PRISON PROBE ENDED

AMERICAN LIVESTOCK
BOYS SAIL FOR ENGLAND
(Uy Aiwornui-d Press)
New Yorb, June 16.--Three youth
ful judges of livestock and agricul
tural products, who are rated as “Am
erica’s best,” sailed on the Carmania
today to attend the English Royal
Stock show at Cambridge, in July.
They are Warren Rice, George R. J.
Worilou and Joseph Glackin. of Cecil
county. Maryland, who won the com
petition at the Southeastern Fair, In
Atlanta last fall.
weight of importance attached to spe
cific complain of whipping of Jndlvid
ual prisoners, but as a general propo
sition it was fully established that the
use of the lash at the prison is prac
tically unrestrained although a part
of the method growing out of the
prison system.
The testimony of Superintendent
Dunaway, who has had charge of the
place only a month, was direct sub
stantiation of the charges of improper
sanitary conditions, uncleanliness of
the place generally, and unfitness of
the food, for the superintendent, with
emphasis, swore that he had made
very considerable improvements al
ready throughout the prisou plant, and
many other improvements will yet
have to be made before he will be
satisfied with It.
Commissioners Lauded
Chairman Davison, of the Prison
Commission, made a rather consider
able statement, in which two import
ant declarations were carried. First,
that be believes more good had been
done for the Institution by the present
prison commission than by anybody
since the place was established; sec
ond. that the laud sn which the plant
is located is “about the poorest farm
ing land that could be found ” In re
spect to the buildings, he said he had
designed them himself, and the im
provements made in the original prop
erty were all designed by and many of
them executed by him. The blame
for whatever shortages there may be
at the plant. Judge Davison charged
directly to lack of sufficient appropri
ation. and said the whole place, as a
farm, will not produce enough to pay
the salary of the prison staff and
guards alone The absence of screen
ing he charged to the wantonness of
the prisoners, saying he had repeated
ly bought and placed hundreds upon
hundreds of yards of screening and
as fast as you put it in they job It
out.”
Judge Patterson made a statement
not for the record but for informa
tion, touching upon the three priso
ners held in close confinement, Ar
nold Worley, Bill Greene and “Uncle
Bose” Taylor. Worley, he said, is in
close confinement for his own good
entirely, to keep him from injuring
someone else, or being injured, be
cause of his irrasciWe temper. Wor
ley’s complete prison record was re
viewed, with something of feeling for
the man, by Judge Eatterson, who
said he believes him not only possess
ed of a bad temper, but not mentally
normal. Bill Green, he said, is in his
opinion mentally unbalanced and he
expressed the wish that he could be
sent to the State asylum for treat
ment. “Uncle Bose” Taylor, who has
been in the prison for thirty-six
years a life termer has nobody in
the world to care for him, said Judge
Patterson, else he would be willing to
urge a pardon, but he i» too old to
care for himself. A few years ago
his mind began failing and at times
now' he is extremely obstreperous.
He, too. is in close confinement as a
matter of protection to him. Taylor,
though, is confined in close quarters
only when he has a “spell.”
Dr. Bignon Recalled
The day’s evidence opened with the
return to the stand of Dr. Bignon, of
Milledgeville, who had testified the
previous day, in order that he have
an opportunity to review the Denson
case and the American Legion Post’s
the Milledgeville Post, and an ex-
service man. He and Dr. Stembridge.
also of Milledgeville, made inquiry
into the Denson case when Christie’s
first letter was published, charging
that Denson had been whipped for
having “fits.” It had been admitted
by Warden Smith that Denson w^s
whipped lightly, for cursing a guard
and later cursing the warden out. Dr.
Bignon said he did not doubt that
Christie had written what Denson
told him, bat that was untrue. He
had talked with Denson himself and
no complaint was made of lack of
medical attention. He testified, too,
that he examined Denson's discharge
papers, and found no evidence of Den
son ever having been in battle, rather
that there were erasures from the pa
pers, which showed Denson to have
been repeatedly rated “A. W. O. L.,”
which was the rating of “a pretty bad
soldier.” He said the boy may be
mentally deficient, but the facts
stated by the Legion Post in their
published card, declaring there was no
foundation for Christie’s charges,
were true. Dr. M. L. Stembridge
went on the ^tand to (verify this
testimony.
The most illuminating testimony of
the day was that from B. H. Dun
away, the new superintendent of the
prison’, who outlined numerous im
provements he has made since May
15, and indicated many more he wjll
make before he is satisfied with the
place. He said he could not say he
had found anything wrong with tno
wardens or the guards, and that
things at the prison were going oi
about as well as could be expected
under the cvircumstances” when he
took charge.
‘I have made a number of improve
ments, am still making them and ex
pect to c ontinue to improve things
generally until the whole place is in
better shape, although it is now in
far better shape than when I came
here. I would say that conditions
then were not at all satisfactory, and
improvements were needed and somu
till are reeded. I hav had the full
o-operation of Warden Smith and
the other officers, and hope we are all
going to accomplish good results.
‘I started cleaning up and chang
ing things Us soon as I got here on
May 15, and it ip my purpose, when
I have gone on, to keep the place in
good condition all the time.”
Property, Vafued Low.
Superintendent Dunawawy said he
would admit that the place was not
at all what his idea is a prison should
be, nor was its condition good.
“The farm itself was in bad con
dition,” he said “but I do not at
tribute that Entirely to the men. If
I could have been here the first of
the year It would be in much bet
ter condition than it is to-day but
we must remember the seasons have
been bad, and there has been much
rain.”
Replying to quefitions about the
alue of the property he said: “I have
seen much better farm property, but
the (Question as to making it self
sustaining is a hard one to answer.
With good labor it could be done,
but this place is the dumping ground
for all the counties in the State; they
send up a very poor class of labor
indeed; such only as the counties do
not want or who are incapacitated
for actual work. I really do not be
lieve there is a sound man on the
farm, among the prison labor. The
negroes mostly make good farm la
borers, and we have less trouble with
them, but the white men are very
poor labor, what little there is to be
had of it, and the results naturally
are equally poor.”

small item but
very important
The cost of ice in the average family is a very
small fraction of the cost of living. An investiga
tion made by Dr. Wm. E. Marsh, of the Bureau of
Municipal Research, New York City, showed that
ice is only 74/10,000 of the cost of living in an av
erage family.
Without ice, food bills would double in warm
weather; the spoilage would be so great; and health
would be endangered.
Many people waste both food and ice by using too
little of the latter. Their refrigerator may be too
small, or they may let the ice get too low. That is
false economy. A full ice chamber in a good sized
iced box will save you money.
