imously adopted by the Atlanta Lo-
cal Union Of Christian Endeavor.
Copies Of the resolutions have been
forwarded 70 Warden Meyer and 10
Attorney General McReynolds.
The resolutions are signed by
Chairman John ". Crenshaw and six
members OF a committee. The state
ment that the charges are false is
made. it is stated, because the mem
bers of the Union are in a position
to know conditions at the prison, and
have kept in close touch with them
since Warden Meyer was placed in
charge.
For a period OF ten years or more
the Christian Endeavor Society"
says the resolution, has had charge
Of the religious work in the prison
with the consent OF the Warden and
the Chaplain. This society, there
fore, has been in close touch wtth the
something OF its management.
We regard Warden Meyer as a
model officer. and the prison under
his management as a model prison.
We can testify to the uniform kind
ness and humane treatment upon the
part Of the Warden and his associate
officers toward the prisoners in the
institution.
Having seen the men during the
meal hour and having been shown
through the kitchens on many oCca -
sions. we are in a position 10 deny

These resolutions are adopted as
an act of simple justice to a man
whom we believe incapable of doing
a cruel or inhuman act, and who is
without reproach among the citizens

This barber had shaved Warden

the warden so much that he ordered
the convict removed fro mthe barber
