the West Side prison. In their letter 20
Judge Mulqueen the complainants said
the place abounded in vermin and the
food was bad. They asserted they were
compelled to pay for ordinary. comforts
and IL they complained they were
called stool pigeons" and rats
Burdette G.. Lewis, Commissioner OF
Correction, suggested using two floors
Of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany's extension building, at Lafayette
and Leonard Streets, as temporary
quarters.
Regardless Of where they are
housed" said Judge Mulqueen. they
are the city's guests. and if conditions
