WELLAND JAIL – Prisoners Have Old Time Scrap
[People’s Press, 12 January 1909]
William Price, aged 22, and John Murphy, 19, are in Welland jail. They will remain here until the 15th, when they will be sentenced for stealing from railway cars on the G.T.R. track, at Niagara Falls. The full account appears on our Niagara Falls page.
There are twenty-eight prisoners in Welland jail.
John Murphy, Thorold, has come to Welland to renew acquaintance. He will spend two months in jail.
Prisoners Fight
John Graham and Levi Reiger quarrelled on Sunday morning and squared away and had an old-time fight.
Both are prisoners in Welland jail.
Both the men’s faces were badly bruised, and they are now in cells where they will spend three days on bread and water. They will also go without dinner.
