New Castle people were much incen.
sed yesterday by reading q letter In
the New York World purportln g to
have been written by man named

Gould. Those who have visited the
jail here can testify that there is no
between the colors OF
the prisoners.

day in the corridor and the colored
prisoners the next half day. The prls.
oners speak In the highest terms of
the sheriff and hiskwaEdens. At one
time prisoner used to get out ut 4
o'clock and be locked up at five. Tho
diet given to the prisoners Is as good
dislnterested parties are OF the opinion
