"DiAMcND QUEEN" LAsHED.
Mamie DeCris Whipped at Prison Farm
For Insubordination,


For INSTRUMENTATION.
Atlanta. August 8.-Mamie DeCris
young, pretty and ultivated-though
a cOnvict-has been put under the
lash at the state prison farm at Mil
ledgeville and beaten into submission
This took place last June, but the
matter has been kept a secret until
the present. How long it might have
remained unknown is matter Of con
lecture; the approaching date for elect
ing a superintendent of the farm Is
responsible for the fact being known
now.
Mamie DeCris, 1t will be remember
ed, was the young woman who last
winter gained considerable notoriety
as q much wanted diamond thief-he1
adventures gaining her the nickname
Diamond Queen"
She was formerly stenog
rapher III Savannah and was accus
toned TO ali atmosphere of refinement
and luxury. She became concerned
in several thefts of diamonds in Sa
v@n&ah. Her al Aaat in Atlanta and
subse uent trial and conviction In he1
home city are well known to the gen
eral public.
It now develops that she was insub
ordinate snd that, to conquer her, a
prison official, after a doctor had said
she was strong enough to survive a
beating, laid the lash to her until she
was conquered.
There are rumors now extant that
Superintendent K. R. Foster, of the
farm, Is not to be reelected by the
prison commission this month, his
term OF office expiring Jan. l, 1904
He may be reelected or may not, but
whatever action the prison icomrads
sion takes place will not be governed
by the whipping of Mamie DeCris, fol-
under the present term prison regu
lati0ns that was not improper.
