6 THE TREATMENT OF CONVICTS. The Records Prove James Thomas’ Story Utterly False, He Had Only One Foot When Sent to the Penitentiary. Dr. W. D. Carter’s Statement About Fayette Yarby’s Tale of Woe. Penitentiary Department, Atlanta. On., April 18, '93. Editors Augusta Chronicle:— Your issue of the 13th inst., contains un article headed “The State’s Shauie,” at the conclusion of which you say that you hud no desire to do tiny one an in justice, and would grant an opportunity tor reply, from any one authorized to speak from the other side. Os the story of Fate I’urby 1 know nothing, he hav ing been discharged before 1 assumed the duties of Principal Keeper of the i Penitentiary, but my knowledge of Col. Smith's management of convicts, since my connection with the penitentiary con vinces me that Yarby’s statement is false. James Thomas, who so successfully worked on the sympathy of Macon’s mayor, and thereby obtained a pass to Savannah, was convicted of horse steal ing in Dekalb county, in 1889, and not of manslaughter as he stated. He was sentenced to the penitentiary for four years, served his time ami was discharged July 12th, 1892, and not on tiie 22nd, of March, 1893, as he claimed. He was a badly crippled negro when re ceived in the penitentiary, having lost a foot and sustained other injuries in a railroad wreck, prior to his conviction, so he stated, and was not frost bitten, during his stay in the penitentiary, be was also a loathsome syphilitic. He was badly scalded in said wreck, and the white spots on his arms were from that, a id not from carrying hot bricks. Con victs are not allowed to carry hot bricks, or to perform any other labor not ex pecltd of free labor. Just before bis lotm expired, and at his own request, and in accordance with the judgment of Drs. O’Daniel and Green, hoping by the operation to better his condition they d.d amputate his leg or more properly slump below the knee. The operation was skilfully done and an apparent good recovery followed. He walked wherever he pleased on a “peg leg,” but no sur geon could promise permanent relief to such a constitutional wreck. He further stated, that when he was discharged the authorities gave him "the same suit of clothes that he wore when he went in and ten cents to pay his way home. When lie was discharged he was given a suit of new clothes and six dollars mid some cents to pay his railroad fare to s.iue point in South Carolina. The nuthorit.es have hjs receipt. tie again stated that convicts are cruelly and brutally treated. This is un true. The law makes it the duty of the assistant keeper of the penitentiary to visit each camp once a month and re port the condition to the governor. Col. J{. F. Wright, the present assistant is a conscientious ofli'cr, and performs this duty well. The law also requires the / Principal Physician to visit each camp every two months and inspect the sani tary condition. Dr. O’Daniel is well and favorably known throughout the slate, and his professional ability, and his integrity are unquestioned. The law also requires the Grand Jury or coun ties wuere.u the camps are located to examine the management in detail twice a year, and report in their presentments. Hack legislature sends a committee both from the house iiud senate to perform the same duties With these sate guards is it not reasonable to suppose that if such inhumane, hrutaf ami outrageous treatment was perpetrated, •some of these oUieers would discover it? Vet. there lias not been a single unfavorable report made by’ any of the grand juries or legislature committees since my con nection with the department, but their reports have been uniformly compli mentary. The infliction of too severe punishment has been brought to my knowledge in only two instances, ami in both eases the offenders were prompt ly discharged. The Chronicle, refers to a letter pub lished in its columns on the 16. inst., copied from the Boston Globe on the Curious of the South, in which the writer accepts as authoratative, con cerning the negro, the views and state ments of a negro hack driver, who be lieves that George Washington signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Now. I think the correspondent of the Boston Globe had the same right to accept his statement ns facts as the correspondent <>f other prominent southern newspapers have to accept and publish to the world as facts interviews with discharged ne gro convicts. 1 am utterly surprised to linil lending newspapers interviewing discharged negro convicts, and publish ing their statements to be scattered broadcast over the country. Ought not the reports of the Principal Keeper. Principal Physician Assistant Keeper. Legislative Committees and Grand Jur ies, performing duties under oath, be more readily believed than the state ments of ex-bonviets? 1 hope all nows papers that, have published the state ment of these ex-eonvicts. Aarby and ' Thomas will do me and the department ihe justice to give this letter the same prominence given to their statements heretofore published. 1111 i ( , EO H JONES. Principal Keeper Penitentiary. FATE YARBY’S STORY. Smithonin, Gn.. April 19. 1893. Editors Augusta Chronicle:—Enclosed [ send you a statement made by Dr. W. D. Carter, which explains itself, and completely refutes the story of Fayette Yarby. 1 thank you for calling my at tention to this matter. Please publish Ur. Carter's statement. Respectfully, James M. Smith. Winterville, Ga., April 15. 1893. Editors Chronicle:—ln your issue of •' • Hili inst. I have read an article on vour editorial page headed. “Fate Yar bv’s Story. In reference to layette Varov, alias Ellis, and the story which ho tells. I "beg to make the following statement: I am a physician of twenty years practice Am a graduate of the Atlanta Medical College. Have been doing a general and extensive practice in the entire surrounding country, and am now and have been for the past thriteen con secutive rears the physician in charge of the Oglethorpe branch penitentiary, located near Sinithonia. During that pe riod 1 have, with few exceptions, visited said camp daily; often two or three rimes dailv. I have necessarily, in the discharge of my duty as camp physi cian, (become not only personally ac quainted with each and every convict who has at any time been an inmate of this prison, but have become acquainted with physical condition, health and gen eral characteristics of each one. As the law requires, I have kept a record of each and every convict, which allows the age, color, crime, length of sentence, county from which received, how long in jail before being received, time when received, mid time when dis charged; pliya'cal condition and general health when received; also physical con dition and general health when <lis <-harg«i. I find that said Fayette Yar by, alius Ellis, was received nt Ogle thorpe branch oainp April 10, 1889, and discharged June 15th, 1890. He was 16 years of nge when received. His crime was manslaughter. Upon examination of the books kept at the camp by the captain. I find said Fayette upon being diaciinrged was given a new suit of citizen’s clothing, one pair of new -hoes, one new lint, nil of I lie value of sl2, and $lO beside* to pay liis way back to the county from whence he mo. While in prison nt this ramp said i'.iyet.ie wa remarkably healthy, never h i-’ing 10-t a -I iy from sickness or any oiie-r cause. When received he weighed lln pounds, and uh—i discharged he weighed 150 pounds, h will thus be seen thut while he was a -prisoner at this eamp lie grew and fattened like a pig. < >m- of his rhai.i. |-|‘ : ; i while at this '.ingi. was his unusual disposition, even for one of bls race, to be untruthful. Dilling the whole period of tuy ser vice r.s physician ut Oglethorpe branch penile.itinry, I have neves known, seen, or heard, from any reliable source, of any convict or convicts being severely whipped or in any manner inhumanely or ill treated. On the contrary I know they have been well fed. well clothed and shod, worked in moderation, well housed, kept in doors during severe weather, and uniformly treated with hu manity. When sick the best attention has been given them. Tn every instance where a convict has been discharged, the convict when discharged was healthier and more able bodied than when received. At this camp the record shows a less death rate, a less per cent, of escapes and casualties than at any prison of which I have any record or knowledge. Last year, about .Tune, I was called to attend said Fayette. He was living with a colored tenant of Col. Smith’s, about six miles from the camp. This tenant owns his own stock, furnishes his own labor, and pays standing rent for the farm which he cultivates. Col. Smith has nothing to do with those whom he. the tenant, hires. This tenant informed me that he had hired this boy I' ayette soon after he was discharged f rom the camp; that he .did not owe Fayette anything, finding it a difficult matter to keep Fayette from getting ahead of his wages. I elicited this in formation in arranging how I was to get pay in case I agreed to treat Fay ette. The tenant finally agreed to see me paid, and Fayette agreed to work with tins tenant and pay him whatever sum my medical service's might amount to. T found Fayette afflicted with a very severe and serious case of syphillis, ami triable to perform any lalior" I at tended him regularly for a period of six months. Finally I succeeded in curing linn so he could do light work. He re cov'‘red the Ist of December. The tenant paid me my fee for medical services to Fayette. Fayette when discharged from the enmn was entirely sound and healthy. He ci.iitraeted this disease after he wav diseharged. The tenant informed me that fnelitd mg my bill for medical services on Fay ette (he boarded him. washed for him and waited on him) that Fayette had cost him $15(1. Fayette left this tenant as soon as he was fairly able to do good labor in order to get rid of paying him, the tenant, a inst and honest debt. After _ having of his own ac cord. in my presence. contract ed to work for this tenant until be. the tenant was re-imbnrsed for the expenses and outlay to which he hod been put by reason of the severe afflic tion of Fayette, bv this conduct Fay ette showed himself to be utterly unre liable. and without an ounce of grati tude. As to hirelings being whinned, chained run by dogs and worked like convicts 'her no truth in 'he report whatever F-iv ute has never been at or near the '■amp since he was discharged, nearly throe years neo. Neither has he been at or near Col. Smith's home place, he. Fayette, living six miles from Col. -’••i ’ li's home with a tenant of Col. Smith's as already stated. Hence he .‘ould have no personal knowledge o’, the treatment of the eonviets since he was discharged, or anv of the hirelings. During the whole time Fayette lived with this colored tenant of Col. Smith’s I did the practice for this tenant, his family and employes. , Fayette migh* have left the employment of this tenant .-it any time as there was nothing to prevent it. Ido not think any one was interested or benetitted by Fayette re maining in tliis section so long after be ing discharged. The tenant would have been largely benetitted had Fayette left twelve months before he did. The conduct of Fayette before he left was very bad. On one occasion he way laid a negro man and knocked him in the head with an axe. On another oc casion he drew his pistol and shot at a negro man. and was only prevented frotn shooting again by parties siezing him and taking his pistol away. Col. Smith has always insisted that the eonviets be well treated and has rendered me every assistance needed in giving them medical attention. I have been practicing among the tenants, the wage-hands and the employes of Col. Smith for twenty years, and have had every opportunity of witnessing and knowing his treatment and management of every one with whom he has business. Col. Smith is one of the most charitable, liberal and humane men I ever knew, liis policy has been to always take good cate of his tools and machinery, to feeo well and take good care of all liis mules and stock, to buijd the best of houses for all his tenants and laborers, to look after the health and comfort and well being of all bis employes. His theory is that it pays him a big per cent to pursue this policy. He has had built at his own expense three respectable churches and school houses for bis colored tenants ami la borers. in each case deeding the land on which these houses are built to the eburvhes. Colored people and white people, not only from his own county, but from adjoining counties, come to him to got pecuniary help and advice in their business, which he always fur nishes to the deserving. Col. Smith pays his employes good wages and aids and assists them when misfortune overtakes them. Ninety pin cent, of the convicts discharged from his eamp have the highest respect for him. Occasionally an ingrate tries to slander him. Some years ago a negro by the name of Muncey started a story that the con victs nt this eamp were made to cut wheat all day on Sunday: and that three of the convicts were shot and killed for refusing to work on Sunday. This, as a matter of course, was wholly false, and without foundation. Fayette Yar iw's story is on a par with Munceys. Respectfully. W. D. CARTER, M. D. MURPHY FOUND DEAD. Washington, April 19.—C01. C. J. Murphy, formerly of Brownsville, Texas, but of late years a claim agent in this city, was found today dead in his office. Col. Mur phy had been missing for about a month and today bls office was broken into and his decomposed remains discovered. SUICIDED IN A WELL. Atlanta, April 19—Michael Murphy, 75 years old, suicided today by throwing him self into a forty-foot well. For twenty years he was a uiacbln st on the Western and Atlantic railroad. Losing his posi tion recently he grew despondent. THE CHRONICLE, APRIL 26, 1893. EDWIN BOOTH ; IS PARALYZED. He was Found Unconscious in His Room. This is the Great Actgr’s Second Paralytic Stroke. The Doctors Regard His Recovery as Very Doubtful. New York, April 19.—Edwin Booth, the tragedian, is lying at the Player's Club, 16 Grainen-y Park, suffering from paralysis. It is feared tljat this, the second par alytic stroke wfth which the fatuous ac tor bus been stricken, will prove fatal. At 11 o’clock this morning Stipt. Me- Gouiugle of flie Player’s Club, not hav ing heard frltn Booth, opened the door of his sleei/ng apartment at the club and found /.he tragedian lying in bed unconscious/ Dr. St. Claire Smith and Dr. Ransonj were immediately summoned and they give it as their opinion that he had been stricken with paralysis some time duri. g the night. Drs. Smith and Ransom remained with the patient all day and at midnight thought there were signs of conscious ness. life condition was considered very critical and the attending physicians said that it wai| very doubtful if Booth would recover. Later—At 1 o’clock this morning it was announced at the club house that Mr. Booth was sinking, and that, while he might recover, his condition was more precarious than at any time since the attack. TUE BILL AI.TEKED. there Will Be Much Discussion Over the Dl.pensnrv Act. Columbia, S. C., April 19.—A sensation was sprung in the fight against the dis pensary bill today, when Major Hamilton, counsel for Chester dealers, filed his re joinder to the city council’s answer. He charges the speaker of the house of re presentatives with altering the bill after It had been passed by the house. The paragraph making the charges says that the bill never force of law iu the state because the original which was passed by both houses was altered and 'changed by Ira B. Jones and amended as lie saw fit, when it appears n the journal that no such changes or alterations lad been sanctioned. The charge will doubt less bring forth much acrimonious dis cussion. DENTES THE CHARGE. Columbia , S. C., April 19.—Speaker Jones lias telegraphed The Register a dqni'al of the charge that he altered the dispensary bill after it had passed the general assembly and without the war rant of the hiouses. He simply marked on the bill, house’s adoption of the sen ate’s amendment thereto. THE WAGE WORKER'S LEAGUE. Die Convention wna Held at Columbia Ye«- terdny-Cnnghman e p-«lo Columbia, S. C., April 19.—The wage workers league, composed <xf one hun dred and fifty delegates fom ull parts of the state met here tonight at the opera house. After a long discussion on organization, G. W. Platt of Oconee was chosen president: G. TV. Bateman of Richland, secretary: G. E. Whaley of Orangeburg, -treasurer. The conven tion is opposed to Tillman, but the de claration of principles was amended in denouncing the non-performance of promises by the state administration. The employment of convict labor it competition with free labor was d« nounced. The immigrant question was encouraged by the adoption of a reso lution asking for all to tome to South CarriMiia. Col. Caughmau. a former reformer, made an earnest speech in which he denounced the nreseat so-calleu reform government. GEN. C. A. EVANS Elected President of the Fulton County Confederate Veterans Association. The election of General Clement A. Evans to the presidency of Hie Fulton County Confederate. Veterans’ Associa tion was no higher compliment than tiie distinguished veteran deserves, says the Constitution. Colonel TV. L. Calhoun has for sev eral terms been president of the asso ciation. and had once before determined to resign the office on account of the pressure of the work in the ordinary’s office but his resignation was not ac cepted before. This time, however, he declared that he could not accept the office for another term, and would not allow his name to go before the association for re-election.’ General Evans was elected to the of fice by the members, and they congrat ulated themselves on the selection they made. General Evans will lead the mem bers of the association to the train the day the body of Jefferson Davis reaches Atlanta. General Evans is one of the old war horses left in Georgia. He is a man whose military record is without a blem ish and as bright as chivalry could make it. He was born in Lumpkin, Stewart county, Georgia, and was admitted to practice law iu that town at the early age of nineteen. He was a promising young man with all the tire and genius and eloquence that it took in those days to make successful politicians, and pol itics was his passion. He was a member of the general assembly of his county a number of years and was in the sen ate just before the state capitol was re moved from Milledgeville to Atlanta. He was a member of the secession con vention and was an elector for Breck enridge. He went to the war when quite young as first lieutenant of the Stewart Grays, a company formed in his neighborhood. It wasnt long before he was a captain, being a gallant and faithful officer. Then he became a major, and then a colonel. Later he was promoted to brig adier general and took the command that General John B. Gordon left when promoted from that office to a higher one. He was at nil times one of the most gallant of the officers in charge of con federate soldiers, and the old soldiers know it full well. A story is told that at the fighting around Richmond, General Evans, who was at the time a colonel, desired to make a rush into the very front of the enemies columns, and went to Color Bearer Wright and asked him to give him the flag of the regiment. This IVright refused to do. declaring that he himself would hold that flag until it was shot from his hands, or he was shot to the ground. Then Colonel Evans ordered him to run to the enemies’ battery and plant the flag, which Wright very gal lantly did. When it was all over the collnel called W right up and said: “Well done, my boy, I want to take you borne and zhow yon to my .wife." General Evans was wounded five times in the war and very seriously, but never gave up. He was shot through the body zeveraf times. One time tne ball carried with it a paper of pins i»b.ch he was carrying in his side pocket and they remained in him for a long time, much to the astonishment of the phy sicians. He was a great warrior, and all of his old soldiers love him very much. He cannot be in Atlanta Me morial Day. having accepted an invita tion to make a speech at Elberton that day. DWARF AMERICANS. Remains of a Race of Llliputlans Unearthed In East Tennessee. The Smithsonian Institution hns under taken u peculiar work iu this locality, says a Cuberland Gap correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Those people of the world who have paid lengthy visits to that hilly country known as East Tennessee have always been impressed with the sublimity and beatify of the mountains, 'the simplicity and superstition of the inhabitants, and the general air of sleepy mysteriousness surrounding everything. Ask one of these people where they would most expect to find a race of dwarfs or giants and the reply will be, “In East Ten nessee.” And recent developments seem to bear them out, for hi the last few yanrs the remains of people less than three feet in height have been discover ed in tliis country. On the etustern slope of one of the peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains, where the first rays of the morning sun strike, is an ancient burying-ground; and such another burying-place could not be found, though the world be searched, for not one grave is more than three feet long. The tombs are two feet be neath the surface, and are formed of cement and Hat stones, and have defied the ravages of time to cause them to be destroyed. Most of them examined contained a vase, a few beads and a human skeleton, which was never more than thirty-six inches long, and was that of a full-grown person. The natives have a beautiful legend of the pIiKV, and say none were interred here excepting Indian children, while naturalists claim the skulls to have reached their full growth. But the most interesting account is that of the red men who held that coun try when first settled by whites. They claim that when they came to that sec tion of country it was peopled by a race of small, fierce men. with red hair: that these dwarfs waged a long and bloody war with the Indians, but were finally all killed; that this burying-ground was used long before they came into the country, and that those killed in the war were never buried. In some parts of the adjacent moun tains, high up on the cliffs, are to be seen rude drawings of combats between fully grown men and a number of dwarfs. On account of the superstitions of the East Tennesseeans it is difficult to reach this pygmy cemetery and al-, most as much as life is worth to at tempt to dig into the graves of the "Leetle People.” In the mountainous district of one of the Southern States, in a bend of one of the great rivers, is situated a natural fort, known to the surrounding inhabitants as “Indian Fort.” Sur rounded on three sides by perpendicular cliffs, at the Ixittom of which flows the river, wide and deep, the only way of approach is by ascending a stiff declivity from the open side, near the summit of Which are still to be seen traces of an ancient embankment, almost obliter ated by time. Within the space in closed by the river and embankment have been found a great many stone and flint implements of Indian warfare and a few bronze axes. There are also a number of tombs formed of large flat stones containing nothing but dust and dirt at the present. In the time of the early settlers the native Indians had a tradition of a great battle haying been fought at this place years previous to their own time, in which an entire race was exterminated. The legend is: “The exterminated race, who were called ‘Worshippers of the Sun,’ had been gradually driven southward, from the far north, by the Indians. Before reaching the “Great River” (the Ohio) they separated into two divisions, one going to the south west. the other going directly south. What became of the first part is not told in the legend. . After innumerable battles the fleeing race made a final stand at Ind’an Fort.” and after a siege of many months during which time the besieged sub sisted on provisions previously gathered, they were conquered, and every man. woman and child was killed. The legend snvs these people came from tiie vicinity of the Great Lakes, and the few bronze implements discovered .seem to give some truth to that part of the story. It is supposed that these people were the ancestors of the Mexican AztMe.s, and that that portion who escaped when rhe tribe div’ded wandered toward the southwest and entered Mexico from the north At the time of the conquest of Mexico by Cortez the Aztecs claimed that they came from the north, and sun worship was the national religion. To investigate these relies of a de n'lrtod race the Smithsonian officials have sent Professor Snow and a corps of assistants to the scene. They are making their headquarters in this city. They will probably be engaged on this work for a month. Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup takes the lead of ull cough preparations on our shelves. Carpenter X- Palmeter. Jamestown, N. 1. MRS. HAMMOND RELEASED.
