the building was erected when topeka
was a town of about 5000, and that II
now is inadequate, unsanitary, ana IN
fact worse than any prison he ever mas
seen or even read about.

peka Jail following an escapade In
which he masqueraded as woman
and after he had been accused OF pass
ing bogus checks on Topeka business
men. The interview, as published IN
