Accompanied by a United States Marshal named Gordon, Lawson went to the farm. Marshal Gordon entered the house while Lawson waited in the yard. About three minutes later, Lawson saw Dr. King jump out a window and make a break for the woods. When King saw Lawson chasing him, he turned and ran into the barn. Lawson followed, and found King hiding under some straw. He pulled a revolver and told King to come with him or be shot. Clinton Lawson had no legal authority to sieze King on American soil and drag him back to Canada, but U.S. Marshl Gordon must have looked looke the other way. Lawson ignored King's protests and forced the doctor to accompany him to Cobourg where he was locked in jail. During King's trial a lawyer asked Lawson if the doctor had returned to Canada willingly. Lawson replied "No, sir. No sir-ee!"." from
