BRocKWAY's DEFENSE.

In the Elmira investigation case the
state closed the prosecution Thursday,
ana the Trustees We're given until Sept.
TO begin the defense. The next meet

Fifth Avenue Hotel on that day

of the institution and the humanity Of
Brockway They will assail the testl-
mony for the prosecution on the ground
that the witnesses are bad prisoners
who have been punished for their Of
lenses. AMI have IA revengcful feeling
against Brockway.
But they overlook the fact that they
excluded all evidence that was conilrma-
tory OF the stories OF the tortured VIC
tins. on the plea that II was not " di-
rect " and would not be admitted In a
murder trial where an assassin was be-
ing tried for his life.
They will also plead that the punish
ments were not cruel and inhuman."
Not cruel, when the victims stood be-
fore the Commission crippled or other
wise injured for life? Not inhuman.
when human beings were thrown into
lark cells, chained to posts and bars
like wild beasts and kept there without
change Of position ard almost with
out food for many days?
The case is one In which no defense
is possible. unless the vilest tortures
that can be inflicted on the human form
are excusable. and unless the days of
thumbscrews and the rack were days OF
love and humanity.
