When 1t was learned that Arnold, who
is counted one of the best of New Jer-

had hauled in the rest, word OF the
feat of the young women was sent to

More han two score of the men were

told me the soup consisted almost en-
tirely of water"
why did you investigate the jaiY'
pursued Director Beggs.
Because 1 had heard complaints
about the food"
Then Martin Quinlan was called. He
has been q keeper at the Jail for eleven
years. He was first asked about the
charge that the bread being doughty
on July 13. The loaf Mr.. O'Rourke
broke in half was in that condition. he
said, but he fastened to explain why.
All of the bread had been kept In a
closet, where a sortie of ants attacked
1t on the left flank, and the bread's re-
Inducements, in the shape of Mr.. Quin-
Ian himself, didn't arrive until the
bread was pretty well unfit for food.
Mr.. Quinlan said he had to move what
there was left out into the yard. Every
now and then, he added, ants are liable
to eat the bread of even the best reg
ulated families.
Mr.. Quinlan told about the meat de-
scribed in MI. O'Rourke's article. 1t ar
rived on a Saturday. Half of 1t was
used that day and was all right. The
rest, he said, he sailed and put away
in the ice chest. He explained that he
put 1t on the stove to cook on Sunday
morning and was at work in the pri-
vate yard of the jail when the atmos-
'phere disturbed his nostrils. The smell,
he said, came from the meat which was
cooking.
What did you do?" asked Mr..
DeYoe.
81 put a little charcoal in the water
in which it was cooking, and it got all
right" was Mr.. Quinlan's reply.
"Oh, them potatoes" exclaimed Mr..
Quinlan, when the subject was
preached by Mr.. DeYoe. "A man came
and said there vas some potatoes
there. 1 could smell them as l started
down the yard. 1 called Keeper Steele
and he refused to, accept them. After
ward they were taken ava and others
sent back by Mr.. Colgan."
Mr.. Quinlan said that the prisoners
are being fed more n better food
thar ever before and that the little in
cidents mentioned arc bound to occur
every now and then.
Here Sheriff Van Mort took a hand
din the questioning and forced Mr.. Quin-
Ian to admit that he had heard that
Jeanette Phyllis, Mary Griffin, Mary
Burns, Annie Stewart and Matilda
Barnett, q few of the jaiPs regular
female inmates. had been sick follow
ing the Sunday the meat was served.
I II don't pay attention to these peo-
pie, though" explained Quinlan. They
practically live at the jail. Some OF
'em I brought there myself twenty
five years ago.
Don't you think that the food which
is said to have made the women sick
on July 7 would have effected h men
the same way IL it mac been unfit to
eat?" Mr.. DeYoe asked.
"AIl / know" responded Mr.. Quin-
Ian, rather heatedly, sis that n or
the women-Mary Griffin, I think
complained to me and 1 said, Why
don't you stay away from here II you
dent like the food?'"
The men who furnish the supplies
testified that the provisions were as
| b5od as any to be had
The board wanted to investigate the
recent escape of prisoners, but the
sheriff refused to furnish the witnesses.

Members OF the Henry Reiboldt Fishing
Club, with headquarters at 26 Railroad
place, returned home today. after spend
ing the night of Cliffwood, near Keyport,
fishing, and they brought with them a
shark Weighing 400 pounds and measuring
ten feet in length. Edward Osborne and
Henry Burgesses were the lucky men to
catch the man-eater.
The shark is now on exhibition at 26
Railroad place.
When an EVENING STAR reporter
called to see the man-eater this afternoon
someone, during Mr.. Reiboldt's absence,
had place two bricks at the sharks tail
and put an old pair of shoes on the
bricks. A box had been placed at It's head
and a lighted candle placed upon 1t. Then
a piece of cloth was thrown over the big
fish, and 1t looked like a human corpse.
When Mr.. Rieboldt asked who had perpe-
trated the joke someone remarked that
they had been holding a wake over his
sharkship.
Many nave called to see the shark. Mr..
Rieboldt intends to keep the carcass.
