The man under arrest, who was known at Elbow, Sask. as Roy Reynolds, was an expert baseball player and it was at a ball game last August that a North Dakota man, formerly connected with the North Dakota penitentiary thought he recognized him. He was coaching the Elbow baseball team and as Orton had done considerable coaching at the penitentiary, the North Dakota man was certain of his identity.
