WHAT TURNER SAYS
About the Sensational Reports Concerning
Convicts
HE DRAWS THE DEADLY PARALLEL
And S»ys it Is O .ly m Effort to Make 1 polit
ical Capital -Hts Side of
the Ca. e
The reports of the legislative com
<mittes onthe condition of the peni
tentiary have created a sensation.
The following is clipped from yester
day’s Constitution:
When a Constitution reporter went
to the penitentiary department yes
terday and asked Judge Turner for
his views concerning those reports, he
replied with characteristic earnest
ness:
■“When my attention was called to
that portion of the report of the sen
ate committee on penitentiary, pub
lished in yesterday’s Constitution,
containing severe strictures upon the
conduct of the officials of the depart
ment, and to the rumor that the house
committee would make a similar re
port, I said nothing in defense of my
self or the other officers of the depart
ment, preferring to read the whole of
both reports before attempting to
justify the department or refute the
strictures of the committees. Last
night I had an opportunity of reading
both reports, and will use each as
answer to the other, placing the re
ports of each on the same camps in
parallel colums, leaving the public to
judge which of thetwo is more worthy
of credit If the senate committee has
related facts, the house committee has
misrepresented them, and vice versa.
It would be amusing, if not interest
ing, to know by what process of in
vestigation each committee, with the
same state of facts, arrived at conclu
sions so absolutely at variance. The
reports will speak for themselves.”
Here they are as Judge Turner ar
ranged them:

*******
“Perhaps the most remarkable
thing in either report”’ continued
Judge Turner, “is the contradiction
in two parts of the senate report,
which will be more glaring and appar
ent when arranged in parallel col
umns.”
This is as follows:
Part of Senate re- Part of Senate re

“We find the “In other camps

it is considered the
convicts are hired
at less than one
dollar per month
per capita, and the
state pays out an
nually over half
I of the income de-
rived from hire to
penitentiary offi
cials, sueh neglect
of duty on the part
of those charged
to see that the
rules and regula
t i o n s governing
state convicts are
enforced is, in the
opinion of your
committee, wholly
inexcusable.”
*******
‘‘ls it possible that one member of the
committee wrote the whole of that re
port?” asked Judge Turner, as he
showed it to The Constieut on reporter.
“Is it not more probable that it was
written by two or more members, and
that neither knew what the others had
written? Upon no other hypothesis
c >ul i the final paragraph have added to
this report, which had previously stated
that ‘We find the convicts in all of the
places prooerly cared fc as the law pro
vides, well fed, well clothed and are
given good medical attention when
needed. The two conclusions are in
compatible, irreconcilanle anu impeach
themselves.
Judge Turner s Fl-in Pen a l .
“It is u itrue that the » hite and col
ored convicts have no separate sleeping 1
quarters at Mineola.
“It is untrue that the buildings at
Echo and Maxwell are on the ground,
and in a malarial section of the country.
“It is untrue that the convicts at
Alexanderville are fed upon bread with
the bran cooked with the meal.
“The suggestion of the s?uate com
mittee that night vessels used by con

is but just to the superintendent there to
state that this mode of punishment was
approved by Dr. Mclntosh, the former
principal physician, »s more humane
and less harmlul than the strap. This
punishment, however, was neverinflict
ed as described in the report of the
house committee.
“Some camps are better than others,
wbicu race is clearly set our. in the pub
lished reports from the officials of this
depar.ment, ” continued the principal
keeper. Every effort, however, is being
made by the department to bring them
up to one standard of excellence, a seri
ous undertaking when the limited power
conferred by the lease act upon the gov
ernor and the department isconsidered.
My office work prevents ins from visit- 1

MUNYON.
Mr. Holt Say; His Improved HoniW

Her of Rheumatism.
Mrs. D. Holt, 296 Champlain street,
Detroit Mich., says: “There is no
doubting the power of Munyon’s
Rheumatism cure over disease. For
ten years I was a constant sufferer
from rheumatism. My feet were swol
len, and I could not leave my bed.
We tried all sorts of medicines, but I
never found relief. Finally I began
using Munyon’s Rheumatism Cure.
The first dose worked a marvelous
change, and after I had one bottle the
swelling in my foot was gone. Now I
am entirely cured and cannot say
enough in praise of Munyon’s Rheu
matism Cure.”
Munyon’s Rhumatism Cure never
fails to relieve in 1 to 3 hours, and
cures in a few days. Price 25 cents.
Munyon’s Dyspepsia Cure is guar
anteed to cure all forms of indigestion
and stomach troubles. Price 25
cents.

mittees that the convicts are starved,
ill clothed and cruelly treated. Out
of a prison population of 2,963, there
occurred but forty deaths fmm dis
ease during that period.
“Only two members of the senate
committee came into this department
during the legislative session. One
of these was the chairman, who came
for a bill which I had drawn for him
putting misdemeanor convicts under
the care of this department, the man
agement of which department he re
ports disgraceful; the other was the
senator who introduced the bill so
drawn and who as its author made
considerable capital out of it, having
also been championed by the chair
man of the house committee. If these
gentlemen had visited the department,
examined its records and investigated
the conduct of the officials, with a
clear understanding of the lease law,
they might have understood how
limited the authority of the depart
ment is, and saved themselves the at
titude of criticising harshly officials
aboutwhose conduct they knew noth
iug.
