for awhile of wheeling rocks. Chester

repaired several wheelbarrows, while
the others were engaged on the rock
pile. The men went to work again at
12.45 o'clock and at 2 o'clock they
were taken into the Workhouse where
they discarded their prison garb after
which they were given a shower bath.
This was the first bath they had re-

that told by George Brown, the phil
