And the line grew thin as they crowded

With sunken cheek and an aspect meek,
Still stood without the pale.

Counterfeiter Ourverson Escapes and
His Sureties Will Be
Prosecuted.

There is a strong flavor of straw bonds
about the case of James Curverson. in
dicted by the United States Grand Jury
for passing several pieces OF counterfeit
money. Mr.. Curverson was bailed out by
two sureties who were perfect strangers
TO him, one of whom has admitted that he
received $40 for his services. hmm ediately
on being released, Curverson disappeared,
and when his case was called in the
United States District Court yesterday he
did not res pond.
The bondsmen are W. A Dswes and A.
w. Robinson. each of whom qualified for
$500. They had appeared before Deputy
United States Attorney Scbleslnger and
each for himself had sworn that he was
possessed of property valued a $500, over
and above all debts ana Liabilities.

No Fit Place for the Detention

SUPERVISORS MUST STAND TRIAL.
Every Possible Effort Will Be Made
to Compel Humane Treatment
of the Unfortunates.

Secretary J. F. Carrere of the State In
sanity Commission was in the city yester-
day making some Investigations on bshalf
OF the commission. AS a result it is
probable that something will be done al
once toward reforming the methods in
vogue in San Francisco.
at is the intention of the com mission
ers 10 do all in their power" said the sec
retary, ITO make the Board of Supervisors
here comply with the State law. We can
not do anything until the Attorney Gen
eral arrives, for the reforms under way
will pertain to the legal end of the COM
mission. He will be asked for advice.
"Drs. Hatch and Matthews of the COM
mission have inspected the insane wards
of the City Prison, and they pronounce
them unfit for the patients. The new law
and the instructions of the superinten-
dent of hospitals Hereunder require that
the insane be treated as sick persons, and
not as criminals. 1t is also req uired that
the entrances to places where the insane
are kept shat be separated from entrances
to prisons. Patients must be SO kept that
their conversations cannot be heard by
prisoners, and they must be treated in a
humane m tanner and under such rules
and scientific methods as are indicated by
N odern science"
The Boa of Supervisors Of this city
has declined 10 change the present sys-
tenn unless quarters outside of the City
Hall can be secured. Negotiations are
pending looking forward to the securing
of st. Marks Asylum, which is the old
Potter home for inebriatss. If this can
be secured II will be agreeable 10 the doc
tors as well as to the Supervisors. / is
the opinion, not only OF those me m bers of
the State Commission who have looked
into the question, bat of the Sheriff and
his deputies as well, that the present
! quarters for the insane, located IN the
basement OF the City Hall, are in no man
ner tit for their tenn oorary home. There
are none of the conveniences required
even by sane persons. The result is that
patients who are so far gone that they
cannot take care of themselves are left in
| a pitiable condition and their cells are
horribly filthy more than half the time.
The present quarters for the insane in
the City Hall are so close TO the cells oc-
cupied by prisoners that conversations
may readily be heard from one cell to an
other. The entrances to the prison lead
also to the wards for the insane, and worse
than all else there are none of the simplest
and m ost humane provisions fol the care
of those suffering from the many evils of
minds diseased. To remedy all these
evils at once is the present purpose of the
Com missioners. They are prepared to
take their case into court ii necessary.
