Testimony Reviswed.
| Opening for the prosecution. Attor-
ney Hanson reviewed the testimony
showing that the boys in the school
| were stripped of their clothing to bare
their backs and then beaten by en-
ployes with the leather straps until
they were black and blue and some-
times rendered unconscious, Even
girls. he asserted. were given the same
punishment.
The Greer boy, the discovery of
whose condition after he was severely
beaten, lead to the investigation, was
referred to but as one example. Han
son declared that other boys were
beaten more cruelty. several Of them
being in such condition afterwards
that their shirts stuck to their backs
from the blood and wounds inflicted by
the leather straps. One of the boys
was held over a cement block, accord
ing to the testimony. and whipped.
THE only way to stamp out this hor-
rible punishment Is to clean that insti-
tuition from cellar to garnet including
Superintendent HUMPHREYS and all
others in charge" cried Hanson. God

Idaho institution who are beaten as

Taken Under Amusement.
Holding up to the view of the board
members one OF the long heavy leather
straps, Attorney Holden declared:
Corporal punishment in an institution
of this state by an instrument like that
liz damnablc. infamous and disgrace
to the fair name OF Idaho. Yet testi-
mony has been given by employees In
the st. Anthony institution who worked
In other institutions that these instru-
ments are rs nothing compared to the
ones used in the schools in other states
Then ! say God pity those children. Al
would not use that strap to beat a
dumb beast with little alone child"
The good name. the character. the
kindness and the popularity of Super
HUMPHREYS with the children
of the school, were given a burning
word picture by Attorney Millsaps In
behalf of his client. He declared that
corporal punishment is necessary in a
training school but that HUMPHREYS
had never recommended |. to his SUBJ
ordinates only as last resort He
attacked the testimony Of the Greer
boy pointing out that 1t had never been
twice alike. The testimony OF other

Greer Boy Not Only One.
1t was argued by Attorney Hanson
for the prosecution, that the Greer boy

means the boy the most severely chas-
tised. He declared that other boys had
been whipped SO viciously that their

lacerated and at night their shirts
