THE ATLA’NTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
JULIAN HAWTHORNE. IN
Four men sat around a table at
one of the western windows of the
srreat dining hall; one of them was a
recent arrival at the prison. * * *
TfTtf last course of dinner had been
served and the 400 friends were en
joying their coffee; a few were
smoking cigarettes, for this was
Sunday and tobacco was allowed to
all who cared for it. on that day.
The band was playing Beethoven’s
'Moonlight Sonata;" the music vi
brated softly and remotely on the
air. The hall had marked archi
tectural beauty, and the colors and
decorations were quiet but effective.
The tables were arranged with aisles
between, at the intersection of
which stood immense orange trees
and standard roses alternately.
That is the setting that Julian Haw.
thome. in what is probably his last
article for "Good Words," the maga
zine of the Atlanta Federal prison,
provides for a remarkable dialogue
between the four men on "Jails of the
Future," forecasting prison reforms.
It appears In the August number,
and is without doubt one of the best
that the noted writer has produced
since his incarceration in prison. One
of the four men is a newcomer, both
to the prison and to the country, and
to him is explained the workings of
a system that has revolutionized the
treatment of crime and changed jails
from "hells to a kind of ante
chamber to Paradise."
The dialogue is fanciful, but it un
doubtedly depicts conditions th- t
Hawthorne believes must exist when
humanity has come to recognize crime
as a disease and treat it as such.
That portion of the article that de
scribes the workings of the jails of
the future is as follows:
“No More Lawyers."
"When we found we were failing
about a million men a year, and that
the faster: the lawyers made laws, the
greater was the number of law-
breakers. some of the sane ones got
together to talk it over.
"They fixed it so that there should
be no more lawyers admitted to the
bar for 50 years, and those already
practicing should be charged 75 per
cent of their incomes in taxes. No
lawyer was eligible for election ti
any Legislature or office of public
trust.
"A body of 500 experts was set to
work revising the statutes, and they
reduced the number of them 90 per
cent. All artificial crimes—those cre
ated by laws—were cut out; only kill
ing. stealing and lying were left in.
"If these were committed owing >
congenial defects, or under abnormal
conditions, the perpetrators were nut
under medical care; if otherwise, th*
culprits were tried and sentenced, but
were given their choice of going to
jail, or carrying round their necks,
by a small steel chain, a pewter disk,
on which was engraved the crime
and the penalty. At first, nearly
everybody took the disk, but after a
few years the majority preferred th a
jail. The jails, meanwhile, had been
undergoing strange transformations,
both actual and theoretical.
"It began to be realized that the
handling of crime was the most Im
portant function of the State aad
problem of society. If even justice
were done, everybody would be n
prison, and so-called officers of jus
tice were often the worst of the lot.
Best Men as Wardens.
"Accordingly, the very best men of
the community were appointed war
dens and guards of jails. Upon elec
tion, these men were given a fre<*
hand and all the funds they wanted
to carry out their plans. All th old
jails were torn down and new' ones
built upon different principles, botn
Of construction and administration.
"In a few years ji.ils had become a
kind of universities for training men
who were found to be below the aver
age in intelligence, character or hab
its in the obligations and responsibil
ities of the best citizenship. All kinds
of trades and nrofes:ions were taught
theoretically and practically, and the
men were put to work as soon as
possible at such employment as they
selected or as were chosen as most
suitable for them.
"Along with all this was established
a system of hygiene and bodily ex
ercise and diet somewhat resembling
the old Spartan rules instituted by
Lycurgus; and a general discipline of
mind, manners and conduct as strict
as that of West Point but more en
lightened. What had beeri a stigma
became a certificate of merit, and by
and by, instead of being sent to jail
by sentence of court, men who had
failed in life or felt themselves weak
and Incompetent voluntarily applied
for admission. For what they pro
duced they were paid good wages;
their families were supported by the
Government until the men’s earnings
could care for them."
Denounces Present Method.
In another article in the same num
ber, on "Self-Respect," Hawthorne
brands the dress and branding of
prisoners, under present-day prison
rules, and the substitution of num
bers for names as a crude anachron
ism. as are also, he says, the titles of
“convict,” "felon" and "jailbird."
“Their effect,” he writes, "is to pro
duce in the prisoner a feeling of rad
ical and permanent separation from
his fellow men. It is an attempt on
the part of finite human beings to in
flict eternal damnation on some of
their fellow creatures."
Hawthorne declares that most pris
oners mean to be good when their
term is up.
“Whether or not their resolution
holds firm.” he writes," depends part
ly upon their native strength of char
acter, but in a larger part upon the
treatment they get in Jail. Shooting
and clubbing prisoners and subjecting
them to torture has proved unsuc
cessful in leading them toward sweet
ness and light. Need for the actual
club and gun may arise in an emer
gency, but the more firm and uniform
the discipline, founded, as all disci
pline should be, on enlightened prin
ciples of order and efficiency, the less
likely Is such emergency to occur.”
Slaying of Rooney
Another Chapter in
Fend of Gamblers
BIRMINGHAM. Aug. 1.—Ed Ellis,
who late last night shot and killed
Pat Rooney, of Montgomery, when
the two met in the heart of the city,
was to-day transferred to the Jeffer
son County jail. He still contends
that while he was sorry for the kill
ing. he could not help it, self-defense
being claimed. W. B. Rooney, broth
er of the slain man, declares the kill
ing was a chapter in a feud among
gamblers and that Ellis had envy
and malice for Rooney.
Though a Birmingham man, Ellis
has been residing in Montgomery for
a year or two. In that city Rooney
killed Louis Smith, a gambler, and
was acquitted. Smith prior to that
was acquitted of the assassination
of Brooks Fuller, another gambler.
Ellis and Smith were great friends.
Pat Rooney came here two weeks
ago from Atlanta md worked for a
Northern publishing house. He and
Ellis met near the entrance to the
hotel where Ellis is stopping. As
Rooney’s body was being placed in
an ambulance a pistol fell to the
ground. W. B. Rooney denies his
brother had a pistol with him. Ellis’
mother and brother live in Birming
ham. Rooney’s body was taken to
Montgomery.

20-YEAR FUGITIVE
James Hogg Will Be Tried for
Death of South Georgia
Man in 1893,
BUENA VISTA, Aug. 1.—James
Hogg, who with his brother, Floyd
Hogg, is charged with the murder of
Dave Shippy, 20 years ago, has jus:
been arrested and placed in jail here.
The brothers, with their father,
Lewis Hogg, were indicted in April,
1893. The father was captured, tried
and freed. The two boys escaped
for a score of years, being fugitives
from justice. Some weeks ago it
was learned that James Hogg had
returned to this section and a reward
was offered for his capture. Officers
crowded him so close that he sur
rendered.
The killing took place about five
miles from Buena Vista, and was the
result of a drunken fight. Most of
the witnesses in the case are dead.
Hogg’s wife, after his escape, mar
ried again and is now living in
Macon.
The prisoner talks interestingly of
his experience. Time after time the
officers were upon him, on two occa
sions shooting holes through his
clothes. During the Spanish-Ameri
can war he joined the army, went to
Cuba, and remained until the close.
He claims to have been in twenty-
eight States.
Hogg will be tried at the October
term of court.
Fire Alarm System
Nearing Completion
Work on the new fire and police alarm
signal system is being rushed by the

gal.
Fire Chief Cummings speaks favorably
of the new system, believing it will
mean the saving of many thousands of
dollars. The total cost of the new sys
tem will be $106,000

Campaign of Law Enforcement
Advocates Hinges on Pending
Injunctions.
MACON. Aug. 1.—If Judge
Mathews to-day sustains the injunc
tions against the four saloons and so
cial clubs that are charged by the
Law Enforcement League with being
public nuisances in that they are
blind tigers, a campaign will be un
dertaken to close every saloon in the
city. Petitions for injunctions against
every one of the saloons and clubs
have been prepared in anticipation of
Judge Mathews making the present
restraining orders permanent.
In addition to having to answer the
petition for injunction the four sa
loon men must show cause to-day
why they should not be punished for
contempt of court. They are charged
withhaving sold intoxicating liquors
after being enjoined not to make such
sales. The question of whether beer
containing 5% per cent of alcohol is
intoxicating is an issue in the case.
However, the Law Enforcement
League officials claim to have evi
dence of whisky sales against thirty-
four saloons.

DALTON, Aug. 1.—Judge Fite to
day sentenced Dan Hatfield, convicted
of the murder of Will Parish, and
Clem Poole, convicted of murdering
’’Policeman Harry Cook to the peniten
tiary for life.
In the Hatfield case he held there
was doubt as to the existence of a
conspiracy, and exercising the right
where conviction comes from circum
stantial evidence alone did not pasu
the death sentence, as was expected
from the jury’s refusal to recommend
mercy.
John and Tom Nlcodemus, indicted
with Hatfield, were released on their
own recognizance, the outcome of the
Hatfield case not showing enough evi
dence to convict them.
Convicted in Four Days.
Poole was found guilty Thursday
night, the jury making a recom
mendation for mercy. The verdict
was returned twelve hours after the
trial began. The evidence was com
pleted at 2:30 o’clock.
Poole shot and killed Policeman
Cook Sunday near midnight. Mon
day afternoon he was captured in
Chattanooga, and Tuesday afternoon
was indicted for murder. He was
convicted four days after the killing.
The case attracted approximately
1.000 people, the courtroom being
filled to its capacity.
Defense Claims Insanity.
The defense stood on a plea of in
sanity, relatives of the prisoner
swearing that for the past few
months, since his marriage. Poole had
changed greatly, and was at times
not mentally responsible for his ac
tions. The defense also contended
that Cook, being without a warrant
for Poole’s arrest on the charge of
shooting at his wife, had no right to
seize him.
The State put witnesses on the
stand who testified that they had
known Pool c for years and believed
him capable of distinguishing right
from wrong.
Gir! Wife in Court.
Witnesses testified that Poole shot
Cooke while the officer was only at
tempting to arrest him. In his state
ment, Poole said Cook wpa clubbing
him, but this was not borne out by
other testimony. The prisoner also A
said that he was attempting to get *
rid of his pistol and it was acci
dentally discharged.
Cook while the officer was only at-
with him throughout the trial, weep
ing at times. His aged father and
mother were also present.
At 5:15 o’clock Thursday after
noon, Judge Fite had completed his
charge and the case had been given
to the jury.
