He spent the next 3yrs. in the Guelph Training School, and in January 1963 was transferred to the federal penitentiary at Kingston, Ontario. But was he guilty? It was the profound conviction of the author that he was not. In 1966 the Canadian government, for the first time in Canadian history, asked the Supreme Court of Canada to, in effect, rehear the case.

He still maintains his innocence. Illus.
