Sheriff Richardson, who with | { Guard C. P. Dawson, of the Ottawa | Jail was in charge of Charles Geraci, | | who made his escape at the C.P.R.| | station but was recaptured, stated | { that the break for liberty made by | | the prisoner, followed on Geraci tak- | | ing advantage of kindness shown | { him by Guard Dawson while the pri- | soner was getting off the train and {en route to a waiting motor car | which was to convey him to the peni- | tentiary. [ | Sheriff Richardson stated that | | Guard Dawson had had the prisoner | handcuffed all the journey until the | traln reached Kingston. Thinking | thut it would be more convenient | and add to the prisoner's comfort | while en route from the train to the { penitentiary, Guard Dawson re- | moved the handcugs, shortly before | te train stopped. Charles Geraci was sentenced to serve two years in Portsmouth Pen- itentidry by Magistrate Joynt, on five charges of false pretences. | According to Sheriff Richardson, | Geract, an Italian by extraction, was | | i i | 1 | | {a stolid and tranquil prisoner throughout the journey. Handcuffs were kept on his wrists during all | train exchanges on the way from Ot- | tawa to Kingston, Bedell and Tich- | | borne, but as he was so quiet and | | the distance from the train to the | | waiting automobile so short, the | handcuffs were left off his wrists at | | Kingston, The train from Tichborne | to Kingston has only one coach. | While Geraci was stepping oft Turn: | key Dawson had hold of his coat, | No sooner had the Italian placed his | feet on the ground than he gave a violent wrench, breaking his custo- dian's grip. SAID ON ~ THE SIDE The Kingston Curling Club held | a business meeting Monday night | and it was almost cold enough to make ice for the followers of the roarin' game. The month of May will be known as "the sob sister." Baseball season opens in Kingston Wednesday evening. It is now in order for some person to offer a prize for the first home run. Judging by the appearance of many of the lawns around the city, it looks as if some people will have to get busy with the mower. But it does not seem just fight to be looking after a furnace the same time as ome is running the lawn mower. My, how the seasons have changed. Some of the baseball scores in the big leagues read more like cric- ket tallies. Get an early supper and hustle off to the ball game Wednesday evening. Everybody should pull hard for the Kingston ball team in the Cen- tral Ontario league. A good ball team is an asset to any town.
