"The Wayne county jail is a school

Jor crime," said the Rev. Clarence M.

Case, jail chaplain, to the; Palladium, when speaking of jail conditions and things that should, be remedied. The Rev. Mr. Case was lamenting the fact

that Insane and epileptic prisoners had

to be confined in the jail with other prisoners, when their only sin is mental or other disorders. These men necessarily, by associating with men who in truth are criminahr, team many

things which they should not, and were

unaware of. before they were penned in the confines of the county jail for safe keeping, and then: thrown in close companionship with criminals. The Rev. Mr. Case iras been identified with the jail work for several months and has closely studied conditions which surround the jails of Richmond. Although there are many little things he would have changed for the benefit of the prisoners in the sanitary line, the chief evil which the "jail parson" is decidedly against, is the confinement of epileptics and Insane persons in the jail. Ho said: "The system of putting epileptics and

insane persons in jail ought to and must

be changed if right conditions are to

exist. There are seven of these people in the county jail at the present

time, which is very . bad. . Some of these are sick men and ought to be nursed and given proper nourishment.

Under existing circumstances, there being no reimbursement for the sheriff for this extra care of the prisoners.

WAS A FIRM ADVOCATE. OF ROAD IMPROVEMENTS THE FUNERAL WILL BE HELD ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. . . , .

George W. Callaway, an aged citizen and business man of Milton, one of the best known men of western Wayne county, died about nine-thirty o'clock this morning, after a comparatively short illness. Mr. Callaway was seventy-three years of age. His entire life has been spent in Wayne county, having been born in 1834. He was prominently identified with affairs in western Wayne county after he had gained his majority. For twenty-six years he was a druggist at Milton and did a flourishing business. Previous to that time

he taught school in the public schools of Bentonville, Milton and Cambridge

City.

Mr. Callaway became well known to Richmond people during his tenure of office as county commissioner, a position which he held for six years. During that time he gained the reputation of giving the square deal in all transactions. His greatest attention, however was given to the improvement of the roads in the county. He was a firm believer that good roads are the mediums by which the county

"I am guilty of the crime and will go back with you and face the music," he quietly remarked to ChicC Bailey. Doubt Age Story. On account of the checkered career of Carter, the police are inclined to doubt Carter's statement that he is only nineteen years of age. The police have' learned that some two or three years ago. Carter was convicted of a charge of theft and sent to the Ohio Reform school at Lancaster. Over a year ago Carter was paroled. Chief Bailey states that while at Reading he was informed that the yeutvg man bad stolen f .!) from Mir

grandmother. This theft was committed ,so Ch-isf Bailey was informed, about two months ago. After securing the money Carter disappeared from.) Reading, and judging from some notes found in a note book. Carter carried at the time of his arrest, he must have gone at once to Chicago. These notes show that Carter enlisted in the Seventh Infantry, Illinois National guard. It has been reported that Carter was a deserter from the regular army, but the police think thia report started from the fact that ho had enlisted in the Illinois national; guard. One memorandum states that, he enlisted May 22. Uo7, and that his. term of enlistment would not expire. until May 22, 151. The memorandum makes it an assured fact that Carter is a deserter from the Illinois service. Carter enlisted In the Illinois regiment under the name of J. E. DeLain. .
