| THE COUNTY JAIL.

were booked at the county Jail 462
prisoners. They came under the fol-
lowing headings: Murder, z; rape, 1
assault to kill, 8; assault with deadly
weapon, 8; assault to rape, 8; robbery,
5; perjury, s; grand larceny, IL; bur-

| I - g..
corrigibles booked for Whittier from
this county, 19; vagrancy, 1853; in
decent exposure, l.
These figures are not 80 high as those
of the corresponding months of 1891, by
round hundred. 1t must not be lost
sight of either that out of those 462
cases, 1853 are for vagrancy. During the
winter months the county is overrun by
men without money from all parts of
the United States, who are in search of
q pleasant climate and nothing particu-
lar to do. These vagrants are caught in
the country districts, for the safety of
the rural inhabitants, and Gagged at pub
lie expense. While in the month of
January, thirty-s six vagrants were jailed,
each succeeding month saw the number
diminish until none at all were arrested
during June. None of these people are
at all identified with Los Angeles
county, and disappear as soon as their
sentence is completed. The population
of the county being nearly 10000, the
percentage of arrests as compared with
cities of similar size elsewhere, is re-
markably small.
