The Governor realised rather late that McLeery never visited the prison. It was Evans who impersonated McLeery and stayed inside the cell. On the basis of the photocopied sheet the Governor drew some conclusions. The six-figure reference, 313/271 indicated the middle of Chipping Norton. It landed him in the middle of Chipping Norton where the Golden Lion was situated. When Evans unlocked his bedroom he was shocked. The Governor was sitting on the bed. He was handcuffed and made to sit in the prison van which was being driven by Evans’ accomplice with the Scottish accent.

The last foolish act of the Governor made him a laughing stock. Evans slipped out of the Governor’s custody due to his negligence. A thorough security check could have frustrated Evans’s plan. Had the vehicle and persons in it been properly identified, Evans would have been back in his cell. Thus Governor was outwitted by a small oversight on his part.
