authorities had made hard fight to get him
from the jurisdiction of the courts there
Sheriff Michael J. F1aherty, who took charge
of the Jail with an entirely force, on Mon

important a prisoner, and will probably dismiss
one or more OF the keepers soon as he can
fix the blame.
Ex-senator La Roche, who had talk with
the Sheriff at the jail last night. declared that
the authorities of the jail. who are all members
of the Municipal Ownership League. were iot
of mugwumps and that he intended 10 put thelr
party "out of business.

TO have seen the performance, Brown, who was
walking with some other prisoners in the cor
ridor went his cell. put on his hat and coat
