William Jones' the convict who committed sui
eide in Caldwell penitcntary on Christmas
morning. by hanging himself in a dungeon cell
The presentment said that Jones had been con-
fined in the cell iO3 days because he refused to
break stone: that he was chained to iron rings,
bucked and gagged and beaten: that heavy
irons and manacles were kept on his limbs until
he died. and that he was otherwise cruelty
treated. Judge Depue plainly told the Grand
Jury that an indictment should have been found
lie said that he would present the subject to the
next Grand Jury. At their meeting in January
