Is THE CITY JAIL As
GOOD rs COUNTY PRISON

In police circles and among city Of
ficials the fact that the pogtofffce
thieves were taken to the Henrico jail
instead of being confined in the city
jail Is a topic of diseugsio nat this
time. IL is pointed ont that no one
has ever escaped from the present
city jail, although there was an es-
cape from the old jail. An attempt
wes made one time by prisoners to
saw the bars from the present struc-
ture. but this was frustrated in the
nick of time.
A steel cage in the center OF the
jail, the same as is In the new Henrico
jail, could have afforded plenty OF
protection for the thieves, so say the
city authorities, and the fact that they
have been taken TO Henrtco Is a thorn
in the side of several who are in close
touch with the city department.
