Mewborne Feared Summerell's Doings

Would Hurt the Party.
The first of these witnesses put ON the
stand was Mr.. Russell. His evidence
was given in such a manner as to
convince the committee that he was tell
ing the whole truth.
Asked if he had in the penitentiary
any convicts that had served on Sum
merelPs farm, he replied that he had,
and named Joe Macon, Henry Cowan,
John Terry. Robert Ballard, Ben Field,
Eugene Sides, Chalmers Plot, and Chas.
Wilson.
Have you heard any OF these pris-
oners complain of their treatment under
Summerell?"

Ibid you ever have any prisoners TO
come here with marks on them from
whipping?"
"a year ago last June white boy
named Tom Brown came from North
ampton farm, having just been dis
charged and he was about to show to
the other prisoners the marks made by
the whippings Summerell had given him.
| heard him talking and went out in
time to stop him. / told Superintendent
Mewborne and he said that would never
do to let him go on that way. He told
me to fake him off and examine him.
took him to the hospital steward and
let him examine him. He found sores
and marks ON his body. i asked him
how long he'd been whipped and he
said two weeks. / gave him his din
ner and we made up purse and sent
him off.
Il wanted to get him away, and was
doing it to shield Summerell as much
as possible against these complaints
did Mewborne complain to you that
it would never do to let these things gel
out. that it would injure the party!
.'Ie told me to write Summerell a
letter and tell him TO stop. ! dor,
know that he said it would hurt the
PARTY. but we all knew we were in the
midst of a campaign and that it would
injure us"

GAMES TODAY

The Senators lost two games yesterday
to the Colonies. each by a close score. Had
they got what was coming to them they
should have won the first game. The Sec
ond was won by Louisville on lucky
ree-bagger in the sixth.
In the opening contest Roy Evans pitched
fine ball and would no doubt have landed a
victory had it not been for Fred Clarke's
tricky play at second in knocking the ball
from Sheibeck's hands, which the umpire
failed to see, and which would have started
double play that would have retired the
side without run instead of allowing
them to score the two tallies necessary to
win.
While the Senators have lost four
straight to the Kentuckians, the scores
show they were in the game, and had the
luck broken even would have won at least
two of the four games played. Today will
be the last of the series with the Colonels
for this season. Game will be called at 4
O'Clock. sharp. The scores:
