GERALD CLUFF ENTERS KINGSTON PENITENTIARY Gerald Cluff, aged 27, of Kirkton, entered Portsmouth penitentiary on Saturday to start Serving 28 jail terms. He is believed to have been the most-sentenced man ever to be taken from Middlesex County jail to a federal prison. In the early part of the time he spends at Kingston, every day in the penitentiary will really represent 28 days. All 28 terms are being serv­ ed simultaneously. Some of the sentences are six months, some two years, and some two and a half years. He will have to do only the longest sentence, and he may cut even that down by good behavior. Cluff was taken by police on a tour of Western Ontario courts after they.caught up with him for a long trail of bad cheques. He pleaded guilty and was fenced in Stratford, Goderich, Mid­ dlesex County and London courts. Ho signed away his right to ap­ peal against the sentences h> had re­ ceived, and was placed on the early Saturdy morning train, in custody of a sheriff’s officer, bound for ’he penitentiary. sen- City ■*r L.
