It ended Friday at a cottage on the outskirts of Montreal where three police forces combined for the big capture. Hence the gathering of perspiring press- men. Rivard, beetle-browed and 49, is remembered by many people who stayed at his former re- sort near Montreal "He. always seemed to be in bathing trunks," sai%-one guest, "and he was brown as a berry." Few realized Rivard was the sort of man ai United: States connection with a huge ring of dope-smugglers Few guessed that Rivard soon would be the central figure in an investigation explo- sive enough to rock the gov- ernment of Canada, and would stage a jail - break brazen enough to convulse and alarm the whole country In his 40s, Rivard betrayed little of his past. Good clothes, the sauve, sometimes gallant- seeming manner,.a snappy, red- haired wife, all were there to conceal it As a young man he served two short jail terms for theft and was sentenced to three and possessing stolen goods. Later, say U.S. authorities, he prospered on the trafficking of narcotics in a drug career they allege goes back to the 1940s. Then in June, 1964, came his arrest in Montreal at the . re- quest of the grand jury in La- redo, Tex Extradition proceedings fol- lowed for Rivard and three men picked up with him. KISSES PUBLICIZED The legal battle dragged on through several months and frequent court appearances each of which Rivafd would make a point of motioning af- ny to Marie, his wife. hae we 8 NN ~ \ N oe exchanged too, in the few mo- ments the couple were allowed together in public Then came the allegation that stirred all Canada--that federal officials had sought, by a bribe offer and coercion, to get Ri- vard free'on bail. That brought on the Dorion inquiry. There Rivard duly made his appearances and rat- tled off testimony with charac- teristic coolness. But it was his valut over the wall at Bordeaux March 2 'that brought him real fame -- and mostly for the way it was done Rivard asked for a hose to water a skating rink on a frost- companion tied up the guards and offered them cigarettes be- fore flinging the hose over the 27-foot-high wall. Rivard commandeered a mo- tor car and tipped off the owner where it could be found. He also offered taxi fare to the hapless driver who was about to find himself temporarily car-less. Then: followed a letter to the warden of Bordeaux, apologiz- ing for all the fuss, There was a declaration of innocence too, and of pity for the "'under-paid"' guards and the statement: "T have never taken a cent from anyone poorer than my- self." 12,000 feet high. on Ann Lenders -- 11 City News. -- 9 Classified -- 14, 15, 16 Comics -- 18 Editorial -- 4 Financial -- 17 ...In THE TIMES today...
