PRISONERS WERE ABUSED.
Testimony In House OF Correction In.
yestigation Hearings.

The commission appointed TO lnvesti''
gate state institutions resumed work
ON the house of correction at Rutland
Wednesday. Philip Petrie, an ex'
prisoner who was IN the asylum once,
testified Yesterday 10 many cases Of
ill.treatment of prisoners for trivial
offenses. He claimed that there was
immoral conduct between the prison
ers who were thrown together on
wash day and that the men and women
often communicated by means of
notes. He claims one Charles Rugg
was suspended by the arms IL hours
because he would not work and that
the cells were filthy, and one section
was mopped only four times in three
years. Petrie testified Wednesday that
in 1904 he was punished for sneak
ing" out a letter to Director Woodfin.
He said he was confined in the dun
geon for seven days and during that
time all he had TO subsist upon was
thin slice Of bread and a cup of water,
every "a hours. The letter referred to
was produced by the encouragement.
II complained in unmistakable terms
Of the harsh treatment TO prisoners
by officers. the neglect of the sick, and
the faithlessness and brutality of
keepers. The witness described, the
cruel treatment by the keepers of
man named Burno from Bennington,
too weak to work, who was kicked
and struck in the yard two days be-
fore he died. He did not think either
Burno or Carroll, who was kept work
ing constantly up to couple of days
before his death, had medical attend
ance.
John F. McGuirk of Rutland, who is
serving a two years sentence at the
house of correction for breach of the
peace. testified that he thought the
men were punished too severely IN
some eases. He said that the custom
of putting men in the dungeon for as
long sometimes as ten days and max
ing them subsist on bread and water
and sleep on the bare floor was inJur-
ious to their health and he claimed to
have seen instances that had wrought
physical harm TO the victims. McGuirk
claimed that tobacco furnished pris-
oners was mouldy and poor, and gave
that as the reason for their striking
recently.

opening Of the organ To the extent OF
issuing special invitations TO their
hosts of friends throughout the com
munity, thus filling the church in that
way with apprcciative listeners, but
none of the various plans which have
been suggested by one and another in
their own minds have been at all in
accord with the intentions of the
Messrs. Estey.
They did ask the privilege of reserv'
ing a few seats in the house for spe'
cially invited guests from out of town
and intimate family friends, but fur
ther than this they made no reserva'
tions, but requested that the church be
thrown open to its full extent for the
public enjoyment.
That this magnanimous plan was
most fully appreciated was evidenced
by the immense audience present last
evening, filling not only the spacious
auditorium itself from the floor to the
ceiling and filling the lobbies to over
flowing, but also packing the chapel to
its fullest capacity.
The organ is so placed and so voiced
that those in the most remote parts OF
the extensive building, even in the
chapel. were able to enter into the
Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1906-02-23

fullest enjoyment of the occasion, ex-
eepting Of course those numbers of the
program which called for the softest
stops.
The opening of this organ is an
event in the history of our town when
means much for the very best IN music
in the years to come, and will undoubt-
edly minister to the delight of its
townspeople, regardless of church af-
filiations, as. from time to time, artists
of the highest ability are invited to sit
at It's keyboard.
As a memorial TO the beloved Gen.
Estey il is most fitting. His whole
life was associated with the manufae-
ture of musical instruments such as
have been introduced into churches the
world over. His well-known interest
and never.failing liberality in all mat
tiers concerning the church OF ms
choice. was well known. His devotion
to its interests in every way was pro-
verbal.
Mr.. Gibson gave a recital in the
church this morning for the benefit OF
the employees of the Estey organ fac
tory. At the three special services on
Sunday Reginald McAll, organist at
the Church of the Ascension, New
York, will play. Among those present
at the recital last evening were ID. u.
Woolley, manager of the Philadelphia
branch of the Estey Organ company. l..
A. Duckw6rth, manager of the New
York branch. c. r. Putnam, manager
of the Boston branch, and Mrs. Put
nam, A. Dalrymple and W. NJ. Sanborn
of New York.
The musical critic of the Spring
field Republican, who attended the re-
cital last evening says of it: 'The
choicest numbers on the program, mu-
sically. were the beautiful Bach toe
cata. the cantabile and adagio by
Widor. the Liebestod, which came out
with magnificent richness and power,
and Grieg's Daybreak, which was de.
licious bit of orchestral coloring, and
Rossini's William Tell overture. IN
which the contrast of the various solo
voices was skilfully managed and eff
fective. The least satisfactory num-
bers, if one must choose, We're the
Bocherini minuet, which was dashed
through too rapidly, the Chopin noe
turne, which is not so well suited TO
the organ as to the piano, and the
Tschaikowsky andante, IN which the
tremolo effects were overdone. BUT
most of the program was admirable
and well played, and the audience lis
tened with the closest attention. There
was especially enthusiastic applause
for Mr.. Gibson S own contribution,

More State Prison Charges.

The special investigating commission
met at Bellows Falls Tuesday to close
M business connected with the inves.
tigation of the state prison at Wind,
sor. Direct charges of ill-treatment OF
prisoners were made at the hearing by
John Perkins of Whitehall, \. T.,
discharged recently from the prison
after serving seven years for horse
stealing. who alleged extreme cruelty
bv Superintendent Oakes and ex.War-
den Harpin. He charged that Harpin
knocked him senseless in punishg rsrr
cell with a heavy brass key. He de.
clared other prisoners were beaten and
obliged to hold tacks in their mouths
at the shoe shop, and that several, as
a result, were taken to the hospital IN
agony He offered the names OF DIS
charged prisoners who would corrop-
crate him, and gave those of prisoners

Farmers Discuss Taxation.

Over 200 farmers from all sections Of Rut.
land county met at Rutland Friday to attend
the meeting OF Killington Pomona Grange
and discuss the question of taxation In
the following form: Resolved That the
Private Holdings of Real Estate Bear More
than Their Just Share of Public Burden
Under the Present System of Taxation 1t
was argued, and with emphasis, that the
farmers should not be taxed because they
toiled, often months at time, in clearing up
their farm lands of stones, underbrush,
stumps, decayed vegetation and the like. s.
L. Peck of Ira spoke forcibly on this point
and scored H. E. Coburn president OF the
Rutland County Agricultural association,
spoke at some length against the present sys-
TEN. as did Philip Elmwood, who stated that
if the farmers were permitted to have the
same optional liberty in taxation as the rail-
road companies namely IL per cent OF the
gross income per year, or 1 per cent. of the
assessed valuation, allowing the farmer only
moderate salary for himself, then, at the
end of each year the state would be owing
the farmers of Vermont thousands of dol.
lars The farmers of Rutland county are
now contemplating legislative action.

swell TO choir.
The organ in its construction has
been matter of pride on the part OF
all of the workmen in the Estey factory
who have had anything to do with IT,
and it is not too much to say that its
perfection is very largely due to the
s.labor of love- on the part of W. E.
Haskell, the superintendent, who has
from the very inception of this beauti-
full memorial, given to it his most care
full thought, supervision and actual Ia
bor
OF course it is not claimed for the
organ that it is the largest ever built.
Snch an instrument would not find a
place in any auditorium in Brattleboro,
but for an instrument of its size 1t IS
claimed it cannot be excelled, and In all
probability not equalled.
In front of the organ, surrounding
the pulpit on three sides, is a large
space given for the chorus choir with
seating capacity, when desired, for
5O or more singers. This is divided
from the pulpit platform by heavy
choir rail with open Gothic tracery SIM
liar to that which appears in the organ
case itself, and the general effect is
greatly heightened by it.
The building as completed is a model
of convenience of access and cannot
fail of thorough appreciation in the
wears to come. The general charge OF
the work was placed in the hands OF
John C. Pellet, builder of large ex-
perience. The decorations were In the
hands of +. f. Gobie so far as the
chanel was concerned and c. A. Bor-
den as to the auditorium itself. The
general plans and supervision OF all
these improvements were wisely placed
by the trustees in the hands of W. Y.
Bull of Bennington, and the results
have most certainly demonstrated the
wisdom of their Judgment in this mat
ter. Mr.. Bull has shown most excellent
taste throughout, as is evidenced not
only by the general plans for the re-
modelling of the whole interior of the
church and chapel, but also in the de-
sign of the organ case, as well as the
selection of their new and very efficient
steam heating plant
The pastor, Rev. Mr.. Lawson, has
been unwearying in his efforts to Sc
cure a model auditorium, and the con
slant attention and supervision by the
trustees have enabled these improve
ments to be completed at a very rea-
sonable figure.
From time to time various questions
have arisen in the minds of the people
throughout the community as to Just
what would be done when the organ
was formally opened. Some thought
that the church would have recital
and charge a good sized fee and secure
a considerable revenue therefrom. 9th
ers have thought that probably the
donors would prefer to control the
Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1906-02-23
