FURTHER CHARGES.
Miss Barnard Declares That One Con-
Yict Was Scalded to Death.

Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. S.-Miss
Barnard made sweeping charges to-
day. She alleged that while Oklahoma
does not care to investigate the bust
ness management of the prison, she is
ready and willing, if the Kansas COM
mittee wishes it, to prove to them that
there is graft and corruption in the
contract shops and in the manage
ment of the prison.
Asked if it was a fact that her pri-
witness replied:
THAT question is an imposition and
an insult. What do you take Okla
homa for? The gentleman has a bet
ter education and more culture. / have
no doubt, sir, than you yourself have. "
Miss Bernard read a lengthy state
ment which she had prepared in
which she reiterated her charges
against the prison. She charges.
among things, that gambling was
permitted in the administration build
ing by the warden when the prison
was quarantined for the smallpox.
On the. matter of punishments she
said:
81 hereby dare the warden and
deputy warden. who have testified
that the punishment is not cruel or
painful to lie down here on the floor
in the 'alakazan' position on their
stomachs before this committee for an
hour only"
Among affidavits presented today
by Miss Bernard, was one from Iran
Torrel, in which he testified that
prisoners had been scalded to death
and beaten to death while he was in
the Kansas state prison.

The fact having been brought out that
agencies are maintained by the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific in New
York, Boston and Philadelphia, counsel
for the government asked if the COM
petition between the two agencies was
not solely to obtain the greatest amount
of shipments over the respective routes.
Mr. Smith replied that that was what
he meant by competition between the
two agencies.
