Pedigrees in style THE DAILY BRIT WERE NOT SURPRISED AT CONVICTS TURNING UP Penitentiary Officials Expected the Escaped Men Would Pull Off Something. | | | | Although nothing official id being | { given but by the authorities at the | Portsmouth penitentiary, it is ucder- 'stood that Arthur Slade, better known 'as Red Ryan, one-of ;the five con- viets 'who escaped from the prison. will ba charged with doing bodily ' harm to Chief Keeper Mathew Walsh | if captured. The other four convicts will likely only be charged with es- i caping. It is stated that the other four convicts did not use any violence when making their escape. | On Thursday afternoon when the news reached the prison that the (our ! convicts had been identified as the | men who entered the Nova , Scotia . bank at Toronto and carried away { $1,500, the authorfties were not sur- | prised, as they were expecting to | hear that the convicts had done some- | thing desperate. A Kinsstonian, who formerly 'ived {in Toronto, stated that he had lived ! next door to Simpson, one of the es- | caped convicts. He said that Simp- | son ad enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force and served ov- erseas. Upon his return to his home it was c\2arly evident that he had developed some bad habits during his service in the army and his par- | ents were unable to do anything with | him. He pulled off some sensational robberies and when he was tried and were the men who escaped from the "pen". aad IN MARINE CIRCLES { Stn The steamer City of Hamilton ar- rived from Hamilton and Toronto on Thursday night and cleared for Mon- treal with, package freight.
