   Cadyville:  A second New York prison employee was arrested on   
   Wednesday for the escape of two convicted murderers who have   
   eluded a massive police manhunt for almost three weeks, police   
   said.   
      
   Clinton Correctional Facility officer Gene Palmer, 57, allegedly   
   took frozen hamburger meat embedded with smuggled tools to the   
   inmates, Richard Matt and David Sweat, CNN quoted Clinton County   
   District Attorney Andrew Wylie as saying.   
      
   Mr Wylie also said Palmer escorted the men into the catwalk area   
   behind their cells to fix electrical breakers so the inmates   
   could use hot plates to cook food. Authorities have said Matt   
   and Sweat used the catwalks during their June 6 escape.   
      
   Matt, 48, and Sweat, 35, cut through the steel walls of their   
   adjoining cells, slipped through a steam pipe and emerged from a   
   manhole outside the prison's fortress-like walls in Dannemora,   
   New York, according to authorities.   
      
   They used tools taken into the prison by Joyce Mitchell, 51, a   
   training supervisor in the prison tailor shop, who is charged   
   with aiding their escape, Wylie has said. Mitchell gave hacksaw   
   blades and a screwdriver bit to the men, whose good behavior had   
   landed them on the prison's honour block.   
      
   New York State Police said Palmer was arrested and charged with   
   promoting prison contraband, destroying evidence and official   
   misconduct.   
      
   Palmer's lawyer, Andrew Brockway, told CNN that Palmer would   
   plead not guilty and was cooperating with authorities. "He's a   
   man of integrity who made some mistakes," Mr Brockway said.   
      
   Police said the escapees may have at least one gun from a cache   
   of weapons in a cabin where they hid about 30 km from the   
   maximum security prison.   
      
   Major Charles Guess of the New York State Police told a news   
   conference that Sweat and Matt were believed to have been last   
   seen entering woods near the cabin in Owls Head, New York, on   
   Saturday.   
      
   A bloody sock and other items found at the cabin, which is   
   reportedly owned by corrections officers, were tested for DNA,   
   and Guess said police had "100 percent assurance they were in   
   that area".   
      
   More than 1,000 law enforcement officers scoured 194 square km   
   in rugged Franklin County, east of the prison.
