“Kingston Prisoner Aided Chief Draper,” Toronto Star. October 9, 1930. Page 04. ---- Is Said to Have Identified Wanted Man ----- According to a dispatch from Kingston, Chief of Police D. C. Draper of Toronto, recently journeyed to Kingston penitentiary for the purpose of establishing the identity of Jack O’Brien, believed to be Pat Norton, notorious robber, wanted on a murder charge.
Armed with a picture of O’Brien, or Norton, Chief Draper is alleged to have been closeted with a prisoner, Murrell, who was sentenced nine years ago for the part he played with Norton in the robbing of a Melbourne bank in which a London man was murdered.
Murrell, it is alleged, identified the photograph as that of Norton who is being sought at present by the Toronto police for holding up and robbing the messenger of the Durable Waterproof Co., on Adelaide St. W., some three weeks.
The police at the time were not certain that the holdup man was the same Norton who has eluded them for nine years. Murrell’s alleged identification of the picture clears up the situation and the Toronto police, satisfied that Norton is now the man they are after, will make determined efforts to locate him.
