in which chains. whipping post, ropes clubs, etc..
made up most of the furniture. For trivial offence
he taken into the chamber Overpowered stripped
naked and chained TO post. One chain about the
neck almost stTangled him. His father then took
needle and punctured him from head to foot until
the blood flowed freely Then the inhuman parent
took bottle of whiskey and rubbed the liquor into
cation and when he reganed consciousness was still
chained up and still naked lie released by
his sister, who subsequently chained up for the
offence. The boy complained TO the police and the old
man arrested and the story proven 10 be true.
The lad returned home. Emil Guenther age

TO tell the authorities what lie had suffered before he
had left home. 1t was shown that he had been chained
up for days at tme beaten and tortured in the most
horrible lie left home when he was fifteen.
Yesterday he returned to his married sister and
the father hearing that he in the house. came IN
rage and ordered him out. He started to go and on
the way through the chamber where he and his sisters
brothers had been tortured he picked hatchet
