No such catastrophe had ever visit

cases administering the last rites of

the organization of relief committees.
Governor Morehead arrived and took

LAWS WORRY sAERIFFs.
Connecticut Sheriff Up Against Non
Handcuf Law.

Hartford, CT, Nov. 13.-Connecticut
sheriffs are in a quandary as TO trans
porting charges to the state prison at
Wethersfield, without violating a new
city ordinance which imposes penal
t. upon any person who takes anoth-
er handcuffed or shackled through the
city in any conveyance used by the
public.
AS only law officers are likely to have
handcrffed persons in tow the sher-
ifs fear their deputies will get into
trouble. The laws makes no provision
for giving prisoners ride in a pri-
vate conveyance to the state prison.
Sheriff Middlebrooks of Litchfiel coun-
ty consulted counsel who gave the
opinion that the ordinance is inopera-
tive against any officer. who has COM
m.tment papers in his possession when
having a prisoner in charge.
