was taken under Pollice es- cort to the Central Police Sta- tion from where he was handed back to the jail jail closed behind him again at about 10.30 am. eighteen
