A Suspicious Character Taken
in With !An Sorts of
Documentary and Other
Evidence

Yesterday evening Customs
Inspector Harry Smart picked
up suspicious character named
John Farley, who was taken to
Special Agent Van H. Curtis Of
the Department of Justice.
Upon searching the individual
and questioning him Mr.. Curtis
realized that he had run upon
a mine of information. and he
lodged him in the cohnty Jail
pending further Investigation.
The man had in his pos
session a lot newspaper clip
pings, jewelry, clothing. and
money. Inside of the lining of
his trousers was ,sewed the sum
lef SIG in bills. He carried a
roll of blankets rolled inside
some underwear, a can of pork
and beans, etc. He had also q
lot of newspaper clippings, let
ters, etc., that established his
connection with the /. w. w.
fast enough. The following
from. newspaper published in
Salinas, California, in November
last gave an accurate account
| Of him:
.:"Constable Cano of Pajaro,

had no draft registration card,
but claims he had one in Ore
gon. His pockets were full of

a diary that shows he spent a

In Jail.
Another bit of paper in his
possession was stamped, with a
rubber stamp: II. w. w. Re-

But the gem of the collection
was a letter written in a
feminine hand. 1t is repro
duced in the lines following:

AL READY TO EHlD That NEW Ml
County Board Of Commissioners IL
Asking for Bids on Proposed
New Structure.
New County Building WIN be Most
Modern Of Kind In Entire South
west, and One Of largest.

The board Of county commission
ers is calling this week for bids on
the masonry construction Of the new
jail building for which bonds were
voted last summer. The call speci-
flies that the successful bidder must
complete his contract within three
months time from the signing Of the
contract or forfeit an amount equal
to ten per cent Of his bid. No bids
are to be received after March Sth.
The bond issue voted to cover the
expense Of building the new jail was
$4,000, and the money from the sale
thereof is already assured. the Chi
cago concern that is handling their
sale having notified the board some
DAYS ago that the bonds had been ac-
cepted for purchase.
The new jail is to be model in
construction, arrangement, equip
ment and sanitation and on these
points will be in a class by itself
in the state Of New Mexico, or the
whole southwest. for that matter
The architects, Braunton and iLiebert.
of III Paso, were in conference re-
peatedly with County Sanitary Off
Ger Steed, Sheriff Simpson and
Commissioner Nordhaus. Lewis and
Phillips, and the ideas of all are in
corporated in the plans finally adopt
ed for the building, each trying to
make il absolutely ideal from his
own standpoint. The result will BE-
a Jail that will give the other coun-
ties in New Mexico a mark to shoot
NJ for some time to come.
The site chosen for the new build
ing is Just east Of the present court
house. which it will adiOin, a cor.
ridor connecting the two structures.
II is to be built Of brick and con
crete, the walls being entirely If
brick. 1t will be three stories in
height, and will all be above ground
except the heating plant. There
will be 20 concrete cells. capable Of
accommodating so prisoners, in ad-
dition to which there will be spe-
eial ward each for juvenile, female,
pauper and insane inmates. not to
speak Of a modern hospital for the
care Of sick prisoners, making a total
capacity Of well over a hundred. The
standing room only" capacity Of
the present jail is about 30. The
building will also contain a kitchen,
laundry, office and sleeping rooms
for the sheriff and sleeping quarters
for the taller. An idea from the
most modern of large city iails is
adopted in a special compartment for
the interviewing of prisoners, in
which strict privacy is provided, but
the prisoner is separated from his
interviewer by iron bars.
II is not likely that the capacity
Of the new jail will be taxed at any
time soon, in the natural course Of
events, but the county will now he
ready for any emergency, and is
fixed for normal conditions for many
years to come. The new jail bids
fair TO be an institution Of which
both county and city can be proud
and is distinct forward step in our
civic improvements.
