‘SHERIFF KNEW OF JAIL GRAFT (Continued From Page One.) there the game started shortly after S o’clock in the morning and continued until 8 at night, being interrupted only for meals. Members of the board of county commissioners attended the court session today, out arrived after evidence pointing to the “county ring" was presented. Lewis George, president of the board of commissioners; Carlin Shank, Joseph G. Hayes and County Attorney Harry Hendrickson explained that the commissioners had no contract with the government for the keeping of prisoners. HOLD CONFERENCE WITH JUDGE ANDERSON. Thej - were called into the private chamber of Judge Anderson to cofvcr on matters pertaining to the jail when the court session ended. It was explained that a wire had been sent to the attorney general for information concerning the contract and the investigation was continued until an answer lias been received. In Ihe meantime it was indicated that the federal grand jury, which meets Tuesday, will investigate the jail scandal fully. In addition to his sensational testimony concerning “higher-ups,” Wilson, the former jailer, said that the sheriff had purchased a barrel of burned sugar which he fed to the prisoners. “Wholesale houses would not handle this sugar, but it was good for the jail because it was thick and could be diluted more than other brands." he said. The state board of charities again came in for a rap from Judge Anderson today. Frederick VanNuys, district attorney, submitted reports from the board showing that an Inspector Brown had made two visits to the jail and had reported conditions and food favorable, although admitting that a little more "variety" might be added to the menu. READS APPEAL TO GOV. GOODRICH. A letter written by Murray Davis, to Gov. .Goodrich telling of the deplorable jail conditions was also read. “I will ask you for the sake of human beings to visit the Marion county jail at 7 a. m., 1 p. m., or 5 p. rn., to see the condition of food here,” it read in part. "it is a shame before the Maker the way Sheriff Miller is feeding prisoners.” There was no record of any action having ever been taken by the governor concerning the letter. Mr. VanNuys also introduced a list of daily re;*orts of food 'ompiled at the Jail for the state board of charities which showed a continuous rotation of liver, frankfurters and hearts with no vege tables or fruits. Mr. Brown's report of Jail condition* included a statement to the effect that the letter class of prisoners report favorable treatment from the keepers. "What do*'* he mean, ‘better class’?” commented the court. "Have some of our high class people managed so get In Jail? "Perhaps he refers to the Jail guards." JUDGE QUOTES STATE LAW. Judge Anderson read extract* from the Indiana statutes concerning the duties of the state board of charities and it was brought out that they have failed to comply with the law. According to the statute* It is the duty of the board to make inspections, formulate and prescribe rules and regulations separating young prisoners from old and hardened criminals, and to make reports to the circuit court of various counties wherein discrepancies are found. The statutes also provide that the county commissioners shall inspect the Jail at least every three months and that the Judge of the circuit court shall send orders to the sheriff. Mr. Miller said he had received no such orders nnd also admlted that he had kept no report showing the number of days men had been confined and the cost of feeding them as required by low. "I don't understand what this *fate board of charities is for,” said Judge Anderson.

Their report shows that the food served in jail was unfit for humans to eat. even if It were properly cooked." "I do not see, in view of this report and the complaints made, why the state board did not know of these conditions mouths ago,” said Mr. VnnNuys. ASKS ABO IT ABSENCE OF BOARD MEMBERS. When the court asked why represents fives from the board had not appeared in court to defend themselves. Attorney Wlltale, representing Sheriff Miller, said they had not been sent for. “It is not up to the government to bring these people in if they have any defense to present." said Mr. VnnNuys. "We have challenged these people for the past three days in open court with malfeasance and lucnmpetency anti they ought to he here voluntarily." “They ought to break In.” said the court. At the close of the morning session Sheriff Miller was asked if he had any defense to present, and Attorney Wlltsie said ihat he did not care to do so, as his opinion the the matter would come before the grand Jury. Judge Anderson then offered a “few suggestions" ami demanded that Kd Morrow, Jailer, be fired immediately. “I do not believe that a Jail should be made a place of luxury," said the court, "but 1 do believe that inen sent there should be treated decently and given food that they can eat. “Neither do i believe that the sheriff has any right to charge the government for feeding men and then' make them work, although T feel that men confined in jail should do some work and would be better off if they did. O. K. TO SEARCH. IH T NOT ROB PACKAGES. “I don't mean for those prisoners to get the idea that, they are anything but prisoners and they shall be governed by certain rules at the Jail.” Attorney Wiltsle called attention to the practice of searching packages and said he did not, believe they should be permitted to enter •the Jail without being looked into. “I do not. believe that boxes should be permitted to go into jail without being searched, but packages should not lie opened and robbed,” the judge retorted. The condition of food served at the jail was greatly lmproced today, according to the testimony of prisoners anti also of ('. M. Mi Resell, deputy United States marshal, who was called to the stand. J din Nicholni. cook, said that additional supplies had been purehaspd today, including a sldenf beef, sugar, coffee, milk, potatoes and cabbage. Mr. Mikesell Informed the court that for dinner yesterday the men were given sparerlbs, imckbone, potatoes, tomatoes. bread and coffee an dthat the beans served during the day were well rooked and seasoned. PRISONERS SEND THANKS TO JUDGE. Prisoners at the jail were satisfied with the change in food and expressed their appreciation of better conditions in the following letter to Judge Anderson : “Dear Sir: We, federal prisoners, wish to thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and vye feel that you have assisted and encouraged ns to make every effort to be men instead of criminals, as the treatment, accorded us was fast driving us to desperation, and we wish to thank you In behalf of humanity. (Signed) “Federal Prisoners, Marion County Jail.” The federal investigation brought on a "strike" of prison cooks and waiters, It developed today. John NichoLii, cook, said he took the job at first so he could get something to eat, but that he quit this morning when the food served became fit to eat. It was also said that the waiters had quit work, but Judge Anderson gave In*

structions that they call off the “strike” today. COUNTS DEALS IN POKSR GAME. An accurate account of the poker funds was given to the court by Joseph Bedford, prisoner of Vincennes, who said be kept track of the game for an hour, during which time there were forty-five deals, ana $2.35 was collected In rakeoff, which brought an estimated average of $9.20 collected each day. It was also brought out that a man had paid $l5O to get a Job as cell boss at the jail and further evidence of cruelty was presented when it was said that an insane soldier confined in the Jail was tortured because he stood at I lie bars and made noise. It was said that two prison guards lighted papers and burned the prisoner's feet so he could not stand. Charlie Dallen said he had seen a-s many as nine men confined at once in the “black hole,” and that they were dragged out unconscious. He said Dr. .Mendenhall, the county doctor, was sent for to care for these men because the jailer did not want it to get in the papers. A repetition of stories concerning star vation and poor food at the jail marked the prisoners' testimony and graft charges were further substantiated. COMPARES MENU AT POORFARM. Frederick VanNuys, in speaking of food graft, cited the following menu served at the poorfarm at a cost of 25 cents per day per inmate: Breakfast —Oatinenl, sugar, butter, bread and coffee. Dinner—Parsnips, boiled beef, sweet corn, tomatoes, bread and water. Supper—Vegetable stew, meat, bread, water and pickled beets. Attorney YViltsle said that such a diet was too heavy for men confined in the Marion county jail, but the court demurred and said he could not see anything extremely weighty about It. The investigation was delayed today indefinitely pending word from the attorney general in regard to the jail contract. It is understood that other witnesses from the state will be called to present further testimony and that the whole sordid story will be related to the federal grand Jury. *BEANS AND RONES’ BILL HELD UP In face of the revelations concerning the quality of the food served to the prisoners in the Marion county Jail, Sheriff Robert F. Miller today asked the county commissioners to allow him sl,(•12.40 for boarding county prisoners trom Feb. 25 to March SO. The county commissioners failed to allow the claim at this time and continued the matter until a future session of the board. “We did not allow It," said Joseph Hayes, county commissioner. "That is, not today," said Carlin Bhsnk. another commissioner. “We may allow it some other day.” HAVE* SAYS HE “FAILS TO NDERSTAND." Commissioner Hayes called the commissioners' attention to the fact that he failed to understand certain notations on the sheriff’s report fdr feeding the prisoners. The report showed the number of meals said to have been served to each prisoner at the Jail from Feb. 25 to March 30. The sheriff is allowed (10 cents a dav for boarding each county prisoner. In view of the sensational charges In the federal court that Miller’s menu in no way exhausted the dally allotment of 60 cents a prisoner, the commissioners took under advisement Miller's board bill for the last thirty days. Heretofore the commissioners have al lowed the big board bills submitted to them without any question unless one was raised by Commissioner Hayes. The courthouse today was again in confusion over the dlsclusnre* in the fed era! court against Miller and his man agement of the county Jail. "BETTER SEE JUDGE," BRINGS QUICK ACTION. While the commissioners were discussing Miller's board bill. County Attorney Harry Hendrickson appeared and told President Lewis George that It had been suggested that the conimtShion'T go to the chamber* of Federal Judge Anderson and dincus# a plan for the commissioners making a coutract direct with the federal officials for feeding federal prisoners. Presldeut George adjusted his hat and started in the direction of the federal building. Carlin Shank didn't take time to comb his |iHlr, while Commissioner Joseph Hayes stopped in the middle of a row of figures to leave for the federal building.

Market Upset When Chicago Strike Ends CHICAGO, April 2. Because of the upset condition of the live stock market here today, due to the sudden resumption of activities following termination of the live stock handlers’ strike, it was impossible to obtain quotations reflecting the true status of the market. Holders of practically ajl classes of stock asked higher prices, but were met with resistance by the buyers, the packers claiming they had sufficient quantities of dressed meats en route to Clii <ngo to relieve them of the necessity of extensive buying. Neither cattle nor sheep showed any sharp advances. Hoge were higher, but the market was irregular. Estimated receipts were: Cattle, 3,500, hogs, 6,000; sheep. 9.000.
