attribute to me the base motive of wish
ing to cloak Eyman's guilt or shiel
him from righteous condemnation G
the people of the State.
Now comes statement Of facts con
corning an Investigation by Chief Justic
Hawley and Justice Earli into tn
charges preferred by the Goyerno
against Hyman upon the relation of th'
convict Mollie Fou-shay. These charge!
embraced statements of maltreRtmenI
of the woman as a retaliation upon bel
for her evidence against the Warden.
etc. Being Intercepted as to these mat
tiers, kittrell and Minor made the fol-
lowing statement:
! That some little while before these
rumors of cruelty were bruited about we
had made an official visit to the Prison
| had inspected the cells and all other
apartments of the institution; had gone
| to the quarters set apart for and occu-
pied by Fou,shay, and hsd found her in
| a spacious, light and airy room, afford
ing a view Of the valley in front of the
prison, carpet on the floor, bedstead
and neat. comfortable bed on it, en-
broidered pillow-slips, stove and ample
fuel on hand. tables, chairs, ETC., etc,
ad E5itum. That she was employed in
embroidering two handsome morning
wrappers, designed for ladies. which she
stated she had made for sale; that the
price for each was thirty-tive dollars,
and she was anxious to dispose of them.
together with some peculiar hsir-work
which she had also made, in order to
raise money wherewith to redeem from
pawn certain jewelry which was in the
hands Of gentleman in Phoebe. We
also stated to the Judges that We made
particular inquiry as to how she was
treated, etc, and that she said she had
bat two complaints to make: one was.
that convicts had been set to watch her,
and the other was, that occasionally her
beefsteak was brought to her nth ashes
On II, having been broiled on Goals in
stead of on 4 gridiron. We might have |
further related that while we were visit |
ing this victim Of the Warden s untoward |
cruelty she was quite industrious in pet !
ting her lap dog, which she stated was |
her only comfort during the tedious
hours of her prison life.
Following this General Kit,rell says
that when the Judges came back from
an examination of the Prison, Judge
Hawley went SO far as to say tina: ii
Lyman was at fault at all, his faul. con-
sisted in treating her too WE'LL"
The Wren-Cassidy joint letter to the
Board Of Pardons, which the Governor
so disingenuously caused to be printed
N late issue of the Chronicle, Twas
set aside and not considered
y the Board when action was taken on
'ourshay's application for pardon; the
eason for thus disposing Of it being
hat it was evident that both Mr.. Wren
nd Mr.. Cassidy were laboring under
aisapprehension of material facts con-
ected with the treatment the woman
as receiving and had been receiving at I
ne Warden's hands since the investica- {

The remainder OF General Kittrell's E
is taken up with re- t
lew of the circumstances concerning t
lie appointment of Miller as guard at ,
lie Prison; Governor Bradley's failure
all times to make any official {
larges against Hyman to the Board of :
rison Commissioners; his, kittrell's, 4
tier to the Governor asking him to +
'me to the Capitol and take part in an
ves:isation, and brief recapitulation =
some of the leading facts of this n
teresting case. THE General gener- b
lsly exonerates Bradley and Garrard a
om the suspicion of knowing, before :,
md. what kind of man Miller was. fe
his concluding remarks the General
omises to agree to the publication of a. a

1t seems to us that this very exhaus- ~
e treatment of this State Prison con- be
'versy IS complete and final answer th
all the points raised or limited against .. y
majority of the Prison Board. Ger nj
My it is shown that Messrs. Minor til
hittrell have most excellent reasons TO
their course regarding Hyman; and 6,
think that our opinion will be shared
