•ullding, against the head of a con
*ict camp at Greensboro, IT. C., the
•/•ju'ig man declared yesterday.
Gangestad was arrested at Grcens

50 wyt In the camp. Unwilling to
let his father know his predicament,
he submitted.

“After suffering their brutalities
for IS days I telegraphed to my
father, who sent me money, with
which I bought my way out,” lie
said. “As I was about to leave, the
guard compelled me to take off my
shoes and I was pushed out, bare
footed, into the winter day, though I
had a terrible cold* at the time.
"They fed us corn mush and Mack
strap molasses. They refused to give
me medicine when 1 was threatened
with pneumonia. Letters 1 wrote to
my parents were never recetvd. Sixty
iollars worth of jewelry disappeared
and nojsffcirt was made to find it.
"Men were forced to sleep in open
■ ages like animals. My life was
threatened by a guard, who picked,
up a piece of iron pipe and threat
ened to kill me.”
/ Others Whipped.
Gangestad said lie heard the cries
of other prisoners who were being ;
lashed. When he returned home last j
December he said nothing at first of;
the brutalities but, after the ex-j

( ndosing a statement of alleged bru
talities against his son.
A telegram to The Omaha Bee from
.! G. Foushee, in charge of the county
i onvict system at Greensboro, denied
the statements of young Gangestad.
