done to ferret out the facts in cases

Tertiary according to the report for '95
fifty-four colored men we're serving

thirty six for rape. How many. ex-

WHAT HE WANTED.

The boy, whoever he was, evidently
wanted something to eat from her
lunch basket as the first question he
asked was for something to eat. The
girls all positively declared that Sa-
dies clothing was not torn at all as
had been told in the papers. The
brother-in-law mentioned as having
gone to Sadie's relief told me that he
was not there, neither did he know
anything about it until afterward.
accom- panied Sadie and one Of the 9TH
er girls to the witness stand and heard
their testimony which was substantial
ly what they had already told me The
District attorney and the lawyers
show ed the greatest possible bitter
ness toward the prisoner and were de-
termined as the boy had not been
lyncbed at once, that he should hang.
1t was in vain that the boys rela-
tives st whose house he had BEEN liv-
ing, testified that he was at home the
hour the assault was alleged to have
been committed. The jury after being
out a short time brought in q verdict
of guilty of attempted criminal assault
His mother with bundle of clothing
upon her arm for her boy stood beside
him throughout the trial and heard hit

sentence Il was sitting beside~the boy

A VIVID PICTURE.

AS soon as Comley could disengsge
himself from Sadie, he gave chase to
the fleeing Negro. Through fiel1s and
woods the race between svil-doer and
avenger continued, Hawkins setting a
hot pace, but Comley kept on and by
superior endurance overlook his chase

us see what the boys future prospects
are, The Peni entiary Report for 1895
shows that there are over sixteen hun
dred convicts. Two hundred work on
the farm outside of the prison twelve
hundred male convicts are confined in
less than two hundred cells inside the
prison. In some of the cells from
twenty to thirty are confined in each.
The young and the old. the sick and
