THREE MEN ESCAPE FROM DON JAIL, SAW BAR, SLIDE DOWN SHEETS — Exterior of the Don Jail in Toronto at night, illuminated by floodlights, November 4, 1951. Three men, one of them with an artificial foot, squeezed through a hole just over 9 inches by 16 inches after sawing a bar from jail corridor window and made their escape over the wall. The men were Edwin Boyd, 37, of Pickering, ex-commando, awaiting trail on robbery and armed robbery charges; Leonard Jackson, 29, of Humberside Ave., charged with the armed robbery of a Brantford bank; and William Russell Jackson, 25, sentenced to seven years and 20 lashes for robbery with violence. Operating at first as a lone bandit, then later with a gang, Boyd committed several daring bank robberies in the late 1940s and early 1950s, most of them in the Toronto area. Boyd, Willie Jackson, Lenny Jackson and Steve Suchan were dubbed ‘The Boyd Gang’ by the media who sensationalized their crimes. Photo by John Boyd / The Globe and Mail
