sickening story of brutality
chat has yet come to light at
Chickan,auga. Captain o.
Conner of the Ninth New
York. related this story to the
correspondent:
The captain said that he had
taken an interest in the case
of NUNS, since he was trans
Mrred to the ambulance corps
from the regiment TO which
the captains belongs. NUNS,
He said, was from New York
City. He was OF good family,
well off in his own right, his
family rich. He was 81 years
old and robust. Nunns had
been sick only five days, when
he died last Saturday and the
corpse was given no attention
until Monday. No ice was
used; an autopsy had been
held, the man being split open,
and the flaps of the stomach
and bowels laid back. The
body was covered with insects,
horribly fy.blown and mag
COTS were crawling over the
body and out of the eyes and
ears. The doctors. on being
asked why they had not mott
fed the mans family, said they
left it for his captain to attend
to. Then the captain and
doctors had a wrangle as to
which was to blame. Being
asked why the body was not
dressed. the doctors said the
man hadno clothes. did he
come here naked?" asked
Captain O'Connor. No
sir; but he had no clothes.
When thep heard that the at
eention of Governor Black of
New York would be called to
the matter when he arrived
here, asuit of clothes was IN
found, the body was
sponged off and dressed and
fixed for the undertaken care.
The remains oil the dead SOL
right against tent full
of sick. The efluvia from the
body were something fearful.

Too many people are inclined to
think that law is q force in itself-that
an ordinance once put on the books
ought to be its own court and witnesses
and public prosecutor. Somehow or
dinauces are not built that way. 1t is
often n hard fight to get law on the
statute books or to have an ordinance
passed by the city administration. But
the hardest fight comes when the law
or ordinance is required to be enforc-
ed. a certain class OF ordinances are
rigidly enforced. These are the or
dinsnces granting valuable franchises
to corporatious-to railways for side
tracks; to telephone companies TO erect
poles. Why are these carried out so
strictly? Because the interested par
ties who asked for them use every ef-
fort to take advantage of their priv
ileges-and usually are inclined to go a
little farther than they ought. Anoth-
er class OF laws and ordinances are
hard to enforce. These are the law
and order regulations. Why are these
hard to enforce? Because the parties
VINO demanded them are not interested
enough to see personally to their en-
forcement. The organized work tina, is
done in connection with these is done by
the agencies opposed to their enforce
ment. Their enemies are active, their
friends are apathetic; the authorities
whose business ii is to enforce them will
goevery time TO the stronger side. Pub
lie officers take oaths to enforce the
law. They disregard these oaths as q
rule until q force arises to compel them
to act upon them, a force stronger
than the power which urges in the
other direction. Therefore, to get the
city and county officers to enforce the
laws, right public sentiment must be
organized and it must be aggressive.
These two are more requisite by far
than nero numbers.
