PRISONERS DEFEND COND UCJ OF JAIL Write Letter Saying Sheriff Snider Does All He Can, but Term Structure 'a Joke,

Complaints of treatment at the county Jail t,> Judge Anderson by colored prisoners from Evansville Wednesday, which resulted in the judge's asking Sheriff George Snider about overcrowding, has caused eleven colored boarders at the county bastile to rise in defense of Snider. On scented stationery—scented wtlh disinfectant Sheriff Snider is forced to use so freely—the eleven have penned a letter to the public through the editor of The Times condemning the jail as a barn and a joke. The letter: In an issue of your most intelligent paper of Wednesday, Pec. 17, we notice a statement made by two prisoners. Charles Wood and William White, relative to the conditions here in the Marion County Jail. Not Health Kesort. We admit that this is a jail, and in coming here we who are fortunate enough to have any sense of reasoning realize this Is a place of punishment and not a health resort. We must admit the jail is overcrowded. but who is to blame? We are sure no one expects the sheriff to build new quarters for his pris-

Neither do they exiKvt him to take them out to his residence and entertain them, and since people continue to break the law they have to be detained, and it is up to the sheriff to -keep them, regardless of | the accomodation. In speaking of i the food, still reinember we are in ! Jail and not at the Cla'ypool. and cani not expect sirloin steaks and lamb chops. They do not have ala carte service here and no sane prisoner expects it. We do not have to work here. While the food may not always suit our tastes we still realize wo have disregarded the law of the Commonwealth and must suffer. No One Could I>o lietter Indianapolis is a great, beautiful, city and Indiana is a great State, but the Marlon County Jail is a joke, though it isn't the sheriff's fault. No j one could do any better under present conditions. Build a jail and destroy this barn and stop criticising the honorable men whom the citizens elect to office to conduct the affairs of the county. Your for advancement, George Wood, Robert Manhy.
