2. ““On remand, the district court should consider, among other questions whether (a) Marshal Rowland knew or should have known in the exercise of due care of Brabham’s reputation and (b) whether the conduct of Jailer Beatson, who made the telephone contact with Brabham and who seemingly knew or should have known of Brabham’s perversion, can be imputed to the United States in view of the contract providing for the keeping of fed eral prisoners in the Sumter County Jail. Depending upon his ultimate findings of fact, we think the trial judge should consider whether or not the marshal exercised less than ordinary care when he failed to make perfectly clear to the probationer the choices that were properly open to him under the order of the court— spending the night in jail, telephoning his parents or other friends in Loris to come for him, or renting a hotel room for the night at the government’s expense. Certainly if Jailer Beatson is found to be an agent of the United States and if it is further found that he knew of Brabham’s reputation, it would seem to follow that due care required him to warn Rogers of the danger of accompanying Brabham.””
