COUNTY CHAIN GANG.
Investigation Of Alleged Cruelties
Well-Nigh Concluded By Re-
feree Dominick.

With the exception Of one witness,
DR.. W. D. Sem. whose testimony
the county attorney. Mr.. i B Hun
ter. representing County Supervisor
John NJ Schumpert, desires to be
taken. the investigation OF alleged
cruelties practiced on county chain
gang convicts was concluded by Ref
cree Fred. H. Dominick. in his office
here this morning. The investigation,
it will be recalled, is under an order
OF the last court, passed at the insti-
CATION OF the grand jury. and the
whole investigation has been conduct
ed under the suggestions OF mem
Der of the grand jury.
Several witnesses were examined
this morning. but there was no tes-
timony OF 4 startling nature. The wit
nesses had seen some whipping, but
they did not consider it excessive.
County Attorney J. B. Hunter was
present.
Ehe testimony will be reported to
the next term OF court here.
The testimony Of the witnesses ex-
amined this morning is in subsance as
follows:
Mr.. Pink tombstone. who lives
about five and half miles from New
berry. said the gang worked near
his house for about six weeks or two
months and he saw them nearly every
day. and saw only one prisoner re-
ceive any li~k, and he received one
lick wit, the drivers whip. He heard
of other whippings but did not know
OF them to his own knowledge. He
did not think they got more than they
deserved.
Mr.. Luther Bishop testified he had
seen one negro whipped not quite two
years ago by Mr.. Richardson for not
working. The negro was given
about IS lashes with wagon whip on
the body with the clothes on. The
gang at the time was in Langford's
pasture. He did not think the whip
ping too severe.
Mr.. G. H. Ligon said the gang
worked on the road towards his
home about last September. He was
around the gang a good deal. and he
saw some whipping. The convicts
were whipped with wagon whips, ex-
cept in one instance a belt was used
He didn't count the lashes. but they
ranged from to 5 and to 10 and Is
and 20. Most of them received Io
lashes. He saw one man whip eight
or ten at one time for not working
and all together got about 50 or Co.
about eight or ten each. He didn
think he ever saw convict whipped
on the bare skin. except about three
lashes given to one on the bare skin
unintentionally by Mr.. B. NJ. Koon.
The convicts in his opinion were we'll
treated. and he didn't think the pun
ishment given was more han he him
self would have administered I'M
der similar circumstances.
Mr.. George P. Boozer said the
gang was near his house for about
six weeks and he didn't see much
whipping and didn't think what he
did see unreasonable. He saw Mr..
Koon give several two or three lashes
each-one for fighting. He mex er
saw any harsh treatment.
Mr.. D. G. Livingston said the chain
gang did some work about his house
about three years ago. He didn't see
anything wrong-saw the guards
give them taps sometimes. He had
often strapped his boy as hard as
some of the convicts had been whip
ped. If he had been boss they would
have got more He had men on his
farm whom he had whipped harder
