“Boys Secured Money from Two Women; They Are Sent To Reformatory; Another Lad’s Sentence Is Added To,” Toronto Globe. June 9, 1919. Page 5.

(Special Despatch to The Globe.)
Belleville, June 8. – In the County Court yesterday, Judge Desroches passed sentence on H. Smith, aged seventeen, and Ralph Kellogg, aged sixteen years, sending them to the Ontario Reformatory for terms of four months each and for indeterminate periods thereafter.  These boys left Trenton by train for Millbridge and entered a general store and post office near the vilage of Millbridge, securing money from the lady in charge and from her sister after one of the youths had brandished a revolver.  After getting away they were rounded up by a brother of the ladies and marched to Bannockburn.  One of the boys, Smith, made an attempt to escape from the County Jail here.  He succeeded in getting out but was captured in a few minutes.

Frank Wilson, jun., who made his escape from the local jail while awaiting removal to the Ontario Reformatory for theft, and was recaptured at Bloomfield, was yesterday sentenced by Magistrate Masson to six months in the Reformatory, to follow expiration of the other sentence.”
