Hyde in a building separate from the cell houses of the Tombs and equipped with a bath and a epectal cot and other conveniences as “close confinement.” The Grand Jury has learned, too, that Hyde has been allowed to see visitors | outside of prescribed hours and on days when other prisoners are not al- lowed to see callers, When the Grand Jury visited Hyde's | quarters on Friday, it became known | to-day, Commissioner of Charitios Michael J.
