RED WING SCHOOL
PLACE OF TORTURE
SWEAR WITNESSES
Continued from Page ~.

Rockne's home town, another burst
of laughter which helped to relieve
the tragedy of the evening ensued.
Mrs. Childs, next to the last wit
ness, is a middle aged woman and
gave her testimony in a clear, firm
voice which at. times vibrated with
indignation. 1t was she who de-
clared she had rather cut the throat
of her boy than have him sent to
Red Wing, where she had charge of
the tailoring department from 1902
to 1904. She took pains to inform
the committee that she resigned her
position and that she never had any
trouble with the superintendent.
Her graphic story was along the fol-
lowing lines: r-.
Mrs. Childs' Graphic Story.
"Time after time officers of the
school would come to the tailor shop
after such and such boy. Off they
would march them to the paint shop
sometimes they would come back
sometimes they would go to the
hospital If they did come back
they were trembling and as white as
a sheet.
"No, never saw the whipping ma
chine-none of the women ever did.

But let me tell you that many is the
time Ihave heard those heart wrench
ing means, and many the times
have they taken pals of water and
towels to the paint shop, and i saw
them and the officers have told me
how they whipped the boys. 1 saw
seven boys, one after the other, led to
that paint shop and I saw them af-
forwards in the, hospital, sick in bed. =
Have you any animus toward the
institution or Mr.. Whittier" Mrs.
Childs was asked.
II have not. Never was there a
cross word between Mr. Whittier and
myself but-"(and Mrs Childs lean
ed forward and glared across the
table at Superintendent Whittier) 81
am mother and I have a mothers
heart and I going to tell you the
truth. I resigned from that school
because I couldn't stand it to see
those boys abused, abused with the
knowledge and consent of Superin-
tendent WHITTIER !,
Mr.. Whittier accused Mrs. Childs
of having made the sketch of the
whipping machine in the hands of the
committee. ~-z
81 did give the sketch to Mr.. Steph-
ens," said Mrs. Childs, "but I did not
draw it. 1t was drawn and given to
me by a boy VINO was f1ogged.''
Il Still Have the Sears" Says Depati.
Ed Oliver Depati brought to a
dramatic close the testimony of the
evening. He crowned his evidence
by pointing his finger at Superin-
tendent Whittier as "the man who, if
I am not mistaken, slapped me-" and
Il should think you would be ashamed
to appear before this audience"
"Do you know anything about this
so-called whipping machine" Depati
was asked.
"Well, I ought to-" he replied, 81
made the strap for it. The strap
was four inches wide. I was whip
ped because tried to get the boys to
kick for some food that didn't have
cockroaches in it. They gave me be-
tween Is and 80 strokes and I carry
the marks and scars to this day and
if you gentlemen will come with me
into another room I will show them
to you now
His offer was not accepted and De-
patti continued to tell of abuses heap
ed upon him. He is the boy who
got into trouble over the tobacco.
II got some tobacco and they were
bound that I would tell where I got
it and was bound I would not. For
this I got a double punishment l
was slapped in the face, whipped so
hard 1 had to stand up to eat for sew
eral days and 1 was strung up by my
wrists for three days and fed on
bread and water.
"There was another boy who was
| weighed down with rs pound chains
| who was made to run around two
acres all day long and when the at.
tendant came to give him bread and
water he refused and begged to be-
killed and the attendant knocked him
down."
The committee thought it had
about all the information Depati
could give and had excused him
when he said:
'There is another thing I want to
tell you about before I go, and that
is that for six weeks the pigs at thu
school had nothing to eat and they
squealed so for feed that they kept
us awake at night and one night
killed pig whose hindquarters had
been eaten off by the rest of the
pigs"
"Why, the committee, must COR
slider this boys sanity in consider
ing his testimony" was Superintend-
ent Whittier's comment.
