The picture was put on under the

POLICE MATRON
IGNORES ORDER
Attorneys and Bondsmen Find
Way to See Prisoners.

Some weeks ago Chief of Police Jerry
Kinney issued an order to the turnkeys
and matrons at police headquarters
which professional bondamen and attor-
neys call the CLOSED door policy"
This order is being openly ignored this
month during the daytime in the ma
irons office, for the doors can almost
always be found unlocked during the
mornings.
The order was issued by the chief to
prevent soliciting by bondsmen and at
torneys from persons arrested.
The order has done much to stop the
soliciting. and attorneys and bondsmen
are only permitted to interview prisoners
when the prisoners send for them.
To enforce this order Chief Of Police
Kinney required that the doors leading
to the turkeys and matron's office be
kept locked and persons be admitted by
the turnkeys and matrons only when
they could show that they had business
in the Offices.
This order even extended to police
and newspaper men who either knocked
at the door or pressed the button sound
ing the buzzer to gain admittance.
The CLOSED door policy" has been en-
forced by the turnkeys at all times
Recently, however, Lillian NJ. Jaschka,
matron, has often been In the courtroom
and in the hallway of the city clerk $
Office, and at such times persons who
wished to enter the matron's office were
not blocked by locked doors.
When told OF the open door" policy
in the matron's Office Chief Kinney said
his former order had not been reversed
and seemed surprised to learn that the
doors in the matron's Office were not
kept locked as is done in the turnkey s
Office.
Matron Jaschka was formerly a matron
at the Marion county jail in the days
when George Coffin was sheriff.
