CONVICTS HRETORTURED !;',,:
A Deplorable Stato of Affairs
That Are Existing.
THEIR DEATH HASTENED.
They re Subject to an Ordeal That
Usually Ends In the. Death of
Weaker of the Convicts
-The Tebtlmony.
The affaia which particularly in- ,
vited attention was tin- death of j
convict Frank Powell, No. -."-. who
was said to have commuted sui
cide by hanging himself in his
cell. Tlio report of the committee
charges that Powell' death was
the direct ol punishment inllicted
by the cell house Keeper and
guards.
During its investigation the coin
jkmittee timk an iinmence amount of
',estiiiiony, examing a great mini-
Uerof witnesses, including the oili
er of Ihe penitentiary, slate olli
cers, prison guards, prison misson
aries, convicts and cx-eouvicts. In
the several hundred pages of type
written testimony is contained a
story of cruelty and inhumanly
brutal treatmeui accorded to help
lens prisoners, the details of which
would cause a smile of approval to
illumine the lace of any ot fhoni.is
le Torqueiilada's lieutenants were
he spared from his eternal rest
long enough lo peruse it. The Ucc
has had an opportunity to review
tliis testimoy, and from it has con
densed the billowing as being the
evilentof reliable witnesses and
fairly presented both sides.
Anions the responses of FJder
Howe, chaplain at the penitentiary,
to the questions asked him about
tliii treatment of convicts, were the
following:
"Aliont eieht ears ago I was
called by the warden, Mr. Nooes, to
iro to the dark hole one Sunday
- - - '
i morning alter service. He said
1 .1.... i... i, ...i ., in iiiti that he
If liicil lie im.i fi
didnot want to have slay there
after noon as he would lose all of
his good time. He was sent in for
ten years and went in the dark hole
on Saturday. He came to the peni
tentiary ond would not answer any
questions and he was put in the
dark hole. We went down. The
man wan lying down with a small
rope about his neck, and his hands
were handcuffed behind him and
the other end of the rope was fast
ened to them, and he had gotten in
a corner of the room and had slid
down so that he could not get back
and was obliged to remain where
he wan lying. Tha t was a mode of
punishmont that to nie was barbar
mis. u i clic of barbarism. He hail
b 'en in twenty-three hours and was
very much exhausted.
"Your hands are handcuffed, and
tliis rope was tied on and your
hands are drawn up just as far as
the m an that puts it on wishes to do
itjifjieis mad he will draw them
up this way, and then it is all the
time drawing you, and every time
you move your hands it will saw
them. There is nothing between
your skin and this rope. "
Other information elicited from
the chaplain was to the effect that
the wardm order ?d the punishment
in cases of this kind, and he could
deputise somebody else to do it.
The warden does not put on the
rope or the handcuffs, as that is
done by the cellkeeper. 'I he warden
is not present, but goes occasion
ally afterwards to see how the man
is getting along, and the doctor
calls every day, or is supposed to.
The chaplain said he purposly
avoided knowing anything about
the punishments if he could help it
as he had enough care and anxiety
with the boys, and with all the load
and responsibility he carrkd did
not want to carry any of the respon
sibility of the warden or any of the
men. He knew of a case three or
four years ago, when a men was
punished twenty-two to twenty-four
days under Warden llyers. It was
a case of attempted mutiny, and
this was quite a large man, and the
leader of the inanity. Ihey were
getting poor meat to eat. and there
were forty or fifty of them in the
muting and the warden was very
angry about it and went down ami
ordered forty of them into punish
ment. They hadn't regular cells
enough and so they were hand
cuffed and kept in their cells for
several day?. The leader was kept
in there until Dr. Carter, who was
the physician, at that time, ordered
him released because he could not
stand that amount of punishment
with injuring him; niaby he would
be under punishment n day or two
and be released a short time, but in
allitwas twenty-four days of con
tinuous punishment.
He waa handcuffed all day and
night, and had this rope on him all
the time except when he ate. He
was let down after being there
twenty-three days und was then
put on eight days more, and came
ut of the cell a skeleton. He was
l stubborn man and would not l
1. The order of the physician
was sufficient to get him out at any
tune. Other cases ot cruelty were
very frequent.
"I know of one previous to that,"
he said, "under Mr. Nobcs, who was
kept in. I think.'ahoul ten days, lie
was a rather feeble mail, and when
he came out he was very feeble and j
toon went to the hospital, and was
there until he died. I think that
hastened his death, but otherwise
h" would have died, as be could not
h ive lived a great while.
This mode of punishment has
never changed ;.s long as 1
can remember. It is different under
different administrations, being
more severe under one than the
other. This is the cure for all dis
eases, and you can ottei) tell by the
neck if they have been '.u there for
some time.
"1 do not know anything about
Powell's case onlv what I have
heard. I buried him. It was an un
common thing, though; he was put
into the coffin and the coffin closed
up before 1 got there, which h is
never occurred before since 1 have
been chaplain, i think it was under
signed; a new deputy warden had
charge and he probably did not
know the .tiles, which were that 1
should see every man, and, see
whether it was a man that I buried,
though I supposed tint 1 did
They generally call me right off
when there is a death, but 1 was not
notified in this case until 1 was
called to the funeral.

tary ball, which was in progress to
night in the chapel of the academy
is taking place under protection of
the c uirts of the state. The church
people sought an injunction
against its being held, which was
today .refused by Superior Court
Judge Clark ' on the ground that
qublic policy favored the meeting
of the sexes. In rendering his deci
sion Judge Clark said; 'Tinier the
circumstances, I think this dance
will have to ro on. It would not
be right and proper for me to inter
tVre .it this late date, as the ball is
to come off tonight. The young
ladies have gone to a great deal of
trouble 1 know in preparing their
new dresses with all the fancy
fixings known to y U'lir ladies, and
theyoiiiig men have bought swal
low-tailed coats, low cut vests and
fancy bosomed shirts, and it would
be highly improper for me to stop
the dance at this critical periot
Then again if we were to stop
this ball it might baeak up several
weddings and the most serious con
sequences might follow, so I feel it
in v dutv to say, on with the
dance."
