Attention of the city fathers has been more than once called to this abominable pest house. If it were desired to cultivate disease, no better place for the purpose could be established. For the sake of the community, for the sake of those whose business is there, for the sake of the poor wretches whose misdeeds carry them there, let something be done to cleanse the place of filth and corruption. 3249 L Feb. 8:3/2 Captain George F. Davenport has been confined in the county jail on a charge of forging checks. He made an escape through a daring maneuver. He was captured and brought back last night by Constable Whitney, and returned to his cell. 3250 L Feb. 12:3/3 In a letter to the editor, George F. Davenport says: "I should be glad if you would state through the medium of your column that my escape from jail last week was a chance entirely of my own. I took Gordon's hat and spectacles, unknown to him, and he is in no way responsible for my escape.... Had I known my escape would have affected Gordon's reputation as it has, or tended to injure the custodian of the prison, I would not have attempted it but liberty is sweet, and for the sake of my innocent and destitute family, I resolved to try to obtain once more that honest employment, by which I had always hitherto honorably supported them." 3251 L Mar. 11:3/1 Sheriff Craw conducted the following criminals 3252 L Mar. 22; ed: 2/1 The special committee of the city council of Cincinnati, appointed to investigate the propriety of purchasing the old (2) (1) (5) (5) (8) (2) CLEVELAND NEWSPAPER DIGEST JAN. 1 TO DEC. 31, 1862 Abstracts 3253 - 3259 PENAL & CORRECTIVE INSTITUTIONS (Cont'd) jail property, visited that establishment yesterday to examine its value.

As you pass among the prisoners in the hall, you see faces scowling at you that you wouldn't like to encounter in a lonely street at a late hour of the night. Passing along the hall which surrounds the cells, the sheriff may point out a hole in the northwest corner of the roof, and tell you the fatal rope descended through it by which a murderer was hung.
