Original Toronto Star caption: Mrs. Jack Gillespie and daughter Candace hear from the Toronto detective who also aided in capture. Both Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Gillespie went through a terrible ordeal when they knew the search was closing in on Leonard Jackson and their husbands were taking part. None of the police officers was hit during capture though the criminal fired two guns. He didn't get a chance to use two Thompson sub-machine-guns
