"Maby has served the government
for fifteen years" said the sheriff.,
"and nothing has been brought up a
! l,g,. s, e-f,~ 20
years of age and has a family of fifteen
children, and 1 do not believe that he
would allow any abuse of prisoners. He
is working under great difficulties, as
Hilo needs a new prison.
TT is impossible to run a prison
without such lite incidents as that of
Okamoto, but 1 do not believe there
was anything to blame the jailer about
in that. I taxed with many of the
best people in Hilo and they strongly
supported Maby 1 see no reason to
remove him and shall not do So"
The only change the High Sheriff re-
commended was in the matter of morn
ing food He advised Maby to adopt
the system in vogue here, under which
the men who go to work in quarries
after an early breakfast are given bis
cult and tea at $3.50 a. m. AS to tn
alleged bread with maggots, the sheriff
denies the charges. 'Hilo has to use
the California hard bread when tn
prison baking fails" he said, cas- there
is no bakery there. We could get the
California bread cheaper than the 10.
cal bread, for oahu prison, but do not
do so on account of the weevil. 1t j
