There, after year in bed, he managed an escape from a hospital upper floor to avoid a leg imputation. Unable to wall, but with the help of a taxi driver, friends and t "nursie" he trav eled, at midniht down a rope of knotted sheets. By morning he was In Toronto, Canada, he relates, and be fore long, by train, had gone to the end of the line into Saskatchewan. kf Staliontier "The station master looked at me," Kennedy recalls.
