The Honour Of
A Crook
SELF-CONFESSED ring-leader of trouble in Dartmoor Prison last January, Jack Lorraine, house- breaker, appealed from the dock at Devon Assizes on behalf of a fellow convict, Ronald Holdsworth, gunman, who was charged with him.
"It has been said in this court that there is a certain amount of honour among thieves. That is partly true of men In Dart- moor. It is more true of them - than of men outside."
Lorraine and Holdsworth had been found guilty of attacking another convict named Mauri with a razor. Lorraine was sentenced to twenty months' imprisonment and Holdsworth to eighteen months.
"I am the ring-leader Candi Holdsworth was not.” declared Lorraine.
