NO ADMITTANCE
Hard to get in prison. The following is a cutting taken from a San'Francisco morning paper, exactly as it appeared: “It’s getting so a young fellow has to fight for his rights in this town. It takes a pull to get into gaol. “George Bollotti, 19, of 346 Filbert Street, was found guilty of speeding the other day and Police Judge Lile T. Jacks invited him to spend 10 hours as a guest of the municipality in the city prison. No one appeared as an escort and Bollotti went home. “Wednesday night he remembered the date and appeared at the city
prison with his pyjamas and toothbrush. He demanded room and breakfast, but got only a stony stare. He applied at the county gaol with similar results. -nen he returned to the city bastille, still demanding his rights. “You get out of here,” ordered the night gaoler, ‘or I’ll lock you up.’ “Bollotti sat on the steps of the Hall of Justice until Judge Jacks arrived to hear his protest. “I have a little influence with the gaoler,” said the Judge, “and I will see what I can do.” Bailiff Mansfield Joy introduced Bollotti to the gaoler and accommodations were provided.
