By I Robber

A confession allegedly extorted by the City Police from Ulysse Lauzon, Ontario bandit suspect.

was declared to be without basis of fact by Chief of Police Birt- wlstle on Saturday. No statement or confession, he maintained. had’ been made so far as he was aware.

Questioned regarding a ress re-

rt he said "anyone night gct

hat" because Lauzon had been

“talking e. good deal" and probably

had “talked a lot through his hat”. Asked who had access to the pris-

oners in custody of the City Police

Chief Birtwistle said "only police

constables should be there." Some-

body, however. "might have been

somethtn ." He had not tioned hs men on but thought it might be idea if he did so.

More outspoken was Attorney- Genemi P‘. A. Large who said he intended to probe the mystery of an alleged confession to the City Police to the bottom. “Those men were left for a brief while in custody of the City Police," he said. "Apparently the instructions with regard to strict privacy were not carried out."

Quebec Police In Charge

Lauzon, his wife and Koresky had been turned over to the Que- bec Provincial Police on Friday morning. Mr. Large explained, The Quebec police uestioned them arid obtained a par iai confession from Koresky and a “pretty full" con- fession from Lauzon. They desir- ed to continue the questioning and

Inspector Anderson made this in- quiry on behalf of the Quebec police. Mr. Large said. The City police undertook to provide a cell as required, whereupon Lauzon was conveyed t0 the City Hall After the Quebec police had fin-

The instructions from Inspector Anderson, Mr. Large emphasized, were that: the prisoners were to have contact with nodbody. "Ap- parently." he added. "those instruc- tions were not followed out. I mean to find out why."

Lauzon and his wife and Koresky were taken to the mainland on Friday by the Quebec provincial police. It is understood that. they are standing charges in both Ori- tarlo and Quebec.

No charge has yet been referred against Koresky for aile ed at- tempt to shoot an R.C.M.P. constable when being taken to ChRIIOLLOiCJ-‘ii last Wednesday. This incident forms the main part of an alleged confession by Lauzon reportedly made to the City Police but, re- pudiated b them through Chief Birtwlstle. e alleged confe. i is to the following effect:

Alleged Confession

Lauzon reportedly told someone that he and his companions had a list of all the banks in Charlotte- town witli the number of clerks, male and female, suggesting that they may have planned to pull a ‘ob here though he did not actuar- y say as much,

Apparently resigned to serving out o, term of imprisonment after successfully evading capture for months, he allegedly said that the most he could get would be seven- teen years and the loot he had cached away would keep trim "all the rest of his life."

Explaining (allegedly). how he succeeded in escaping from a cell in a penitentiary in a certain town he said he sawed the bars_ which were revolving, making them cx- trcmely hard to hold. As the sav: went through he_fliied the space with soap. The cell was supposed to be fool proof. Although he had four saws hidden on his person ire was searched every day by guards. Those guards came around to his

ed the bars in a similar" way in the adjoining toilet. While he was sawing, a pal in the adjoining ce.r kept singing. to drown the no" e of the saw. slnglrr; stopped this was his signal to get back quick.

On entering the jail he alleged- ly said he had noticed a large wail surrounding the building. Kefipliifi th in mind ho made a rope out of blankets 30 feet long. On the. end he attached a hook which was made out of a cot spring. When the time came to escape this rope with the hook attached was thrown over the wail. This escape was made in the daytime and through the toilet window.

Telling of the race track squab- ble at Covehead he allegedly said that while coming down along the road his head was whirling but

was to ditch the car. He thought

The robbers gathered up their loot and then put the rest of the staff in the vault, clos- ed the door, and Lauzon added. it was an hour before anyone knew the bank was robbed. He added that they had lots of time to get away. When asked how the bank staff managed to get out n: a1. legedly explained there was always a screw driver left in the v-iult so that the combination lock could be removed from the inside. Asked what he thought of rob- bing a bank in Charlottetown, he reportedly said it was a "ten to one chance we could get off." “You have no bank in this city

Exercise Gare In Assisting Disabled Vets

By DOUG HOW CunadlaniPress Staff Writer OTTAWA, Sept. 16—iCP) -Th8 fate of thousands of Canadians disabled in war action or accid- ents is going to rest w a consider- able degree on the work and the understanding of 68 men in the

next few years.

They are the casualty rehabilita- tion officers of the department of veterans affairs. Some ‘i0 per cent of them have been disabled as servicemen themselves. Their duties are lengthy and complex.

Briefly they are these:-

‘Broadly. under direction. super- vision of the rehabilitation at crises assigned them. particularly in making possible the restoration of earning power.

To obtain and collate informa- tion about each case. This in- cludes information about educa- tion. formcr employment, military experience, vocational training. and physical capacity. The C.R.O. asks the veteran his hobbies, iii- tercsts, personality traits and at- titudes. He finds out about his financial status, social background, family or personal responsibilities.

If necessary. he arranges for ap- titude, interest, personality, trade and scholastic achievement tests. He gets medical reports. He visits places of employment, asks about pres nt and future employment poss biiities. He visits agencies do- ng community services, keeps abreast o1 occupational educational and industrial trends.

‘Pith these facts, he helps the veteran evaluate his potentialities, assists him in laving vocational plans, interprets his chances in relation to job and educational op- portunities. He ensures that the veteran's ultimate objective is feasible and commensurute witn his abilities and aptitude.

Tabs Veteran's Progress

He helps the veteran plan either for immediate employment, for training or for long-range ob- jeciives. He sees that maximum use is made of services provided by the veterans affairs, labor and other government departments and by public-private agencies and persons. He follows the progress of the veteran during the training program and in his placement and

il“°l'ls him lu meeting any adjust-

ment problems.

He keeps records of the cases. He contacts employers w interest them in the men, arranges place- merit of specific cases, assists em- loyers in the adjustment or solu- ion of any problems in employ- ment, _

Once the man is placed he kee s an eye on im, assists him if e needs assistance, arranges some- thing else if it becomes obvious that a mistake his been made.

The casualty section registers for such help disabled veterans who are unable to return to their former jobs. who must be given a job that will not aggravate their disability or endanger others. who are restricted in entering new oc- cupations or who may encounter employer or employee opposition w their em loyment.
