Raleigh, N. c.. Sept. IS
The Legislative Investigating
Committee has adjourned tt
meet here at subsequent date.
The investigation of the treat
lnent of convlcts by prison of
hcials is at an end.
Every charge preferred
against Lewis Su1nmerell, the
manager of the Northampton
farm, has been proven, and the
examination has developed
SHOCKING instances of cruelty
perpetrated by Summerell that
were never dreamed of.
What action the committee
will take is not known, but there
is d little doubt that demand
will be made for Summerells
removal.
What weight a demand from
the committee will have remains
to be seen. Governor Russell de>
manded Summerell's removal,
but without avail. Captain Day,
the superintendent of the prison,
not only de6es the executive
officer of the State, but also the
entire people OF the State.
