They hid nearby until it got perfectly dark, and then they made their way to the rail- way track. Catching a freight train they got into a box ear and had the unpleasant experience of bein locked in by a brake- man, who did notinow they were hiding in a corner of a car. They managed to get the door of the car open again, however. and left the train just before it reached Toronto. fearing they might be detected at the ntation. la -Dunn nu... ,I....I:..LL -...I Al.-- .._-L _ IIIIUI-I IIUW EU UIOIPUU IFDIII BIDUIFOII penitentiary Lawrence. receptured n :- Hemillon. raid he In: working in 3.he y rd with a gang of other prleonen. vvhen he Ind another convict mmad J.
