WAS WITNESSED BY MEN ONLY

stockade-No Sound Escaped From
Victims While Receiving Their Pun
ishment on Bare Backs.
A new state Of affairs characterized
the whippings at the New Castle coun-
" workhouse this morning. No person
who was not twenty-one years old
was allowed IN the stockade where the
lash was applied and women We're also
excluded.
However. there were three or four

about eight minutes. during which time
the following were punished:
George Armstrong. 10 lashes.
Frank Weld.n. 10 lashes.
William, alias Bunny Harris. Is
lashes.
Thomas Murphy 20 lashes.
At 1915 Murphy was placed In the
lpillory where he stolidly stood for one
hour. hardly moving a muscle.
After his time IN the pillory had ex-
pred the whipplngs began and were
rushed through by Deputy Warden
Crawford. who In the absence Of War
den Meserve. who is attending con-
lventlon OF prison wardens In Louis
willie applied the lash.
Was Dismal Scene.
The scene was dismal one. The
lleaden clouds overhead threatening to
let loose a downpour every minute and
u chill wind blowing through the
stockade which made the victims shiver
as they were brought out#rop their
warm cells with barred baoE.
There was decided Improvement
in the department OF the crowd over
that OF las. Saturday. While waiting
for the victims to be brought out q
hum OF subdued conversation passed
. over the throng. which probably NUM-
bered 200. but upon the appearance O
the prisoners death-like silencl
. reigned and the resounding thud Of IN
r cat-'o-nine tails as it fell upon tn
i backs OF the unfortunates could b
n plainly heard In an parts Of tn

Placed to the credit of the Cincinnati
ccount But, it is alleged, Mrs
ohnson would charge the New York
flee account with $4,000, taking the
lfference herself To make the ac
cunts balance she would then raise
