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.
