Prisoner ends jail term amid praise for officials and no belief in afterlife
The man detained since December 20 and held since April 22 praised Sheriff Joan Little, Under Sheriff G. L. Mosher, Turnkey Robert Jones, and guard Edward T. Williams for their constant watch. He behaved well in jail, avoided tobacco, and spent time with fellow prisoners, playing cards and admiring flowers sent by local ladies. His family visits are limited, and he rejects religious devotion, voicing doubt about any hereafter.
