""VICK" GETS THREE YEARS PENITENTIARY," St. Catharines Standard. June 19, 1912. Page 1.

Sentence Was Light Because Prisoner Had Been Good Four Years -Waiter Staples Gets 3 Months for Theft
----
In police court this morning the man who called himself John Vick, but whose right name is James Quinn, was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary for house-breaking and stealing clothing from a trunk stored in an office on King street. He has been in jail for four weeks, and the police have been looking up his record.
The prisoner comes from Guelph, where he was sentenced in 1897 to an eight year term for arson; and in 1908 he was sent to Central prison from Galt for stealing a pair of shoes. The police tried to connect him with a burglary in Owen Sound but were unable to do so. He promised if he were let off this time he would be good forevermore. The magistrate, in consideration of not finding anything against the prisoner within the last four years, sentenced him more lightly then he otherwise would, and hoped at the end of the three-year sentence he would lead a better life.
Walter Staples was up on remand on charges of stealing a raincoat and a pair of rubber boots. The case had been continued to get the evidence of Charles Boyd for the defence, and Mr. McCarron appeared.
[AL: Quinn alias Vick was 36, a printer by training but in and out of odd jobs, and an ex-convict and frequenter of jails. He was convict #F-416 this time around. He worked in the print shop at the Kingston penitentiary. He was reported once in June 1912 and admonished, and again in May 1913, and put in solitary for 24 hours. He was released in March 1915.]

“'KICK' HAD GONE OUT OF DYNAMITE,” Kingston Whig-Standard. February 24, 1933. Page 1.
----
Sticks Found at Welland Canal Likely Stolen and Buried in Rocks
----
ST. CATHARINES, Feb. 24 - Test at the laboratory at Queenston quarries of the dynamite discovered yesterday near the Welland Canal showed that most of the "kick" had gone out of the sticks through age and exposure to weather. Thirteen sticks unaccounted for are believed to have been found in granular condition by boys and scattered about the grass and rocks.
The box holding yesterday's find shows this dynamite was of a lot used many months ago. It had apparently been stolen from one or several contracting companies, left buried in the rocks and forgotten or left behind by thieves.
Chief Harold said today so far as he is concerned the case is closed.
