Legal questions arise over prisoner transfer to reformatory
Indiana reformatory superintendent Whittaker seeks judicial guidance on two issues from Judge Hillary Houghton and Gov. J Frank Hanty. First, can receiving prisoners be interrogated while in custody, and second, can prisoners be moved from a county jail to the reformatory if the jail is unsafe but there is no risk of violence. Whittaker reports drunken prisoners arriving at Shoals and criticizes the sheriff for transporting them. He asks for construction of the law and notes that the inmates were under the influence when brought in.
