No Newspapers for Inmates

“A Mr. Hartman, an inmate of the County Infirmary, is authority for the statement that the inmates are not permitted, since the beginning of the campaign, to see the Times which is sent weekly to that institution. Mr. Hartman says that he has a right to freedom of speech and can not be bulldozed or threatened like other inmates. The public will sustain this gentleman.”1
