The latter, however, frightened down
and was disposing of Clarke, the Fire

straight strikes when one of his fast
ones slipped past Catcher Hoffman, and
the alert Burdine galloped across with
his teams first run. This might have
upset some hurlers, but not Watt, who
permitted himself one shrug of annoy

JUVENILE JAIL
IS ASSAILED BY
GRAND JURORS
Detention Home 'Dreary
and Depressing Reports
Probe Group.

Minors should not be in Jail, but

Jail"
This indictment of the Marion
county detention home, 225 East
Michigan street, was voiced in GRIM
inal court today by retiring grand
jurors in their reports Of institu-
ton inspections to Judge Frank P.
Baker.
The jurors report launched into
scathing criticism of the detention
home, and also attacked conditions
at the poor farm.
Both institutions have been under
fire for several years, charges being
made that they were unfit Tor per-
sons committed to them.
"The detention home is in deplor-
able condition." the report stated.
"The rent is beyond reason. The
building generally is dilapidated,
dark, dangerous, and poorly lighted
and ventilated. There is no out
door recreation space.
Detention Home Depressing
Unfortunate minors are housed
in this building. We do not believe
dail is the proper place for minors,
but the present detention home is
much more depressing, dreary and
unsuitable than the county jail"
The present site of the detention
home was obtained several years
ago when a former location was
abandoned because it was poten-
tial fire trap.
The lease on the Michigan street
structure expired Friday, but county
officials today said they are seek
ing a more suitable location. Wom-
ems organizations recently appealed
to county commissioners Tor new
location for the institution, stress
ing the need of recreational GROUNDS.
The jury said two visits were madc
to the county poor farm and It was
believed the new building will re-
lieve crowded conditions.
Jurors Thanked by Baker
Jurors attacked ventilating and
lighting conditions and said there
were not sufficient recreational IA
cilities for inmates.
1.-The food at the poor farm is
such as to permit the inmates to
subsist," the report read. With the
low price of food and vegetables,
there should be a marked improve
ment in the food in the next few
months"
Other institutions Of the county
were given a clean bill of health by
the jurors.
Jurors were thanked by Baker for
their work. The quiz group returned
indictments against 258 persons
during the six-month term. No
bills and defendants discharged
totaled 1853.
Largest number of indictments
were on the following law viola
tions: Burglary, 81; vehicle taking,
80, and robbery, 81.
