NO TRACE YET FOUND OF MISSING CONVICT " nr Lawrence Hurtublse Mas Had Liberty From "Pen" Since Yo May Sst. Lawrence Hurtubise, the Ports- mouth peniténtiary prisoner who made his escape from the Hatel Dieu Hospital on May 81st, 1s still at large, and so far the local author. ities have not received the slightest ejcltie a8 tp his whereabouts. This man was sentenced at To- rofito last August, to serve seven years in the penitentiary, but a short time after being brought to the prison it was found that he was suffering from severe symptoms of heart disease. He grew rapidly worse until in December, on the ad- vice of three city physicians, he was removed to the Hotel Dien for tréat- ment. At that time, It was thought that he could not recover.

Having bad numerous enquiries I believe it would be well to give the correct account of the aceident to the best of my ability. I have noticed that most papwss say that the driver thought that he was on thé road ledding to the Bel- leville bay bridge, or else the bay SHAW'S DAILY STORE NEWS. RUGS AND DRAPERIES AT THEIR BEST! We offer for your inspec- bridge itself, when the accident oe«} curred. On the contrary both the | driver and myself knew we were not on the bay bridge road but we thought that, after making the left turn from the Kingston highway, we could then turn to our right and fol- we the bay bridge. In other words,' since none of the occupants of thé car were familiar with the city, we had no thought of the river which barred our path from the bay bridge road. What was more confusing to the driver was the fact that when we entered the city a few honrs previ- ously we had reached the Kingston highway by different stréets - than those on which we returned. However, after making tne eft turn we followed this street south, looking for a turn to our right as 1 said before. We were going slowly for it was raining heavily and very dark. The only point at which any~ thing could be clearly seen was the are through which the automatic windshield wiper. was working in front of the driver. Nothing was said for some ljttle time previous to the accident except when the tights of the boat at the whart show- ed up. Then Keith Ostrander said "This must be a railroad switch." The colored lights on the boat and the railway tracks on thé dock serv- ed to strengthen this opinion. The néxt instant I noticed the blackness tour or five feet ahead of the car, and then came the crash as the ear" went over. The car instantly filled with water, and sank to the bottom of the bay.

I -went to the bottom with the car and after" the first shock had passed, I thought of the car door snd that I must hold my breath. I miraculously tound the handle of the door and 0p- gned it, when, of course, the buoy- ancy of the water shot me to the surface just as I would have -been forced to 'také a deep breath, I would have gladly helped any of the rest to safety had it 'Been in my pow- er but it was utterly impossible un- der the mstances. 1 then swam towards thd wharf calling for help three times. I tried to grasp something at the dock hut the front of it was perfectly smooth. I was then totally exhausted and was slowly sinking, this being hdstened by the fact that I had on a raincoat which was by this time water soak ed. Just as 1 was going under I felt a rope and grasped it, but I was too weak to be pulled to the dock, The next thing I knew I felt 2 ladder and was finally-hauled to the doek by its aid, I was then tak- en beside the boiler of the steamer Glen Allen, and later takem to the Belleville hospital in the police car. I would state here that the driver of the car, Keith Ostrander, used ev- ery possiblé precaution to prevent an acicdent. He was driving very slow. iy and watching as much as possible. The night was an extremely bad one and there was nothing to .the best of my knowledge to warn him of his danger. Nat one of the four oceun- pant® of the car ever dreamed that thay were dangerously near the wa- ters of the, Bay of Quinte when the 828 BROCK STREET > accident occurred. _ The papers stated that I was a cousin of Geraldine Dulmage, and I would like to state here that Keith and Berenice Ostrander were my first coubins also. I would like to take this oppor- tunity of thanking anyone who help- &d in any way to save me from cer- tain death, the Belleville police force, for their courteous treatment of me at the time and after the ac- cident and also the staff of the Belleville General Hospital for their many. acts of kindness. Thankitg you for your valuable space, ROY O. DULMAGE. Picton, June 21. Young Man Mourning Wi ~The Loss of $600 A 'youn hati, whose home is in Watertown, N. Y., was robbed of $900, just a short time ago, 80 he claims, .by a number of gypsies who yisited Watertown, N. Y. He be- lieves that the band of gypsies who were arrested for the bank robbery at Beeley's Bay may be the parties who stole his money, gnd for this réason he has madé a trip to Canada to try and have his case investigated. It was learned to-day, that the young man js in Lyndhurst, but his name coyld not be secured. It appears that the young man wanted his fortune told, and at the request of one of the gypsy Queens, he took his wad out of the bank.
