COUNT DU BARRY JAILED
ON SPEEDING CHARGE
Seattle, Wash., Piano Man Declares Pinching Was
Result of Frame-Up.
George H. Du Barry, head of the Du Barry Piano
Co., Seattle, Wash., was arrested for speeding last
week and locked for 50 minutes in a cell in the city
jail. In an advertisement calling for witnesses of the
alleged speeding incident he charges a frame-up by
two motor policemen.
Count DuBarry was arrested when motorcycle
officers stopped him on First Avenue and told him
he was doing 35 miles an hour, and he refused to
put up bail for the offense. "This is an outrage; I'll
go to jail first," he declared. Trailing the traffic
officers DuBarry declared he was forced to travel 27
miles an hour to the police station.
The count was given time to repent behind bars.
But he didn't repent, and when his father, the elder
DuBarry, appeared with $50 bail money, it was only
with difficulty that the count could be persuaded to
leave. He was in jail from 12:50 p. m. until 1:40
p. ni. It was his second offense on a speeding charge.
Now sanitary conditions in the city jail, upon which
Seattle officials long have prided themselves,' were
hotly assailed Thursday by Count George DuBarry,
who declared that the jail is intolerably filthy. "The
place smelted of filth. The floor was littered with
debris and dirt, and reeked with a rank nausea," the
disgusted nobleman said.
Another advertisement in the Seattle newspapers
was headed "Jail Birds Wanted." It said:
"Will all your poor, unfortunate brothers who ever
spent time in a King County jail, who can honor-
ably testify as to the unsanitary, infamous, stenchy
slop pail cell in the city jail conditions, come to me,
the last of the DuBarrys, who comes to aid mankind
for the advancement of better sanitary conditions,
becoming to civilization of today?"
