"We, the County Commissioners of Sumter County, after thorough inves- tigation, find: There baa been unne cessary whipping bv the whipping boss of the chaingang; we atrongly condemn thla conduct, will reorga nize the force at once, and remove from the employ of the County every ono who la, In our judgement. In fault." ltespecthillv, A. T. Johnson, J. L. Chambliss, N. A. Hay, / K. M. Andrews, / . W. I,. Thomas, Such wus the verdict of the Board of County Commissioners, rendered yes terday morning, and so expressed In a letter addressed to Judgo Charles It. Crisp of the City Court and likewise to the Times- Hoc-order. The verdict was fully instilled by the evidence adduced. That there was unnecessary, oft repeated and cruel whipping of con victs at dtsers times was fhllv set forth by the evidence of numerous witnesses before tbe Commissioners. Tho Tlmos-ltecorder . Is unable to give the details of the investigation, though no fault of its own. however. Statements of the witnesses wore ta ken In detail, but tfie commissioners deemed It m-advlsable to publish this testimony, and thus suppressed it. The notes of the press representative were requested bv the board, and aro still in the jmssession of the body. It is impossible, therefore, to give a concise statement beyond the fact that the testimony of several or the wit nesses showed severe whipping of tbe convicts. Other evidence was to the effect that tliev were not severely whipped, were well fed and well cared for. r upon bare backs of tbe entire seven teen, sixteen of them innocent, thus resulted. One witness said that the tin buck et was probably worth*. r > cents. Kd Davit a negro convict, was severely whipped for smoking a cigar, otto, with the further offense that he did not kneel across the log with the alacrity demanded by the whipping boss. In' this instance it was shown that the negro waa blistered by the welts made by the tbe strap. One of two convicts selected oat of twenty-nine to testify In defense of tbe parties thus charged stated that, upon one occasion, the convicts were tieaten with the root of a tree In the hand* of tbe man In charge of them. other cruelties inflicted were recited by tbe same convict, who appeared be fore tho board In clanking chains, thns making a wiord picture as he told the story of the whipping* received. Other slmlllar act* were testified to by the witnesses,thus bearing out to an extent tho story told to Judgo Crisp in open court by Gu* Nelson, a convict, and which resulted in tne requost for investigation by the commissioners. Tin- alleged beating with pick handles, witnesses stated, had been heard of by them but not seen, occur- lng under a former administration. Several men now connected with tbe gang, as well at former guards, cltl sens and tlie two convicts, made up the testimony.
