IN DEFENSE OF I MIN

panion Died Under the
Strain.
By Associated Press.
Rockford, 111.. Oct. 12—Samuel Ensign,
an engineer of the Old Time Racine and
Mississippi railroad and a resident of this
city many years ago has returned, old and
broken in health with a sad story of im
prisonment and suffering in Cuba.
When Ensign left Rockford he went to
Cuba where he obtained a situation as an
engineer in a sugar factory. One night
Ensign with two fellow-workmen resisted
an insult being made upon a native woman
by Spanish soldiers. The next morning
Ensign says all three were taken prisoners
to Havana where they were placed in
Morro Castle. One of the men died in
seven months and the other lived two and
a half years.
For thirteen years and five months En
sign alleges he was confined in the castle,
allowed to speak to no one and only to
walk through a corridor 240 feet long for
recreation.
At the expiration of that time Ensign
says ho was taken out and set to work
with a ball and chain on his ankle at con
structing a plaza.
At that he worked for more than five
years. He became friendly with priests
and attendants in a neighboring monastry
and one night was spirited away and
placed on a man-of-war that finally landed
him in Mexico. When placed in prison
Ensign claims he had certificates of deposit
to the amount of ss,ooo *and SI,OOO in
money, none of which was returned to
him.
