There is some disposition to CgitiCiso
the action of Alderman Samson, IN sum.
moning before him prisoners who are nov
serving term Of imprisonment tor other
otfenses, aud especially hycause Of his
hearing complaints against some of whom
have been at largo tor nearly two years ,
but the alderman saYs hO is acting under
the advice OF Drstrtc, Attorney Eharly,
who says that the gang Of prisoners
who first escaped cannot bo tried
ior breaking jail, unless truo bills
are found against them at the ApiII
court, This may be reason Tor the action
taken by the district attorney aud the
alderman, but uuoharilably inclined people
will think that The reason is because thcI,
is nice rich plum In twenty two oom
plants, commitments aud indictments
that will never come to trnl. County
