One Recaptured - Two Mountjoy Escapees Sought
March 31, 1958
Two young men who escaped from St. Patrick’s Borstal at Mountjoy Prison on Friday remain at large. A third escapee, Patrick Noblett (20) from Waterford, serving two years for housebreaking, was recaptured after an exciting chase on Sundrive Road, Dublin.
The missing men are James Edgeworth (21) of Clogher Road, Crumlin, serving 15 months for housebreaking, and Luke Lyons (19) of Cloiginn Road, Ballyfermot, serving 18 months for wounding. They escaped by scaling the prison wall and were not immediately noticed. Patrol cars have searched the area and their homes but have yet to find them.
