RBFORMATORY ABUSES
More Damaging Evidence Against
Superintendent BroOkway,
BRUTAL TREATMENT OF A BOY.

HandeufTed TO a Ring in a Cell for Seven
Days and Confined in the "Rest Cure"
for seventy-two Days-Kickod In the
Face by Brockwhy.
ELMIRA, n. Y, July 25.-At yesterdays
session of the Reformatory investigating
committee, an ex-oonvict whose name is
omitted at the request of the commission
ers, admitted that he had lied when
charged with improper conduct, and that
he had implicated innocent men, who, he
said, were sent to Auburn and made to
serve out their maximum terms. The
witness was a respectable and intelligent
man, and proved that it was possible for
one prisoner to benefit himself to the in.
jury of others by adroit manipulation and
lying.
Frank Wallace the Auburn transfer
whose letters caused both the reformatory
investigations, is a bright looking boy,
He was punished and transferred to Au-
burn because of his refusal to tell Super
intendent Brockway where his relatives
lived, desiring to save his mother from
disgrace. Wallace again told his story,
giving the details as have already been
published He told of being hand
euffed to a ring in cell and being left
there seven days, and of being confined in
the rest cure" seventy-two days in a
screened cell, being fed on hash and bread
and water. Before beginning his testi.
mony he asked that he be sent back to
Auburn as soon as possible.
Judge Gilbert offered in evidence the
correspondence in the case between Wal.
lace, Judge Seaver and Brockway, but
Mr.. Deyo admitted only the latter's let
ter. When cross-examined Wallace re
fused to answer any of the questions put
to him except that he lived in New York
city with his mother, and that his father
was dead. Wallace admitted having at
tempted to escape from the police court in
Buffalo when sentenced by jumping from
a three story window and receiving in
juries from which he has not yet fully re
covered. Witness said that while sitting
in a chair on the guard room floor Mr.
Brockway kicked him in the face.
Judge Seaver, of Erie county, who sen
fenced Wallace to the reformatory, was
called. Judge Gilbert again attempted
to introduce the entire correspondence il
the case, but all was excluded save tn,
letter from the prisoner to Judge Seaver

PARIS, July 25.-In the chamber Of dep
uties during the discussion of the clause
in the governments anti-anarchist meas.
ure, providing for restriction being
placed upon the reports published Of the
trials of anarchists, Deputy Denoix re-
marked that the press should not be con.
sidered a privileged trade. Thereupon
the newspaper men present in the gallery
raised such disturbance that the presi.
dent of the chamber ordered the gallery
to be cleared. Later the press representa-
tives were invited to return, but declined
to do so. The newspaper men drew lots to
decide who should challenge NJ. DenoiX.
