ATLANTA PRISON WILL
BE INVESTIGATED
Thomas Bram. who Spent Seventeen
Years Within Its Walls. Says
Hawthorne'S Charges are
Not True

Washington, Oct 17.-After
conference between Attorney Gene
raj McReynolds AMI Superintendent
OF Prisons LaDaw regarding the
charge of cruelty and unsatisfactory
fare at the Atlanta prison. made by
Julian Hawthorne and Dr. W. ].
Morton, Warden Meyer OF the peni-
tentiary was instructed to make a
report in the matter
Contradicts Hawthorne's Charges
Atlanta, Oct 1S.-Thomas NJ c.
Bran. the sailor. who spent seven
teen years in the federal peniten-
tiary. the last seven here in the At
lanta prison. comes TO the defense
of Warden Moyer, who was severely
accused in an interview given out
by Julian Hawthorne. the novelist,
upon his release from the prison
yesterday.
The most sensational charge was
that made by Hawthorne and DR..
Norton, his prison mate. who declar-
in the interests of economy so that
the warden could make a good re-
port. Bran declares that while he
was in charge of the prison commi-
sary Dr. Morton brought an order
from Warden Meyer directing Bran,
TO give Morton all the milk and
eggs he desired and anything he
wanted from the prison store.
Morton complained that he had
lived mostly on milk and eggs and
could not eat the prison fare, hence
the order From then on he said
Dr. Morton made out his own bill of
fare three times a day; he had a
dozen eggs, if he wanted them. and
all the milk he could drink.
There was always plenty of gOad
fool on the table. said Bram-'a
real sufficiency for every prisoner.
ana if a man left the table hungry,
it was of his own volition.'
Bran said he had seen the soli-
tary confinement cell, and declared
l. was cooler than any other and had
no stencil and no chains. He had
never heard in all the seven years of
a man being chained up by the
hands.
He said he was Hawthorne's room
mate for several months ana never
hearl him voice a single complaint.
He declared that Moyer was broa
AMI liberal and would go the limit
fer every prisoner. Bran will make
an interesting witness in the con-
gressicnal investigation that has
been promised.
In despatch from indianapolis.
where Warden Moyer now is, he
SAYS his answer to Hawthorne and
Morton is, come and see for your
self - He extends an invitation TO
everyone who wishes TO do so to
come out and make an investigation
Of the prison. He says he promptly
wired the department of justice as
s0Cn as he saw a statement of the
charges AMI asked for complete in
yestigation.

No COWardice on Ship
There was no cOwarJice on the
Noiturno, either among officers or
crew said Inch. There was no
rush of seamen which made il neces-
sary for him TO warn them back
with his revolver. His revolver was
in d drawer in his cabin and it
burned with the ship. And no one
Oh board drew revolver. These
statements he intended should re-
fute the stories told by steerage pas
sengers who arrived yesterday on
the Grosser Kurfuerst.
The Volturno's master, besides de-
Tending his own officers anl men,
said he had no criticism to make of
the tactis of any of the boats that
