THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PROTECTING GurTEAU
now devOlves entirely on the civil authorities-the
warden OF the Jail being responsible for him from
the time he enters the door to the time he leaves
In the morning, giving a receipt for him on his
arrival and receiving one when he leaves Outside
the jail the responsibility for the prisoner is on the
marshal Doubtless the latter Will take all neces-
sary precautions in the future but there is no way
that he can procure the assistance of the regular
troops aG the arsenal or the marines at the bar
racks. The troops from the arsenal have been on
guard at the Jail since July Cd last to protect gov
