attention to the Republican administers
ton of Marion County last spring.

On Aug. %. 1919. there was published
in the Indiana Daily Times a letter
signed by a number OF jail prioners set
ting out their complaint as to the food
served at the Marion County jail and de-
caring that they were starving.
The letter was brought to the atten-
ton Of Sheriff Robert Miller. who re-
fused to conduct an investigation of its
truth.
No investigation was conducted by the
Criminal Court, the county prosecutor
or the Marion County grand Jury.
On March 30. 1920, Judge Anderson of
the Federal Court began an Investigate
Of the conditions existing in the Marion
County jail. The investigation continued
for several days and revealed:
!. That a poker game was main
tained in the Jail and prisoners In
duced to play while guards took a
"ra keon from every pot.
2 That decomposed meat was
served and the food was insufficient
to sustain life.
B. That prisoners were permitted
to leave the Jail for visits to their
homes and paid jailers for that
privilege.

The sheriff is responsible for the
management of the Jail and he had
ample opportunity to know OF con-

After a statement was made by Fred
erick Van Nuys, district attorney, to the
effect that Sheriff Miller had made $500
a month out OF feeding allowance for jail
prisoners, Judge Anderson said
This man has no right TO take any
Of this money
That Is just plain robbery.

To e. NJ. WASMUTH. Chairman;
y. Z. sCHORTEMEIER. Secretary.
Gentlemen--Your statement rela-
tive to SANDERS of candidates and
your fear that your candidates will
be slandered in the last days of
this campaign are wholly unneces-
sary.
The law protects your candidates.
The abundance of truth that can
be told to their disadvantage re-
moves any incentive for libel.
The fact that you have failed to
place any evidence of Iibelous CON
duct before any proper authorl-
ties for action under the statutes of
Indiana bellies your assertion that
"slanderous stories are being cifcu-
lated with reference to Republican
candidates."
II libel is committed in this cam
)aign. prosecute the responsible par
ties.
This isn't poker game and
neither you can get away with a
bluff.
