Western Newspaper Un;on News Service.
 Little Rock.-Sam Brassfield, the former Argenta policeman who lan- guished in the Pulaski county jail all summer, is once more guarding his former comrades ill the official ca pacity of jailer.
 Brassfield has had two experiences of being "on the inside looking out" " the latest occurring last week, when Judge Trieber of the United States District Court set aside the sentence of six months in jail, which he had imposed upon the former patrolman on the day previous. Brassfield had been convicted of impersonating a federal officer
 Judge Trieber said it had been rep resented to him that Brassfields wife and child were dependent upon him for support, and that the prisoner was desirous of becoming a good citizen. Therefore he substituted a fine O. $100 and s55.34 costs for the six months jail sentence. Sheriff Norman Beller, who had been forced to remove Brassfield from his position as taller after his conviction, reinstated him, and Brassfield is again guarding the steel cage in which he himself would have been locked save for Judge Trieber's clemency.
