TWO DADE CO. CITIZENS BROUGHT
INTO LIMELIGHT OF PUBLICITY
BY JOEL HURT IN CONNECTION
WITH TIIE CONVICT INVESTIGA
TION.
Dr. Brock who Was camp physi
cian at Cole City and Duke Brock
who was the camp warden are the
citizens referred to.
(Fiom Tuesdays Constitution.)
Joel Hurt of Atlanta next took
the witness stand. In the course
of his testimony concerning the
operations in which he was en
gaged in securing convicts for his
various industrial enterprises he
rtated that his company paid Dr.
-J. Ft. Brock SSO or $75 a month as
•camp physician in addition to the
'salary he received as a state officer.
Witness said tins was known to
the prison commission and they
also knew that wardens and other
convict officers throughout the
state received pay from lessees.
Mr. Hurt declared he did not
know this was a violation of the
rules, or he would nut have con
tinued the practice in the case of
Dr. Brock, to whom he had felt
very friendly in the past.
He said the fact that tie was
paying an extra salary to Dr.
Brock was made known to the
prison commission by him in con
nection with an epidemic ofscurvy
which broke out in the Georgia
Iron & Coal company camp and
disabled a large percentage of the
men tor several months. Witness
had visited the camp in response
to urgent requests fiom his men
that something had been done and
had consulted Dr. Brock. The
latter deed a red the mines were un
sanitary and this caused the ex
cessive illness among the men.
Mr. Hurt then appealed to the
prison commission to make an in
vestigation and to secure some
physician of national reputation j
for the work. Tnis they declined
to do and Mr. Hurt at his own ex- i
pense secured Dr. R. M. (•uuning
ham, who was retained as the chief
physician by the state of Alabama
and afterwards was lieutenant gov
ernor of the state. I)r. Cunning
ham made an examination of the
property and reported that the,
sen ivy was caused by the diet pre
scribed by t’m state. He advoca
ted leaving off some of the pre
scribed food and replacing these
: rticl s with fresh vegetables. This
coiuse was followed and all of the
men immediately recovered and
werea healthy lot thereafter.
BIiOCK INCOMPETENT.
Mi. Hut: 4 1 iecail <ne in
stance. We had much troub’e at
(’oal City. Duke Brock was drunk
most of Hit tone and used his pis
tol promiscuously. He was so in
<p>li:pf teut and so dissipated that
the place v\ as den:ornlized. We
count not get (fficici i ,-e, vice and
the ii.oi v.e h o t mjii ipci vv< r*
threatening to run away because
of Dukes dissipation.
“I went to Dr. Brock the l rother
of Duke Brock and asked if he
could not get Duke to resign, 1
didnot'want to complain to the
prison commission but conditions
were intolerable, and our men had
notified me that they would go
away if Brock did not resign or
quit drinking liquor. Dr, Brock
and I were very friendly and-I laid
the case before him very plainly.”
Witness went on to state that
Dr. Brock did not cooperate in
having his brother removed, de
claring that it would cause trouble
in the family between himself and
his mother and sister. He said ! e
then called on Judge Turner and
after waiting for some time for the
latter to act called again. Con
tinuing he said :
“As it was of the utmost impor
tance to get some one who would
handle the convicts properly, I
called on Jim English through
whom some of the convicts had
been leased. I knew lie was the
man for me to talk to. He agreed
to help me get rid of Brock. I
asked: What are you going to
do about it?” He said I will send
him to another camp.
“Using the possessive pronoun’ 5
interrupted Mr. Chandler.
“Yes sir,” answered the witness.
“A short vvhiie later Mr. Conyers,
of south Georgia was assigned to
(he place. He was warden of a
camp in which Mr. English was
interested.
Mr. Brock was transferred. Bi t
before he was transferred he got
drunk in Chattanooga and go into
seiious difficulty there. The whole
matter culminated in his removal.
GOOD HEWS
AUTHORIZED
Southern Steel Reorganiza
tion Is Accomplished.
A definite statement that the
Southern Steel company had been
reorganized and that its different
plants and properties throughout
the south would soon be in opera
tion again was authorized last
night. According to a written
statement made by a member of
t3h e reorganization committee,
&in 7
complete arrangements have been
made for financing the different
enterprises of this company, arid
within a few weeks it is expected
that smoke will be seen from many
stacks throughout this ‘ section
which have been idle since last
fall.
Although the officials did not
give out any definite statement
last night as to the amount of
money involved in the reorgani
zation, or as to the number of
men who will be employed within
the next lew weeks, it is believed
that the former will run away up
in the millions of dollars, and that
many thousand men will soon be
employed The properties of the
company are extensive, and when
they were closed down last fall
many men were put out of em
ployment. It is said that the
closing down of the Southern
Steel company forced more pei
sons out of employment in tlu
south than any other two causes
during the so-called u pa'iic ,? ol
last fall.
President Woodard, of the Han
over National bank of New York
city and D. (1. Boissevain, of New
( *' '
York, chairman and seeretary,
respectively, of the reorganisation
committee, have just completed a
tour of the south, during which
they inspected every plant in i
property of the company. They
went into the reorganization work
very thoroughly and did not make
any decision until alter several
meetings of the committee had
been held in New York city. They
j were in Chattanooga for two days
last week.
The official statement from the
committee as given out List night
is as follows.
•‘ij>oking to the reor d-alloi
iof the Southern Steel co >.ny .
provided by the plan of reorgani
zation for this company and
which plan has now been assented
to by practically all the bondhold
ers, collateral trust note holders
and creditors the committee an
nounces that financial arrange
ments have been made to carry
out the plan. The committee has
paid up the overdue interest and
sinking funds on the mortgages of
the Georgia Steel company, the
Laccy-Buek Iron company and
the Chattanooga Iron and Coal
company. This prevents the dis
integration of these properties by
foreclosure suits and assures to
the new company the ownership
of these valuable properties, con
sisting among other things of 35,-
000 acres of ore lands and rights,
and 37,000 acres of coal lands and
rights, as well as a number of
modern and up to date iron and
steel works. —Ex.
