thirty men who are charged with violat-
ing rules of the institution. They are
supposed to be separated from the out
side world with no communication
whatever. Yet last evening there came
to the Herald Office a long letter, writ
ten On brown wrapping paper, and
signed by thirteen of these men.
1t tells the convict story of
the recent outbreak. and asserts that
the warden is the whole cause of the
dissatisfaction existing in the prison,
and that he is totally untitled for his
position. 1t alleges that the men who
participated i'll the Bertillon demonstra-
tion by shouting, pounding with Dip
perS, ETC., were dubbed, thrustin squads
of four or six into solitary cells and de-
prived of food for fifty hours, and that
while the thermometer stood at 81 de-
grees, steam was turned into the Venti-
latoTS until the men tainted from heat
and lack of water. 1t was the severity
of this punishment for a drilling Of
fense" which caused the recent riot. In
conclusion, the letter expresses the hope
that the charges which it makes may be
Investigated.
