WANTED MAN PASSES
THROUGH SEAFORTH
.\ story of hide and seek, nr rather
cons and robber, is told •of Norval
Beth escaped convict“ from Walkerton
jail. Norval is About 1l4 his father
was killed overseas in the Great \\'at'.
About 7 o'clock 'Wedne'sday thorn-
log last Chief ,Snel'l received ,phone
calls telling of the escape, and not
long afterwards this. district was thor-
oughly combed by (Provincial officers
searching -for the missing man.
The police had the right idea- but
were a few hours too soon.
On Wednesday " night when John
Nash of 'i'1a-rmrhey, neighbor of
Pell'. home, returned he noticed the
kitchen door open. Striking a' match
he .looked out and saw the shed floor
was closed, l -Ie went hack and light-
ed a lamp and :returned to the .shed;
by this time the shed door -wag open.
13.11, if it were he, must have ',ren
hiding in the octal Mn when lir. ,Nash
first carte hums'.
N•I r. tNag]i notified the police.
1n the meantime, "Mike" dlatwkins
walking front his home on .East Wil-
liam street to C'lark's Service Station,
was passing Crick's staple, .corner of
Ord and William streets, when Pell
stepped oat from the shadow's and
asked if he were driving the transport
truck to Toronto and if he could ac-
aompa ny him,. - --
iIn,skilts, unaware Bell was sought
by the police. readily agreed Ioftake
hint. BrHI scents to have waited near
the service station while Hawkins
caws down to the frays livery barn
on Market street and got the truck,
Bell getting on as the truck left Sea-
forth.
Turing the night Chief Snell made
a thorough check of the stores to 'be
certain 13 ell had not entered any.
In Toronto Bell parted from f-Iaw-
kins at the corner of Ilfuron and Du-
pont streets, 'Mike" :proceeding to
the boarding house on i'{uron st.
where the truck drivers stay, and
where his 'brother Roytlen Hawkins
stays, making local deliveries,
Chief Snell does teen say how he
found out. but about six o'clock nett
horning he knew- 13ell had made the
trip and sent word to IGodertch and
\Valkc•rton.
IMt seems that in no. tinge the
'Toronto hoarding 'house was swarm-
ing witli detectives and cops who
walked in:unannounced. The first
roan they enconntererl etas -a Scotch-

IS STILL FREE
Norval Bell,, who escaped from
Walkerton jail on Tuesday night of
last to -eek, stilt elides the dragnet of
police searching for his whereabouts
in Toronto and Western Ontario.
Last clue to his movements as re-
ported by police is that he is hiding
in Toronto. 'Police throughout - the
province and the international korner
have been notified to be on the look-
out for the fugitive. 'Reports from
various points statedthat a man of
Bell's deserip•tion had pakserl through
these 1tdaces, but close invc•st!gatitvt
hays' found these to be anfonnded- - -
Bell, who was sentenced to fete
years in Kingston a few hoursbefore
his successful getaway from the jail
at Walkerton, has so well covered up
his hacks and eluded the police ' that
officials cling to the theory that he no
doubt is keeping ,under cover in the
home of some friends, possibly in 'To-
ronto,- -
Jail officials concluded Ball must
have used a key to open the door to
his cell. He went down to the kitch-
en, piled boxes in a corner and got
through a ventilator window to the
roof. He stepped 'across to the jail
wail and dropped 'fifteen feet to the
ground outside. - (Relieving Turnkey
