12 MI BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1936 ABRAHAM FULTOS ST. ot HOYT Jurors Renew Drive to Raze Raymond Jail Crime Breeding Place, Trumpler Says Hits Cily Economy Plea and bothBorough President Ingersoll and Commissioner MacCormick have given me to understand they are aware of the gravity of the situation. The greatest benefit to be derived from a new Jail will be its contribution to the solution of our crime problem which is costing the country more than relief work. Brooklyn is not playing its part in this emergency. "The old prison breeds crime and criminals and contaminates Kings County," he said.

The Grand Jurors Association, he said, together with any other civic organizations interested in obtaining a new prison, will keep the issue alive until public budget hearings are held. At that time these organizations will present their facts to the body. askable Clnirc-dc-Lunc Debunker Assured Of Meeting Ghost Mrs. Elizabeth OUare, who calls herself Elizabeth the Transcriber and runs the Universal Church of the Spirit, 1230 79th St, has assured him that she will change her mind again and this evening at a seance in Brooklyn at a spot kept secret to avoid crowds, will produce a real ghost, Joseph Dunninger, the magician debunker, announced today. Yesterday Mrs.

OUare had announced that she had canceled the seance scheduled for Monday evening, because of the publicity given it. "Mrs. O'Hare says that 25,000 persons in this country are psychic enough to see her sipirits, and she thinks I am one of them," Dunninger declared. "Well, we will see."

It Is a disgrace to Brooklyn." The Grand Jurors Association took up the fight for the new prison because of the scant attention paid to the monthly presentments handed up by the grand juries whose duties It is to visit the jail, he said. "Every month grand juries inspect the jail and with monotonous regularity file a presentment condemning the Jail and demanding its demolition. The grand Juries disband and their recommendations are ignored. Therefore there falls to the Kings County Grand Jurors Association the obligation to carry on the work and urge action on the part of indifferent city officials." A Menace to -Iralth Borough President Ingersoll has expressed his desire to aid in obtaining funds for the new prison, but has always been prevented from acquiring them by other pressing demands which the city fathers felt should be met first, he said. "The 70 percent of the Inmates who are legally innocent of any criminal offense are regularly let loose on the streets of Brooklyn with health and morals impared as a result of their confinement.

"The average age of the inmates of the jail is 19 years. Many of them are only 16 and 17 years old. They are school boys kids who are to be used as material witnesses; some of them are minor members of important gangs held for months to testify while the crooks at the head of the ring are stalling the courts by obtaining adjournment after adjournment," he said. "We waste a dozen years of money and effort to give these boys a public school education and then undo the work in a few months in this delapidated and unsanitary prison. Many prisoners are sent direct from the prison to our county hospital, for there are no hospital accommodations at Raymond Street.

"'Yumpler. president of the Kings County Grand Jurors Association, said today he would renew his efforts for funds to replace the old Jail at Ashland Place and Willough-by St. "As a breeding place for crime and disease, the Raymond Street Jail nullifies the work of our schools and swells the demand for accommodations in public hospitals," he said.

"Such a parsimonious attitude is unwise and uneconomic and is the same old excuse we have been hearing for years. It is penny-wise and pound foolish." Mr. Trumpler's criticism of the Jail is similar to other attacks made by various civic groups and committees who have investigated conditions in the jail over a two-year period. Needs Replacement Corrections Commissioner Austin H. MacCormick recently' referred to the prison as "Brooklyn's Tombs" and stated it was the prison "most heeding replacement."
