Masao Hotta, alias "The Fox," is behind the bars again.
The elusive bandit was. captured at 3 o'clock yesterday morning by a detail of the Japanese Consular Police, as he was entering a Korean residence on Bubbling Well Road.
Dressed. in a Chinese gown and looking haggard and tired; Hotta submitted to the guardians of law and order without a struggle.
Jubilantly, the police, headed by Sergeant Einoshiu "Hoshi,. bundled Hotta into a. waiting automobile, en route to the cell which he vacated without notice._on May. 10.
The Japanese Consular Police did not reveal how much of thie $277.40, taken by Hotta out of the police safe on his way out of the station, was recovered.
It was, however, disclosed that the first two days afier his daring escape, Hotta spent in a Chinese inn in the vicinity of the Great World Amusement Centre, at the corner of Vu Ya-ching and Nanking Roads.
