County Jail to Be Modernized With New Cell Tiers
Improvements approved by the State Board of Charities will modernize the Indiana county jail interior for better prisoner classification while keeping the exterior unchanged. Three new tiers with 18 to 19 cells, foldable cots, a bathroom, and a comprehensive plumbing overhaul are planned, plus a Bridge of Sighs linking the jail to the courthouse to reduce escapes and publicity. Eight girls form a Creekside baseball team with Mildred Dickey and May Warden among players, ages 14 to 17, in a key local matchup. Reported riots in St Louis claim about 100 deaths as martial law and National Guard patrol the city after a policeman and merchant were killed. A Cherryhill township resident killed two large blacksnakes robbing a songbird nest in an apple-tree orchard.
