PRISON OFFICER UNTITLED
TREATMENT OF CR|M|NALITY


BY Associated Press.
Washington, d. c., Oct. 4.-Quoting
the statement of Havelock Ellis that
"the prison officer Of today is about
as we'll fitted for the treatment of
criminality as the hospital nurse OF a
century ago was fitted for the treat
ment of disease" Professor r. YAM
berry of Hungary, professor in the Uni1
versity of Budapest, pleaded before a
large audience at the International
Prison Congress this afternoon for
thorough professional training of pri-
son officials, both in high places and
in subordinate positions. Professor
vambery paid tribute to the remark
able personalities of many wardens
and superintendent of American and
European prisons, but maintained
that on the solution Of the far greater
question Of the training in general
of prison officers depends the entire
future of prison reform as well as of
penal law. '1t can no longer be pass
ed over in silence"
The fundamental basis of sa'swell-
organized prison is the right man in
the right place. 1t is ridiculous to
quarrel about the relative merits Of
prison systems and leave the carry
ing out of these systems to officers
who do not understand their theories.
The old idea of punishment is dying
out everywhere. We must have train
ed prison officials for the proper in
dividual treatment Of prisoners. The
transformation of the system must
go with the transformation .of the Off
cials. Two qualifications are indis-
pensable for the modern prison Off
cer-tact and skill, meaning sound.
ness of character and professional
knowledge.
Training schools for prison Off
cials, said Professor Vambery, have
been founded in France, Italy. Spain,
Hungary and other European coun-
tries. In my own country of Hungary
we have had for several years courses
of twenty weeks year for the chief
officers of the various penal and cor
rective institutions, the courses en-
bracing the elements of jurisprudence.
criminology, criminal psychology,
theoretical and practical prison man
agement treatment of youthful Of
tenders, and prison hygiene A mus
cum of jenology in Connection with
the course of instruction"
In conclusion Professor vambery
paid high compliment to the United
States in stating that for the solu-
tion of the problem Of the adequate
training of prison officials we of Eu-
rope look to your mighty country,
where full justice is due to the theore-
tical exigencies of any problem. For
more than a century we in Europe
have been accustomed to see the sun
of prison reform rise In the west"

Miss Vera Oliver Shot.

Dresden, Tenn, Aug. "a. Miss Vera
Oliver, daughter of Sid Oliver, promi-
nent farmer of the Tenth District and
niece of Sheriff G. A. Brasfeld, was Sc
riously shot by Arthur Winstead, col
ored, at the Oliver home late this after
noon.
1t appears that Winstead and his wife
had trouble and he undertook to kill her.
They lived on the Oliver place and near
the Oliver home. When the trouble
took place the negro woman fled and
ran to the Oliver house for protection,
pursued by her husband with double
barreled shotgun As she entered the
front part of the house she screamed,
which attracted the attention of Miss
Oliver, who went to the door. At this
minute the negro fired the shotgun at
his wife, missing her, a part of the load
striking Miss Oliver in the back and
side.
While she is seriously, yet she is not
fatally, wounded. The negro was arrest
ed and is now in jail at Dresden, await
ing the result of her injuries.

Not Guilty

for manslaughter in the first degree
after being out thirty minutes
Wednesday, brought in a verdict
of not guilty. Assistant County
Attorney Jas. p. Boyle acted for
the prosecution and II. B. Fry

James was indicted by the grand

on Long Lake here on Aug. 4th,
while in the discharge of his duties
as game warden.
All testimony at the trial went to
show that the shooting was purely
accidental, The friends of Ward
en- James deplored the accident but
were confident that no conviction
could follow on the testimony.
