GANG. Ifthe practice of working prisoners on the roads of the city is to be continued, justice andcommon sense demand that precautions be taken to insure against their escape. The existence of the chain gang has thus far resulted in more harm than good.” True, some work has been done, but-on the other hand, two ofits members have taken advantage of the golden opportunity it afforded to giveghe suthorities the slip, If we mistake not, the tax payers do not relish the idea of footing the bills contracted by Court procedures, ; when they know the nex: day. after an offender is convicted, a loop-hole for his takiug off will offer itself. No blame appears to attach t6 the overfairs, because it fs absurd to think that he ¢an put in a fotl day’s regular work, besides keeping an eye on the gang.I'here are thrée remedies for the troable, and one of them should be adopted without any des lay: either (1) place chains and bails on the mea, (2) pat.thent under a capable overseer who will hate nothing to do but guard take them off the road altogether.

GANG. Ifthe practice of working prisoners on the roads of the city is to be continued, justice andcommon sense demand that precautions be taken to insure against their escape. The existence of the chain gang has thus far resulted in more harm than good.” True, some work has been done, but-on the other hand, two ofits members have taken advantage of the golden opportunity it afforded to giveghe suthorities the slip, If we mistake not, the tax payers do not relish the idea of footing the bills contracted by Court procedures, ; when they know the nex: day. after an offender is convicted, a loop-hole for his takiug off will offer itself. No blame appears to attach t6 the overfairs, because it fs absurd to think that he ¢an put in a fotl day’s regular work, besides keeping an eye on the gang.I'here are thrée remedies for the troable, and one of them should be adopted without any des lay: either (1) place chains and bails on the mea, (2) pat.thent under a capable overseer who will hate nothing to do but guard take them off the road altogether.
