The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1883-02-07

Thompson, who was working in the shoe
shop, complained OF being sick, was kept at
work, had to be sent to the Hospital finally,
and died in sax days. William Brandon,
who complained of being sick, was kept at
work up to the last minute, and died five
DAYS after he was admitted to the Hospital.
At this point the witness was interrupted
by Warden Brush, who exclaimed: "Let
him 20 on, there can not be many more"
The witness retorted: THAT makes forty
three during your administration" and he
then went on with the details oi
the terrible story. and gave the names
of several other prisoners who had been
driven to insanity by ''paddling" and over
work. Arthur A. Hessler, who had been a
convict in Sing Sing, Auburn and Clinton
Prisons, read description of i'll treatment
and torture that he said were visited on
him in Clinton Prison, chiefly by Keep
err Haggerty, who padded him, starved him,
put him in the dark dungeon, took away
his shoulder brace and cane go that he wa;
unable to walk. and compelled him to cal
rats and mice for the diversion of the keep
ers. Another testified that the impression
was that all the old cows that died in West
chester County were bought for Sing SING
Prison. He heard the chief cook ordered tC
take meat out of the swill barrel and keep il
to be served the next morning. Wher
Myers hanged himself and the fact was com
municated to Hall Keeper Scripture, h'
said, Let him hang and be - Myers wa!
left hanging while the men were takeI
from their cells, although life was not ex
tinct"
Jules Columbian testified that two prison
ers received SIS blows each with the pad
die"
If these oruelties had been perpetrate6
anywhere else in the country some OF the
New York papers would have urged the
General Government to suppress them, and
punish the guilty and inhuman monsters
that is, spell Nation with a big IN" as the
Chevslier Halstead says. 1t reads very
like hell with big Oh" Perhaps Mrs Har
riet Beecher Stowe might gather now some
material for companion volume to 'Uncle
Toms Cabin"

NEW YORK PENIrENr1ARY IDYLs.

The revelations made in New York City
within the last few days, relating to the
treatment of convicts in the Penitentisries
of that State, quite equal the fortunes and
helleries of anything we read of in the dark
ages of the worlds history. Considering the
pretensions of the religious and social civil
lization of our time, this New York chapter
outrivals Bastile experiences an d the KIN
dred deYilsowns of earlier and crueler times.
The New York press make few comments
upon these outrages. Perhaps if the con-
Victs were black and the Penitentiaries To-
Gated in some Southern State, the smoke of
its wrath would be dense and roll heaven
ward. Here is some sworn testimony. 1t
is horrible:
Michael Lawless, who was sent up for twenty
five years Tor burglary and assault ate mpted 70
escape. and was padded, placed In cell and
chained to the q or for ten months, when he be-
came raviug maniac, and was sent to the Au-
burn Lunatc Asylum There were twelve men
who were made insane by similar harsh punish
ment from August 1873, TO February, 1850. The
witness had seen men killed by imprisonment In
what is known as the SCREEN cell. These cells
were lifted with sides perforated with holes one
eighth or one sixteenth of an inch in diameter.
which were the only apertures for air and light.

cells without having been made Insane. The
principal keeper, James Noon. said that some OF
tne men should not gel OUT OF the screen cen
alive. Thomas Hicks was kept eight months in

resisted it and he was shot dead.
Another prisoner was confined for months
In a stone dungeon, chained to ring in the

kindly allowed him q sprinkle OF saw dust
He finally became insane. A

HERE is a strange case: A woman who has
been in the Georgia Penitentiary eighteen
years on life sentence is to be released by
Governor Aleck Stephens. He would par
don her if be knew what to pardon, but the
fact Is that nobody knows what she is in
there for. There is no record of her mis-
deeds on the Prison register, and the woman
herself does not know why she is impris-

coin and bullion are shown to be over

the conclusion that the gold and silver pro-

600, coo yea of which the Treasury could
accumulate at least $so,0OO,0 1000 year, and
this would in the short space of Ave years

The Elephant Who Did not See the Jok,

The Elephant Who Did Not See the Joke.
Rev. Mr.. Watson gives a very curious
story in illustration of this animals wonder
full long memory of a wrong suffered. One
of those pests of society, "a practical Joker"
visited q caravan in a West of England Fair
and tried his stupid tricks upon an elephant
there. He first doled out to it, one by one,
some gingerbread nuts, and when the CRATE
full animal was thrown off Its guard he prof
fered it large parcel wrapped in paper
The unsuspicious creature accepted and
swallowed the lump, but Immediately began
TO exhibit signs of intense suffering, and
snatching up bucket handed it to the
keeper for water. This being given to it, it
eagerly swallowed quantities of the fluid.
"HaI' cried the delighted joker, III guess
those nuts were a trifie hot, old fellow"
'You had better be off, exclaimed the
keeper, unless you wish the bucket at your
head" The fool took the hint only Just in
time, for the enraged animal having finished
the sixth bucketful, hurled the bucket at its
tormentor with such force that had he lin
gered moment longer his life might have
been forfeited. The affair had not, how
ever. yet concluded. The following
year the show revisited the same
town. and the foolish joker, like
men of his genius. unable to profit by
experience, thought to repeat his stupid
trick on the elephant. He took two lots of
nuts into the show with him-sweet nuts in
one pocket and hot in the other. The ele-
plant had not forgotten the Nest played
upon him, and therefore accepted the cakes
very cautiously. AT last the Joker proffared
hot one; bat no sooner had the injured
creature discovered its pungency than it
seized held of its persecutor by the coat
tails, hoisted him up by them, and held him
until they gave way, when he fell to the
ground. The elephant now INSPECTED the
severed coat tails, which, after he had dis
covered and eaten all the sweet nuts, he
tore 10 rags and flung after their discounted
owner.

g YOUR BLONDE DARLING"

A man at Albert Lea, MINI, had the
worst time explaining a telegram to his
wife. He is a sporting man who does 8
deal Of fishing and hunting, and he had
pair ofrubber wading stockings which
he wore when hunting In marshes. A
friend ofhis wanted pair of them and
he promised to send to New York and
get them. The two men were great
friends and the man who had been
promised the stockings, and who lived
at North Branch, got ready to go hunting
last fall and wanted them, so he tele-
graphed to his Albert Lea friend as
follows:
"Send nay stockings at once, as I need
them bad.
"YoUR BLONDE DARLING"
The dispatch came to the mans res
idence, and Shis wife opened it, and her
hair stood up straight. When the inno-
cent husband came home she put on a
refrigerator expression, and handel him
a pair Of her own old stockings done up
in a paper and told him he better send
them to his blonde darling at North
Branch. He was taken all of heap
and asked her what she meant, and said
he had no blonde darling at North
Branch, and after he had said he did not
know a woman anywhere and never
thought Of supplying stockings to any
body but his wife, she handed him the
telegram. He scratched his head,
blushed, and then thought she had him,
but finally he laughed right out loud,
and went to his room where he kept his
guns and things and brought out the
new pair Of rubber wading stockings
that ne had bought for his friend, each
of which would hold bushel of wheat,
and handed them to his wife and asked
her how she thought they would look
ona blonde darling. Then he told her
they were for his sporting friend of the
male persuasion, and she asked his par
don. but insisted that the telegram had
bad look on the face oft, and was enough
to scare any wife out of her wits and
stockings. The wading stockings were
expressed to the friend with letter
telling him to be mighty careful how
he telegraphed.

though Aunt Sue chimes in with ma,
and says not to mind what pa says, COZ
he'll just says that for pure cussed spite.

they can never find anything, not even q
