The old-time custom of whipping prison.
ers convicted of minor crimes was revived
this morning at the station house, when
Wesley Redd, jr, small colored youth OF
twelve years. received on his naked back
twenty lashes, vigorously applied by the
muscular arm of Wesley Redd. ST., father
of the cuprt. The whipping took place in
the corridor of the station house in the
presence of several police officers, who
were there to see the work well done. The
execution of justice was accompanied by
the usual paternal reprimands and warn
ings. to which the bystanders literally con-
tributed.
Wesley was arraigned before Mayor
Simpson this morning complaint of MIR.
Edgar Warfield, charged With stealing
eight dozen of eggs from the premises OF
the complainant.
Investigation by the officers showed that
d part of the stolen property had been dis
posed of to a grocer Mayor Simpson or
to Mr.. Warlield and imposed a fine of 50
on the boy, with the alternative of
thrashing. When Wesley Redd, ST., was
notified he readily consented to administer
the chastisement, expressing himself as
highly pleased with an arrangement whefe-
by he could avoid the payment of fine.

ture an act was passed providing for this
method of punishment for children under
