Out of 1871 working telephones

Thaw BIO transferred to the county jail
Justice Hendrick said:
"He is not a criminal and is not con-
fined for punishment, but to guard the

question is, How can this best be done
to safeguard the public without pun
ishing Thaw? There is no desire on
the part Of the state 20 punish Thaw."
The justice added that after a con-
sultation with Sheriff Grifenhagen,
who said that it was safe place for
the custody OF the prisoner and that
he could have proper exercise there, the
court ordered the change, placing
Thaw in the custody of the Sheriff
Thaw, however, will not be permitted
20 be taken out of the prison for exer-
else. Thaw was pleased when Under
