STILL REFUSE TO WORK,
Prisoners in Sacramento Jail Say
They Will Break No
More Rock.
Supervisor Todd Advises Keeping Them
on Bread and Water for
Regular Diet.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. 31.-The in
suTrection OF the prisoners in the County
Jail, published exclusively in Yesterday s
CALL, is still on, and despite their bread
and water regime they absolutely refuse to
grasp q hammer or break rock.
There is no law that can compel Us to
work, said one of them, land we will not
DO it. For my part l would rather lay on
my mattress and chew bread and drink
water than to be pounding rock all day,
and the majority OF Us feel the same. This
talk about wire spectacles is all right, but
tnat isn't the fact of this trouble by any
means.
The truth is, he continued, becoming
confidential, 1.-THE boys feel sore about the
way Sheriff Johnson is trea ting those who
walked out the other day when Becker left
the back door open and that is the whole
cause of the general kick. During the past
year over thirty prisoners have flown this
coop, and what few have been gathered in
never got any punishment TO speak of, and
now when the back door is left open and
the boys take walk they all get bread and
water.
at has Just come to this. Either Sher-
if Johnson turns them men out 10 work
and gives 'em regular rations or none OF
Us work. He don t even dare TO file charges
against the boys for breaking jail, because
he knows old Pop Becker was the one
whose carelessness turned EN- out.
Sheriff Johnson, when interviewed on
the subject, said "There is not one atom
of truth in the report that Becker left that
door open. These opium hends and petty
thieves will say anything. and outsiders
who want TO run my business are only too
willing to believe their lying tales.
THAT door was locked by two OF nv
deputies and this man Cole will tell any
one how they worked the break. An old
ex-convict made false key and threw it
over the wall and the prisoners took adj
vantage Of deputies when they were en-
gagged in the first lookup to make their
break for liberty. We have that KEY In
our possession. Now that | have recap
tured nearly all of them. and having made
up nv mind that ordinary kindness is
lost on this class of humanity, l have
placed them on bread and water.
s'The entire crowd have com bined in an
endeavor TO force me 10 run matters in
their way, and l intend to show them that
/ will stand no more of their foolishness.
] intend TO prosecute every one of the es-
capes for Jail breaking, and ! believe they.
VIII all get six months for their escapade

until they beg TO go TO work. This wire

too much leniency and are fed too well.
The board bill for prisoners last month
was over S1100. This is simply outrageous.
shall advise Sheriff Johnson 10 put all
the prisoners on bread and water-very
little bread and lots of water.
1t Is about time that this criminal class
should understand that they are not pen
s1oners on this county. They go to the
County Jail sick and debilitated from pro-
longed sprees and dissipation, get doctored
up, well fed for sixty or ninety days, and
then come out feeling finer than silk.
u hey get right back into their old
habits and are only to glad to get into jail
again, where they are sure of their bean
soup and Irish stew. This thing has gone
lar enough.
II am in favor of vigorous discipline,
more dark cells for punishment, a restric-
ton on visitors, no more cigarette smoking
and bread and water diet. The amount
required to feed these men would build 4
little schoolhouse and employ a teacher
for several months
Cut of the roast beef and Irish stew
and give them bread and water with lots

jail will not be peopled with lbs vags and
tramps who want to pass the winter in
comfortable quarters"
