-EAecpmpanyinZ the report Is q lengthy state
ment RON Marshal Lamon, sworn 70 by him be-
fore Justice Nayho,, In which be says:
The Senator's who made these anaults seem 10
have overlooked, disrsgarded the existing state

his Muster for safe-keePing; toat the government
paid nothing for the support Of these prisoners,
and had no mesns Of enforcing payment Of prison
dues, uniess the master, or Owner, should prove

"rhe committee are fully convinced thas the
jail should be put under the charge Of warden
other ofaeer, under suitable bonds, not respon-
sible TO the marshal, and that all the duties now
confined 10 the MARSHAL 4 n respect TO receiving,
Keeping, dieting and dischargfng prisoners BE
vested Ia such warden, who should be appointed
by the President by and with the advice and
consent Of the Senate, and that such warden
should receive q stated c"mpensation for his
vices, and no other emoluments, fees or perqui-
sites whatsoever.
The custody OF the jail was given to the mar.
shall a. long ago % February 27tn, 1901, when the
duties deyolyed upon him were com parat vely

sideraiions appropriate 20 Mr. Lamon personally,
the duties Of the marshal Of the district have be-
