PARADE Him is Back in IN Caught by Shopman

:

STANLEY HILTON THURSTON, described by himself as "the man no gaol can hold,” is in a cell at Brix- ton Prison, after cluding the police for six months.

Thurston escaped from Lewes Prison August 9 last. He was captured after a struggle on a pavement in Ox- ford Street.

Responsible for his arrest was Leslie Pearse, a jeweller's as- sistant, who jumped on Thurston's back and brought him to the ground as he tried to escape from the police.

Thurston had called at Messrs. Attenborough's, jewellers and pawnbrokers in Oxford Street.

Describing the scene in the shop, the manager said: "Thurs- ton is a powerful-looking fellow, and when he came in and went to our pledge department we had no idea who he was,

The alarm was given, and it was found that the cell of another pri- soner, Bernard Cresswell Freeman, was also empty, the door having been forced.

Freeman was recaptured at Scar- borough after 11 days of liberty.

A sequel to Thurston's escape was the appearance of a 21-year-old single girl named Catterell at East Sussex Quarter Sessions in the name of Mrs. Eisle Thurston, charged with helping Thurston to escape. She was bound over on condition that she went to a home.
