“Release Two Transients Locked Up in Town Jail,” Kingston Whig-Standard. January 10, 1933. Page 1. ---- MERRICKVILLE, Jan. 10— Tearing the lock off the town hall cell, a group of local young men over the week-end released two transients who had been locked up for causing a disturbance. One at the guards was out for a meal when the "jail delivery" occurred and the other was instructed to leave the town hall while the prisoners were released. An investigation into the matter is being held and the town considering the advisability of employing a regular constable. The two offenders were to have been released after one night’s incarceration.

[AL: A wild story. Merrickville is a pretty small town on the Rideau Canal, and had no police force in 1933 - that a group of local young men felt justified in releasing prisoners is remarkable as well. Direct action gets the goods!]
