Turks were of the laboring class and at the time of flleir arrest they were out. oi work and they did not seem to dislike their trip to Kingston. In coming to Kingston, they were certain that an would be found for them and that there would be nothing- to worry a- bout. One of the biggest fears that the: authorities in Brantiord held. before ‘ the exit of the Turks. was a quarrel? between the latter any some three or four hundred Armenians that are in that city. Although the Armenians are Turkish subjects, it is well known that they haVB always been in! a state of rebellion and it was{ thought that they would make trou- ble for their fellow countrymen. Their loyalty to the British crown when they reside on British territory is well known and it is generally con- ceded that they will not be bothered. ! i '9 (Special to The Post.) ‘ The Lam-eville branch of the W.
