BACKS Of SHIVERING PRISONERS
ringing Cups Feel Hand OF Delaware Justice at the Post
and PiIlory Administered in Freezing Weather at
the County Workhouse Today

Twenty lashes were administered TO him
and he was led into the workhouse where
he will remain for Two years.
Richard Tiernoy, the only white man
whipped was then manaciej 20 the post
and received fifteen lashes. He took the
first Two or three impassiveiy enough, but
all the others brought forth a groan Of
pain. although he tried hard to suppress
them.
William Bolden. colored. took his fifteen
lashcs without any outward show of pain
except the cringng and twitcting OF
muscles that always precede the fall OF
the lash.
Charles Cooper, colored. received ten
!ashes that did not appear to teuse him
much pain.
As the first blow fell upon the back of
Dantei Hartshorn he began a war dance
around the post which conuinued through
out the twenty lashes he receiveSts Two
years in tho workhouse awaits him to be
served.
The manner IN which John Reason, a
giant negro received fifteen lashes was
commented upon by all present and even
Warden Meserve smiled at the end Of the
whipping at the co6T way he took his
punishment. He stood erecrly Off from the
post and never whinced ss-1he thongs cut
into his back
The whipping did not appear to be as
severe as formerly. The back OF Tierney
showed the marks more plainly than the
others. but that was probably because hs
was the only whsse man lashed.
The punishment OF Charles johnson
which was TO have taken place this
morning was deferred until next Saturday

Finished Fibre.

For the second time within four years
the plant OF the Delaware Hard Fibre
