Two Prisoners in the County Jail Grow Fat and Defy Court
Two West Side men in the county jail are jailed not for crimes but by court order. James Gannon, confined since 1894, is held for contempt of court over a land deed condition tied to Margaret Gannon’s heirs. William Saul, detained after refusing to pay a 30 cent poor tax with a 1.12 penalty, was committed by the local collector. The cases center on a land dispute in which Gannon refused to execute a fee simple deed, prompting equity proceedings and a jail sentence for contempt.
