PRISONER 93 YEARS OLD
[People’s Press, 12 March 1912]
Over Thursday night Patrick Loughran of Thorold slumbered in confinement beneath the town hall. Patrick is a shamrock from the old sod and though he has reached the rather mature age of 93 years has not finished sowing his wild oats. He was conducted to the police station on Thursday evening in quite an ory eyed condition.
On Friday liberty was given back to him when he promised to return immediately to Thorold with the chief of police of that town who was in Welland. This is his first experience inside the bars, claims the Irishman.
He is the oldest man ever confined in Welland police cells.
