JAlL.ER DOYLE,
How He Takes Convicted Prisoners to
Drinking Saloons at Night.
Some Inquiries Concerning the
Sheriff.

Willis Conrad Folz YVES turnkey &t tho Jail.
complaints we're often made Of the rough treat
ment Of prisoners; but it was never intimated
by my one that ho was ncglectfni guardian Of
those put ID his charge or that he allowed them
liberties forbidden by the regulations. Since he
left, however, aud the new appolutees Of Shor-
II Aguew haye heen in possession Of the keyH
the state Of affaira has material!y altered.
There have been complaints Of brutality, as
in the case Of McHale, but these hare not been
redeemed, II tho expression is proper one, bv
3 vigilant guarding OF the prisoners. The fact
is, that discipline has utterly disappeared from
the Jail. Prisoners have been continually as
Gaping, aither through the roof or BY passing
out under the nose Of the Jailer. Thess casas
have besn mentioned from time to time.
ONE OF raB Mogr SINGULAR
Of all the occurrences that have disg1acad tho
Jail occurred Saturday evening, the ofrender
being Doyle, the Jaile1. This is the sams man
who il charged along with Jim McHale with
stealing . ballot-box, and whose case il to be
Investigated by the coming Grand Jury.
Peter Hand. who for some few weexs ruled
ever the iocafcerated in tho City JAIL VAS finally
docnp.tated, because, either from an overween-
h's worldly pelf, he engaged in the business Of
dealing out lger-beer. ETC., to the prisoners.
HiaAnccessor, Doyle, WAS appointed as man
whom no considerations could induce into
weak or waver1ng sentiment In regard to the
locked-up persons consigned to his charge.
When the appointment was made, it was fond1y
hoped thst the time had como when Chicago
would ba able to boast Of Jailer superior to sl
Inducements to engage in anything outside OF
Jailer's legitimate business Alas that tho truth
has to be confessed that, while Peter Hand erred
in bringing whisky to the prisoners, JaIe'
Doyle has eTed In, bringing prisoners to
the whisky. Without snlering into any
long account Of this Jaliers little derelictiou OF
duty, suffice it to say that Friday night he re-
leased from luis cell
