CRITICISING ZAISER.

Mrs. Georges statement to News Democrat
reporter to the effect that the front door of the
county jail has always been open to her, has
caused no little comment among those who
believe that no such liberties should have been
granted her Sheriff Zaiser is coming in for
no little share of criticism, from the friends of
the late Saxton. In fact, as the sheriff alone
verely upbraided by those citizens who can see
no reason why Mrs. George should have been
treated with the distinguished consideration
she alleges the sheriff at all times showed her.
An influential Republican, speaking to a
gloup of citizens, last evening, said: 81 am
not at all surprised at Mrs. Georges treat.
ment at the hands of Cheriff Zaiser. It was
patent all during her incarceration, or rather
detention, that in Sheriff Zaser the woman
charged with an awful crime had friend and
was treated with the consideration usually Civ
en- an esteemed guest. Whilepersonally had
no interest in the matter / could not help
noticing the prejudice in the prisoners favor
which prevailed not only on Sheriff Zsiser's
part but was plainly apparent in the conduct
toward her Of every member of the sherif's
force, both in the sherifps office and the
county Jail. Numerous protests, understand,
were filed against this show of favor but all
were OF no avail. / consider such conduct of
Sheriff Zaiser particularly reprehensible and /
am certain his methods OF conducting the Jail
will meet with the disapproval of our best
class OF citizens. 1t was only short time ago
that the grand jury was compelled to caution
him as to the manner of conducting the insti.
tuition. For a time prisoners seemed to break
out at will"

SHERIFF zAIsER TALKS.

A News Democrat reporter called upon

II have read Mrs. Georges interview" said
the sheriff. II treated Mrs George Just as ]
would any other woman who became prisoner
In the county jail. Further than that do moi
wish to publicly discuss the matter"
