Bargained for Five Hours City Editor Talks Convicts Into Releasing Prison Guard
Vancouver Province city editor Bruce Larsen bargained five hours with three convicts at Oakalla Prison Farm to free handcuffed guard Ernest Loveless after they held him at the barber shop. Loveless, held for more than six hours, was released as the extras sold rapidly with 11,000 copies sold within an hour. The trio, serving 20 year terms for attempted murder, kept a razor at Loveless’s throat during the ordeal.
