Held Prisoners Years lllegally.
Discovery has been made of the
plight of four penitentiary prisoners
in Columbus, Ohio, who, because they
were insane and were transferred {rom
the state prison to the hospital, have
been unlawfully held for years.
John H. Whaler, sent to the peni-'
tentiary in 1874, has been confined for
thirty-three years after his term ex-
pired. L. B. Chidester, a forger, re-
celved in 1878, should have been re-
leased in 1884. Jerry
tenced for arson, has been detained
twenty-four years. Charles Willis
should have been released twenty-

sonal property tax to the city of New
York.
