REPORT OF THE PHYSICIAN.

HOSPITAL DEPARTMENT, U. S. JAIL,

Washington, November 1, 1894.

SIR: I have to report that during the past year there have been 3 deaths in the jail-1 from consumption, 1 from pneumonia, and 1 in consequence of a severe injury, the latter being due to an accident.

The consumption and the pneumonia were developed in the prisoners prior to their entrance to the jail.

During the months of September and October a large number of the prisoners and several of the officers of the jail have suffered severely with the malarial fever, due, in my opinion, to the close proximity of the jail to the marshes of the Eastern Branch of the Potomac River. The cases yielded readily to treatment.

Apart from those prisoners whose previous lives have been of such a character as to induce disease in any location, and apart from the cases above referred to, the health of the prisoners has been remarkably good. Several minor operations have been performed upon a few prisoners, to their entire satisfaction.

On several occasions the bread, meat, and fish furnished the jail were found to be of such inferior quality that it was necessary to condemn them. Since then the food furnished the prisoners by the contractors has been entirely satisfactory.

I desire especially to mention the fact that the close proximity of the contagious diseases hospital to the jail is a constant source of danger to the large number of inmates-officers and prisoners-who are daily in the jail.

During the present prevalence of smallpox in the city and at the contagious diseases hospital, we have taken every precaution to prevent the disease getting among the officers or prisoners of the jail. All the officers and prisoners have been vaccinated, and all prisoners coming to the jail every day are immediately vaccinated. There is, no case of smallpox in the jail, nor has any case occurred here during the past year. As a further precaution against the possible entrance of smallpox into the jail, during the presence of the disease in the city the friends of the prisoners are prohibited from visiting them.

Yours, respectfully,

D. K. SHUTE, M. D.,

EXHIBIT O.-Report of the Architect of the Capitol.

ARCHITECT'S OFFICE, U. S. CAPITOL,
Washington, D. C., November 15, 1894.

SIR: Relative to the improvements and repairs made at the courthouse, Washington, D. C., during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, I have the honor to report as follows:

Rooms have been fitted up, in the upper story of the west wing for the court of appeals and its offices. Also rooms in the principal story of the same wing for the equity court, No. 2, and for the attorney's reception room. For the criminal court, No. 1, an additional steam coil has been supplied, with air ducts running to judge's desk.

Inside sashes for winter use have been placed in the windows on the north side, and witness and jury boxes have been placed in two of the court rooms. The brick floor of the room in the basement story, used by attorneys, has been taken out and one of wood substituted.

Owing to the dangerous condition of the old ceiling of the recess at the main portico, it was removed and a new ceiling put in its place. Additional lockers and shelving have been furnished to rooms connected with the marshal's office. The heating apparatus and its machinery, together with the plumbing, have been kept in repair. Extensive repairs have been made to the tin roof, and its northern portion repainted. The interior of the building has been kept in good repair. The exterior of the old building is in a dilapidated condition, owing to the disintegration of the sandstone cornice; and, in consequence, I again recommend that the same be repaired, and the entire walls of the exterior of this portion of the building be painted. I have the honor to be, very respectfully,

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

EDWARD CLARK, Architect, U. S. Capitol.

It will be seen from the table annexed hereto that a statement is made showing the district in which the convicts were tried, when they were convicted, their offense, when pardoned, or when sentence was commuted, and the action of the President, with the reasons therefor. During the fiscal year the number of applications filed was 516.

physician and superintendent of the prison
where the convict. is confined that he is
sick with consumption, in the last stage,
and has not long to live.

Sentence commuted to imprisonment for life.
The application for commutation in this
case is made by the district attorney who
prosecuted the convicts, and is earnestly
seconded by the judge who tried and sen-
tenced them. The application is based
upon the fact that capital punishment was
abolished in Wisconsin, the State where
the trial took place, many years ago, and
that public sentiment there is much op-
posed to its infliction. I am not certain
that such considerations should control in
this application, but have concluded to
follow the advice of the officers of the court
in the matter.

Aug. 9, 1893 Granted. Those connected with the pro se
cution of this convict seem to unite in
advocating his pardon, and there appears
to be great doubt as to the guilty intent
which is a necessary factor of the crime of
which he pleaded guilty. The term of
imprisonment for which the convict was
sentenced has nearly expired, and I am
satisfied the ends of justice will be fully
answered by the granting of this pardon.
Granted. The term of imprisonment in this
case having expired, this pardon is granted
for the purpose of restoring the defendant
to his rights.of citizenship.
