Sinclair, multimillionaire prisoner at the District of Columbia jail, went back to his general handy man activities today, safe from the curious who would see proof a rich man is human after all. George S. Wilson, director of public welfare, issued an order Tuesday night barring the public in general and newspaper reporters in particular from the institution during the remainder of Sinclair's ninety-day term for contempt of the senate. Details of Sinclair’s activities were supplied by prison officials and prisoners working in the front office. He was assigned Tuesday to special duty as the jail pharmacist and assistant to Dr. Morris Hyman, jail physician. and MiSs Kathleen Wright, nurse. He immediately | was set to work assisting with a ; minor operation and compounding ; capsules for the treatment of colds. Sinclair studied pharmacy at the I University of Kansas and worked as a drug clerk before he became interested in oil enterprises which made him wealthy and powerful and involved him eventually in the Teapot Dome case, from which his prison sentence resulted. Sinclair works in the jail dispensary from 8 a. m. until 4 p. m. His rising hour is 7 a. m. and lights are out at 9 p. m. Officials announced Sinclair would serve his entire term at the district jail instead of being moved, as most prisoners serving more than a, month are, to the workhouse at Occaquan, Va., Deer Found in Barn Yard Ru Times Special ANDERSON.
