Tho next witness sworn was Mr. E. T.
Shubrick, assistant keeper of the Peniten

ber of oonvict camps varied. There are
now fourteen or fifteen. The oonviots are
controlled by Penitentiary Companies Nos.

No. 1, owned by Gov. Brown, as Presi

MACON, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, SEPIV MBBK 13, 1887.-TWKLVE PAGES.
The executive order of January 10,1885,1 TTWTlffD miJT)PTA\T
by Governor McDaniel, abolishing the) UiU/uJl V-ui’,ItH-Ujl,
Lockett camp, in Djugberty, a branch of
No. 2, and directing tho principal keeper to
remove the oonviots, was read to Colonel
Towers and submitted in evidence. Col
onel Towels had testified on tho subject,
and til order was na,l that he might vilify
it as the one under which he had acted.
At this point the oonrt adjourned the
hearing until 10 o'clock a. m. Tuesday,
September 20th.
THEM’GLYLNN SENSATION.
Mr. Shubrick’s first report aa to Bc-irvy
was in tho printed report of July, 1833.
This vaa at the Dads coalmines, convicts
of No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 Joly 1, 1880,

on thu Georgia Midland, ho found tho ho*-
total and commissary in bail condition.
That was remedied at his anggestion in
June of that yenr. In his December, 16SG.
report of tho camps on tho Angusia and
Chattanooga road, the Bondurant camp, ho
hail to tuygeat and direct many charges in
tho barracks. His March (1880) reports
stated that his anggestions aa to dietetic
changes at Codurtown and Oglethorpe had
been disregarded.
The convicts nro assigned to the camps
witbont regard to their conditions. They
are not txuminod before such assignment.
When received at the camp tho camp
physician passes npon their ctpacity to
work.
The original lessees have nothing to do
with tho oonviots controlled by Smith and
tho convicta controlled by James. Captain
Grant has had no control over convicts
sicca Mr. Shubrick went into office.
No. 2 is at present entitled to abont C25
convicts. Tho headquarter camp at Chat-
tnhoocheo would not accommodate over
2UO convicts No. 3 is entitled to abont
thosatno number, 6‘23 convicts, and tbo
headquarter oimp atOIdtown would hardly
accommodate as munyaa tho Chattahoochee
barracks.
Tho court hero adjourned to 1 p. m,
Tho examination of Mr. Shubrick was
resumed ut 1 o’clock. Lie testified that ho
bad found convic'a at work cn Hnnday at
Cei'artown, ai d supposes they work there

compulsory, but tbo convicts are paid for

at Rising Fawn, but not at Chattahoocbeo
It wiu contended tlmt tho furnaces have to
bo kept up on Sunday, and work on that
day is neoesury.
In tho matt r of dietary complaints at
Oglethorpe, ho add he had had trouble there

Bondurant hadattheAngustacamp, except 1
through the oontraot with W. B. Lowe. He
held Lowe responsible for the oamp. His
own impression of Bondonrant and Joplin
waa strengthened by the opinion had of
these men by the best people of Augusta,
of whom he inquired to satisfy his own
mind.
The Executive order of Gov. McDaniel,
establishing tho Chattahoochee camp as a
branch of penitentiary oompany No 3, was
put in evidenoe by the State. It was ex
pressly declared In this order that it waa
not intended as a ratification or approval of
the transfer of interest In tholease by Cant.
IV. D. Grant or any one else, the legality
and propriety of such transfer being left
open for fntnre aotlon by the Legislature
or the Executive.
Tho State also pnt in evidence a commu
nication from A. M. Lack, Madison, Ga., to
Col. Towers, notifying him of the death ot
convict Win. Williams, from consumption,
whose sentence was 40 years tor simple
larceny.
The State offered in evidence the com
munications received by the Governor call
ing attention to the condition cf Bingham’s
camp. S mioof thi-s-lcttirs were anonj ■
moua, but Mr. Smith stated they wore not
Introduced for the purpose of establishing
any ot the charges therein recited, bnl as a
part of the histoiy of this investigation.
Co.initl for respondents objected to tbo
letters being admitted as evidence. The;

and W i re i,.q.r qior as c videnc* in any court,
and would bo In violation of every rule ol
evidence. It was oven believed, and not
denied by the Btale.
The objootlon was sustained by theconrt,
tho following ruling being made:
“Certain anonymous letters addressed to
the Governor making c-mpluiutH in rcf. r-
enoe to the treatment of convicts being of
fired in evidence, it ia ruled that ( thess let
ters are not admissible. They are unveri
fied statements and cannot, therefore, he ac

evidenco they onght not to be reoeived at

Governor to commence this investigation.
The propriety of his conduct in ordering
the investigation is not now under review. ’
The report of Gol. Towers to the Gover
nor on his investigation of the BiDgham
camp was identified and verified by Cob
Towers and pnt in evidence
The executive order establishing camps
on the line of tho Atlanta and Hawkinaviile
railroad was put in evidence. Tho order,
which waa signed by Gov. Gordon, de
clared that It was in no way to be taken aa
a recognition of Jamos W. English as a
lessee.
Cob Towers was cross-examined by Judge
Hopkins. He was Bhown a printed copy of
his annual report of 188C, commending the
condition cf tbo penitentiary, and speaking
well of Oapb Eogli li in hla treatment of
convicts, and asked if it was correct.
Col. Towers said it was. GapL English
ba.l alwajb been willing and preu.pl lb cor
rect any evils oomplained of.
This report also referred to the ill condi
lion of many of the oonvicts when they
were receives! by the penitentiary anthon
ties, due in a large u.uusao to the bad oon
dltion of county jails.
U waa also ruiui from the report to him
for verification his statement that it was •
matter of congratulation that, in spite of
the largo increase in the number ct con-
viots, the death rato was not proportionate
ly increased.
Under the cross-examination Cob Towers
said in rrgir.t to the conduct of whipping
bois W. E. Smith at Old Town, which re
sulted in hie discharge, that when Captain
James's attention was called to the exces
sive whipping ot the convicts the latter acid
if he had known of it Smith wonid bavo
been discharged before. James bad always
been ready to make any improvements sag-
gest- d.
Cob Towers had known Bingham for sev

tbo convicts tor many years and ho had

Baltimore, September 10. —Cardinal
Gibbons was seen early this morning in re
gard to the statements of the Brooklyn
Standard relating his connection with tho
suppression cf the letter to Romo in re
gard to the case of Dr. McGlynn. After
(■Mag the matter he simply sai4: “I
hare no reply to make.”
Baltupbe September 10 — Cardinal
Gibbons has authorized tho following stato-
nent In reference to bio connection with
be McGlycn ease. Shortly after his arrival
l j Rome, in February last, Cardinal Gib
bons, in an anditnee with the holy father,
requested by bis holiness to ask Dr.
McGlynn to come to Romo. Next day the
Cardinal complied with the instructions of
the holy father, but as he did not know
Dr. McGIynn's address, ho wrote a letter to
Dr. Bartzei, because ho regarded
him as a friend of Dr. McGlynn.
Some weeks latter Cardinal Gibbons
received a reply from Dr. Bnrtzol giving
reasons and excuses why McGlynn did not
go to Rome. As the answer from Bnrtzol
was addressed not to Cardinal Simeoni bnt
to Cardinal Gibbons himself, the Intter
saw no reason for handing tho letter to
the propaganda. However, far from "sup
pressing" its contents ho was very careful
to communicate them to the Cardinal
feet of the propaganda. It may bo added
that Cardinal Gibbons was in no way an
thorized to act as an intermediary between
McGlynn and Lis archbishop, and, there
fore, scrcpnonsly avoided interfering in n
matter which he bad no direct concern and
his visit to Rome bad qnite a different
purpose.
While tho Cardinal, In common with
the prelates of tbo oonntry, was aniions, in
the interest ol edneation ■ and religion, to
see a university established in this country,
he has abstained from giving his vote in
favor of any particular locality. Tho Car

In reply to a question by Mr. Hill, in

legality ot taking this money, or told him
that he had reoeived $25. He would have

Cob Towers stated that the first trouble
bad with Bondurant was years ago, when
he had a contract with Lowe and a oamp

Washington, September 9 —The mem
bers of the Medical Congress were photo
graphed tn a group this morning on the
Homb portico and steps cf the treasury
building.
President Davis called the general session
of the oongreas to order at 10 o'clock, and
Dr. Hamilton read tbo report of tho com
mittee representing all nationalities ap
pointed to select the time and place for
holding tho tenth international oongr si.
The committee was organized by the emo
tion of Dr. Sommola, of Italy, as chairman
and Dr. Asake, of Baoharest, Ronmania, as
ncrqtary. It was resolv'd that the oon-
grtas bo held In the year 1890. The resolu
tion encountered but one adverse vote.
The congress unanimously ratified the ac
tion of tho committee.
Dr. Hamilton read a report ombodyiDg
tho resolutions adopted by tho seotion on
military and naval' surgery and medicine.
The resolutions were based upon a paper by
Df. Juatpu It. -v-.t thi'-r r.rtvn-.vt
tor to asoertoin who fired the shots. The
inspector refosed to make any such in.

he om identify the constable who killed

ion that Riordan was not killed 1

tbo lnnzzla of a c mine. Fitty-fonr con
stables were treated for slight it juries.
Mltcbellstown is quiet to-night. Dillon
remains there, but Labouchere has gone to
Cork. Tbe persons killed were sn old
man named lllordan, a resident ot the
locality, and an elderly cabman from For-
moy. Tbe injuries reoeived by the polioe
oonslst principally cf aoalp wounds and
bruises.
The London News this morning says
Coercion waa not long in bearing its bit
terest fruits. Tne government meant to
provoke bloodshed in Ireland and blood has
been shed In perfect wantonneas and butch

Tho Boat saya: Tbe Uitchellatown affair
shows the necessity for the foil application
of tho crimes act to prevent such meetings
altogether.
The Times says: The blood of (he
Uitchellatown vlotims is on tho heads of
O'Brien, Davitt and Lxbaqchere, whose in
flammatory and cynical language drove
men against the muzz'ea of rifles. This
teaches the people that although their
leaders have amusement and profit, the
people pay for it with their akina.
The Btandard hopes that tbe speotscle at
Mltcbellstown will convince Labonchere
and Binnner of the good whither their
steps tend, before it is too late, or they will
be held guilty for suffering which other
wise will ensile.
