Impossible to Lock Prisoners
Due to Poor Sanitation,
Says Ingram

CLARENDON, Va, Sept. s.--Dis-
GUESSING the Jail delivery of yester-
day, William ]. Ingram, supervisor
from Arlington district, last night

now it is impossible to lock the
prisoners in their cells due to the
unsanitary conditions, he said.

says, Is to build a new jail, and if
the citizens will only make a few
investigations the jail will be built,

for a new institution.
