Second Escape
All four men were placed in side-by-side cells in the Don Jail. On Sept. 7, 1952, they managed to escape for a second time with the help of another saw blade smuggled in by a lawyer. The following night, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's first television newscast, anchored by Lorne Greene and produced by Harry Rasky, detailed the escape.
The jail's warden was suspended, and a $26,000 reward was offered for information leading to their arrest.

Famous quotes containing the word escape:
“... how have I used rivers, how have I used wars
to escape writing of the worst thing of all—
not the crimes of other, not even our own death,
but the failure to want our freedom passionately enough
so that blighted elms, sick rivers, massacres would seem
mere emblems of that desecration of ourselves?”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Those deprived of such friends rejoice; those who have them pray to escape them.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
