large crowd was attracted about the jail BY
the noise of the blows and the cries Of the
victim and that persons who reside in
that neighborhood counted one hundred
and one distinct blows, which are said to
have been inflicted with paddle. They
ask that his honor will investigate the matt.
ter and adopt such regulations as wi
protect prisoners from such brutal treat
ment. The mayor has promised TO fully
investigate the subject. It is very evident
that there is no law to punish a prisoner
in any such manner, even though he has
escaped from the chain-gang and we feel
sure that the mayor will not let the matter
rest until all the facts are known.
