¦'Awful," He Says—Willing to Help With Investigation
ForiiK-r :-^heriff i'iiarles T. D.-.Mott. when inlerviewi d in rehitien to the astounding disclosures of revelry ;ind misconduct with women juisoners on tlie part of liis Kiibordinates in tlie county jail, expiessed considerable surprise, and said he did not believe that such things could have happened in the jail.
"If the accusations aie triif," said he, "il is a disgrace to Nassau County. It Ib simply a-«-ful and the !UithorltIes cannot go too far with their Investi¬ gations. I am willing to help them."
DeMott said it seemed incredible that the orgies complained of could have happened wlthoui ihe icnowledge of Warden Winlield Box who had charge of the jail. lie ridiculed a statement accredited to Box that he was not at the jail at night. It seem¬ ed incredible to him, Mr. DeMott said, Ihat Box was not at the jail except in the day time. He said that he could not understand why the women who
make the accusations did not com-
I plain to him at the jail. :
Concerning a complaint made by ,tin | Italian girl that she had been subject¬ ed to relationship of an Improper character while at the jail, the ex- Sheriff said he had investigated the charge but was unable to obtain suf¬ ficient corroboration to sustain the complaint.
