Jackon, Miss, Aug. 1.-THE threat
of Governor Brewer TO pardon every
person sent to the prison farm of Lin
coin county so long as the authorities
persisted in Stacking prisoners day
and night, women not excepted, seems
to be bearing fruit. for according to a
statement made by Lizzie King, ne
gro woman recently pardoned, the
chains have been removed from the
ankles of the female prisoners.
The King woman went to the COVER
nor's office late yesterday afternoon
and told him all she knew of the re-
ports that authorities in Lincoln coun-
ties had allowed to be practiced GER
tain methods on the farm that would
bring the blush of shame to barbarians
of old. However she said the prison
ers were we'll fed and aside from the
Stacking were fairly well treated.
Lizzie went to the farm when she
was convicted of selling whiskey. She
was working out a fine of $500 and a
sentence of thirty days and had been
there a year and nine months. She
worked in the fields, and then as
cook in a kitchen. According to her
story when she went to the farm in
1911 she was shackled along with the
other females. Of late she says the

have discontinued the prac-
tice of putting chains on the women,
but some of the men still are subjected
to such treatment.
The worst thing about it was" said
Lizzie was that we had to go to bed
with those chains on our limbs"
Lizzie said when an investigation
was made few months ago, follow
ing the reports of cruelties alleged to
have been practiced on the farm, Su-
perintendent G. c. Williams first
claimed that the board of supervisors
had ordered the prisoners shackled,
then said the sheriff had ordered it
done, and finally laid it at the door of
the district attorney. All of them
denied having issued such orders, and
the district attorney said that an ex-
PLANTATION might be that he once told
the superintendent when we get all
that nest of tigers you want to hold
them, even if you have to put shackles
on them
The general impression prevails
that this remark was misconstrued.
However that may be, Governor
Brewer has made it clear that in the
absence of any authority conferred
upon him to take action he will pardon
all prisoners who are subjected to
inhuman treatment.
