Jackson Cries for Mercy
While Being FlOgeed
at Post

Under the test of the lash az the
county workhouse this morning, Fred
erick Jackson. oolored, convicted OF
highway robbery lost his nerve and
cried for mercy. Forty lashes of
Warden Crawford's lneXorable cat
scored Jackson's back despite his
pleas and struggles, and the lash VIII
remain In Jackson's memory far long
er than the scars on his back.
Jackson is a one-leggsd man, ana
the spectacle was unusual of cripple
like him at the whipping post.
Jackson's protest against the lash
was less unusual than the indifference
shown by his companion In crime,
Clarence Rothwell, colored, also con-
yicted of highway robbery. Rothwell
received his forty lashes without q
culver. as he was taken from the post
the spectators paid him silent tribute.
Jackson and Rothwell will serve three
years each.
Three other prisoners were lashed,
all OF whom showed little emotion.
Chester Evans. colored convicted OF
breaking I'm a store with intent 20
commit larceny, received twenty
lashes with apparent unconcern. lie
will serve two and one-half years. The
others lashed we're William Robinson,
colored. ten lashes and six months
Imprisonment for larceny, and Thomas
Williams. colored. nine months ana
ten lashes for larceny.
