Sidney Burrows, Of East Liverpool,
who was recently received at the pen
to serve two years for cutting with in
tent to wound, got himself into serious
trouble Monday. Burrows with Gus
Stackhouse, two year forger from
washington county, stole IS sides" OF
tobacco wrappers, which they hid IN
their clothes.
LAYING ON THE PADDLE.
Both men work in the cigar shop and
the theft was easy. Deputy Warden
Wells disposed of both cases. Burrows
was given a sound beating with the
paddle and was also forced to submit
to the hose bath, which has Its un-
pleasant features.
The paddle operation Is more inter-
esting to an onlooker than the partici-
pant. The victim, clothed only in ma
ture's garb, is strapped over a table,
face downward, and man who knows
how, applies the paddle The wielder
of the paddle pauses occasionally to
dip his weapon in a bucket OF salt
water, which seems to give additional
zest to his work when he resumes
When the hose is used the prisoner
is fastened in a chair and strong
stream Of water Is sQuirted into his
face, producing partial strangulation
Burrows was "docked" four days
good time-which will be restored If he
is not reported for the same offense
in 30 days-and also given a fancy
prison haircut and 20 demerits.
