Joseph Albert Adrien Lepitre: MISC.: -Ottawa Journal (ONT), Tuesday, 11 July 1939: Hamilton – July 10 – Provincial Constable William Hawkins lodged Adrian LePitre, of Montreal, in police cells here tonight on a charge of vagrancy after the discovery of a quantity of dynamite, fuses and tools beneath a railway bridge near Dundas. LePitre was arrested by Police Chief Earl Jack of Dundas, who commandeered a jigger from a Canadian National Railways section gang and travelled two miles at top speed before finding the man. The explosives were found beneath a C.N.R. bridge by James Barkley, who had been picking berries in the district. Barkley told police that when he picked up the package a man came from behind a clump of bushes and tackled him. The man broke free with the package. Barkley hurried to Dundas to get Chief Jack. The officer commandeered a railway jigger and driven by C.N.R. Foreman Hubert Hughes, of Lynden, raced down the track until he found LePitre. LePitre did not have the explosives or tools when arrested. They were picked up near the railway tracks.
- The Gazette (Montreal, QUE), Wednesday, 23 August 1939: Hamilton, Ont., August 22 – Adrien Lepitre, of Montreal, today was convicted of a charge of possessing an explosive and was sentenced to two years less a day in Ontario Reformatory and three months indeterminate. He was arrested after police said a parcel containing an explosive was found near a railway bridge at Dundas. Police said Lepitre claimed the parcel from the man who found it.
- The Gazette (Montreal, QUE), Friday, 21 June 1946: Kirkland Lake, Ont., June 20 – Adrien Lepitre of Montreal, who broke jail here eight days ago, was still at large today despite a wide-spread manhunt covering all Northern Ontario. Wanted throughout Northern Ontario and northwestern Quebec on charges ranging from theft to breaking and entering, Lepitre clubbed a constable over the head and fled into the bush last week. Various points reported seeing a man answering Lepitre’s description, but police said they believe he is several hundred miles away by now, probably in Montreal.
- Winnipeg Tribune (Manitoba), Wednesday, 21 August 1946: A city wide search by R.C.M.P. and Winnipeg police ended early Tuesday night when they closed in on John Lepitre, alias O’Shea, in a William ave., rooming house, ending a brief flurry of freedom for the man who is listed as notorious safecracker in Eastern Canada. Lepitre has been on the wanted list since his escape from custody in Kirkland Lake where he was being held on a charge of breaking and entering. The cracksman, who is being held at Rupert street headquarters awaiting escort from the East was described by Detective David Nicholson today as “a dangerous criminal with a long record.” His career has been slowed by several lengthy prison terms for breaking, entering and safe cracking. Lepitre surrendered quietly about 6.35 p.m. Police in searching him found one hacksaw blade in the waist band of his trousers and another in a similar hiding place of a second pair of pants hanging in a closet. He also had two rotary saw blades and extensive plans drawn for “an advanced type of safe cracking device,” police said. The capture of Lepitre, a slightly built, balding man with a heavy beard, ended the police hunt which has been going on since his picture appeared in the gazette last June.
- The Montreal Star (QUE), Tuesday, 27 August 1946: Port Arthur, Aug. 27 - Adrien Lapitre, a prisoner under escort from Winnipeg to Kirkland Lake, Ont., died of injuries in Nakina hospital last night after he leaped through a train window in an attempt to escape. Lapitre, arrested in Winnipeg last week on charges of breaking and entering in Ontario, was said to have been placed in an upper berth, handcuffed and with his legs in irons. Some time during the night he filed through both cuffs and irons and, police said, used them to beat off a Kirkland Lake police officer guarding him. He jumped from the train near Willet, about 80 miles west of Nakina. The train was stopped and he was found lying badly injured beside the track.
- The Winnipeg Tribune (ONT), Tuesday, 27 August 1946: Adrian Lepitre, alias O'Shea, listed in eastern Canada as a dangerous criminal and infamous safe cracker, plunged to his death near Armstrong, Ont., Monday night while attempting to escape from police who were guarding him in the drawing room of a C.N.R. train bound for North Bay. Inspector J. W. Young, C.N.R. police, said Lepitre knocked out his escort and then made his daring leap through the window of the speeding train. When Lepitre left the city Sunday night under escort to stand trial at Kirkland Lake, he was wearing leg irons. It was not known whether these had been removed on the train. Lepitre was caught in a William ave. rooming house here last week by city police and R.C.M.P. He left the city Sunday night in the custody of a sergeant from the Kirkland Lake police and a constable of the railway force to answer charges in Ontario. Known from his record as a tricky customer, Lepitre jumped from a window of the Montreal train, Section No. 2. He suffered severe injury to his legs and multiple lacerations to the body when he hit the ground. He died in Nakina hospital. Detective Inspector David Nicholson said today that Lepitre's actions in Winnipeg indicated that he was getting ready to operate here. At the time of his capture, two hacksaw blades were found in the waistband of his trousers and city police took possession of extensive plans he had drawn for an ingenious safe cracking device. Later it was discovered that Lepitre had succeeded in having a model assembled from parts made in six different city machine shops. When police took possession of the device, described by Inspector Nicholson as "one of the best of its kind I've ever seen," he protested violently that it had cost him $1,300. He also threatened the police with suit for violating his patent rights on the machine which, he claimed, was not intended as a burglary tool.
