Order for Jail Warden to Extend Prisoner Detentions
Justice Gould of the District of Columbia Supreme Court received a draft order authorizing Warden Harris to detain prisoners beyond their sentences at the United States jail until the District health officer declares the smallpox danger has ended. The measure, likely signed by three justices, states detainees exposed to smallpox who would threaten public health may not leave jail without written permit or health officer certification. The order remains until further court action. No change was noted in the smallpox situation at the District jail yesterday.
