5. Mr.. Grimes presented the report Of tt
ssas.s s e. III. n
iugton Jail L. says the prisoners are
barbarousy treated aud half starved.
Free negroes are frequently subjected to
punishment called "cabbing," which
consists of stripping the person, throw
ing him across barrel, face downward,
tying his hands and feet together, and
whipping him with board paddle. Sew.
ersl other illegal and inhuman practices
have been discovered, perpetrated prin.
cpally by the jailor, John II. Wise, who
has since resigned. The committee say
they would be disposed to attribute this
state of things to iuadvertauce on the
part of Marshal Lamon, if they could dis.
cover any disposition to reform the abuse;
but inasmuch as he had made opposition
to and heaped iudignity upon the Senate
committee Of Jail investigation, they hold
him responsible. Lannon's order exclud.
ing members Of Congress from the Jail
is commented on in severe terms. The
committee recommended building a new
Jail, and taking the old Jail GU. Of the
Marshafs custody. Also, a general re.
vision Of the laws Of the District. 1. is
shown by tho investigation that the fees
Of the Marshal for keeping prisoners are
established by the Maryland law Of 1889,
when all fees were payable in tobacco,
which law is still in force, and the fees
have to be computed in several different
kinds of currency, and as many sums in
rule of three before being reduced to
dollars and cents.
