Speeches were made on the porch

but to allow the law to take its
course.
Fear Of lynching. however. has not
subsided and the Jail tonight is guard

They were ordered to this duty by
Gov. Harrington with the consent of
the residents of Easton.

DR.. Louis F. Zinkhan was sum-
marily removed by the District
Commissioners last night from his
position as superintendent OF the
Washington asylum and Jail
The action followed the admis-
sion by Superintendent Zinkhan
that Deputy Superintendent J. c.
Howard. on last Sunday night, had
escorted a prisoner under indict-
ment for first degree murder to an
Easter party and dance.
Remain Four Hours.
Howard and the prisoner, An
tonic di Bendetto. accused of kill
ing his father-in-law. remained at
the party for four hours and re-
turned to the Jail at 10 p. m.
Superintendent Zinkhan, according
to Commissioner Brownlow. admit
ted he knew they proposed to at
tend the festivities and interposed
no objection.
1t was late Saturday night or
carly Sunday morning that Herbert
l. Copeland. a coIored man awaiting
trial for the murder of three police
men. escaped from his cell and is
now at liberty.
Deputy Howard and guards s. e.
Garrett and ]. A. Haas, who have
been under suspension since the es-
cape, were discharged with DR..

moval in addition to his other
duties. He will be in direct super
vision of the Jail, while his two as
sistants, w. Z. Hall and NJ. NJ. Bar
nard, will have active charge of the
workhouse and the reformatory, re-
spectively.
Howard, it was disclosed. agreed to
escort the prisoner to the dance and
reunion after Bendetto's brother had
pictured in glowing terms the good
time that had been arranged.
The party needed Bendetto. the
prisoner. to make the joy complete.
according to the story told the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Prisoner Escapes.
The drastic action of the commits
sioners was taken after a consulta-
tion with the Board of Charities,
which supervises the Districts penal
institutions. with regard to the Iaxity
in discipline displayed at the WASH
ington Asylum and jail
The escape Of Herbert L. Copeland
last Monday, who was charged with
the murder of three policemen, and
for which the two guards were sus-
pended. was given as the reason for
discharging Hall and Barnard.
DR.. Zinkhan has been connected
with the Washington Asylum and
Jail since 1904. and heretofore has had
clear and unimpeachable record.
Prior to his installment here as
