CASE FOR PRISON
BEFORE COMMITTEE
Superintendent Mann Offers
Rebuttal Testimony.
BLAME ON INDIVIDUALS
p.
bmmittee Says II is Satisfied That Sufficient
y Food Was Furnishf d---case for
Prism Well Handled
Yesterday.

Rebuttal testimony in the invcStga-
ton of the charges of cruelty against
the management of the State Peniten-
tiary was offered by Superintendent Mann
at the session of the legislative investi-
eating committee yesterday afternoon,
and the entire corps of guards and stew
ards in charge of the prisoners on their
march from Spruce Pine to Marion were
introduced, with the result that deniaIs
were offered to almost every statement
offered by the prosecution at Marion THIS
week. That the roads were in bad con-
dition and that there were NUMBER OF
men who claimed to be exhausted was
admitted, but the inhumane treatment
was denied.
An important feature of the session
yesterday was the announcement by the
committee that they are satisfied that
the food furnished the men was album
dant, and that this point will not be
considered in their report, at any rate
they told Superintendent Mann that he
need not submit Il statement of the ra-
items furnished and announced their sat
isfactioa on this score.
On the other hand the committee paid
very especial attention to the testimony
showing that coffee was not given the
Convicts ct supper at Marion or for
breakfast en- route the next morning and
the fault for this was placed upon him.
self by the camp steward. In addition to
this the committee made especial inquiry
into the failure of the man sent forward
to arrange cars, to have the cars heated
before the arrival of the coDvicts. Appar-
entity the investigation is narrowing down
TO point where the subordinates who
were at fault are being singled out This
is not what the committee says but the
straws fly that way.
1t is stated by member of the COM
mittce that the report to the Legisla-
ture will not be ready before the last
of next week.
The committee met at $3.50 o'clock in
the office OF superintendent Mann anc
Immediately the introduction of wit
nesses for the defense began. Supern-
tendent Mann conducted his own exami-
rations, invariably asking the witness his
present occupation and then turning the
witness over to the committee. Each
member of the committee took part in
intcrrogating the witnesses.
