That there have been careless methods
In the conduct Of the county jail is not de-
MED even by those closely connected with
its management. That desperate burg
lar shorld be placed practically in abso-
lutte control Of tue prisoners on the first

reprehensible breach of duty on the part
Of someone In control of the institute "A.
Sheriff Zaissr was cautioned by tho grand
jury about the soiled bed clothes provided
and also about the poor ventilation
afforded prisoners quarters. 1t remained
for private citizens TO caution him, or at
least his turnkey, Charles W. Doll, abodt
the relssiness with which strangers
were allowed In ami about the jail.
About five weeks sgo, Officer James
Battin Of the city police force, was sp-
preached by well known business man
who said he had seen tall, suspicious
looking man attempting TO pass articles
Of some kind through the bars Of the jail
