CAPT. ". Il. SONDLEY
CRlTICIzES GOV. BLEASE
SAYS CoNy1CTs ARE NOW DE.
MORALIZED.
Untrue That Paris Was "Picked' on
Because He Wore Blease But
ton.

Columbia, Dec 2O.-A sweeping
denunciation of Governor Blease,s ac-
tons with regard to convicts at the
State penitentiary was made today by
the capain of the guard at the State
prison.
Capt. w H. sondley says the con-
victs at the prison are now demoral-
lied, that diccipline has been serious
ly affected by Governor Blease's
parols and pardons and that "all the
average convict seems to think that it
is necessary to violate the rules, get
punished and slip a letter to the
governor and mis- parole or pardon
will follow"
The statement of Capt. Sondley
comes by reason of the granting of a
parole by Governor Blease to Ramon
Paris, Newberry prisoner, who
charged that he was punished be-
cause he wore a Blease button.
The details were given II Thurs-
days News and have created a sansa
ton over the State Many Of the coun-
ty papers have commented on the
parole. Paris was called to Governor
Blease's office and reiterated state
, ment contained in a letter t1at he
had been picked on by the guards
because he wore a Blease button and
registered other kicks against the
penitentiary.
Today the storm broke in the state
ment of the captain of guard.

Senator Hitchcock, who had led the

Wide differences exist between the

suspected he had been stealing coal
from the Southern railway and placed
him under arrest, placing him in the

given a hearing before Magistrate
Can't and as there was no evidence
to connect him with the theft Of coal,

the superintendent of the penitenti-
ary, Capt. Sondley says that "the peni-
Tertiary is presided over by man
who has devoted his life to the inter-
ests of South Carolina, whose word
is taken wherever ne is known, and
whose honor and integrity stands
without blemish."
Capt. Sondley stated that he and
the governor were brought up in the
same county and "up ii few months
ago have been strong personal and
political friends
He added:
Under these circumstances does it
not seem that a common decency and
justice would demand that be given
d hearing before the statement of a
convicted thief be taken, by whose
testimony the whole administration Of
he penitentiary is condemned and We
are denied the right accorded the
aeanest criminal of not being heard
in our defense"
Charging that there is now less
discipline among the conyicts and
tat Governor Blease's actions have
caused a Generalization at the peni-
tentiary, the captain of the guard
concludes his statement to the pub
lie:
at seems that Governor Blease had
had a pick at the penitentiary and
its officers ever since ne has been
in the governors Office and have
never understood it, unless he is cat
ering to the criminal element in the
State.

Then And Now.

In looking through some old papers

don petitions were noted from New

these papers shows that petitions in
the years gone by, presented to for

same as petitions presented now-and
a good many people were pardoned,
too. Interesting among the Newberry
petitions noted was that of Noah R.
Taylor, convicted before Judge Ernest
Gary of the murder of his wife, and
sentenced to life Imprisonment in the
State penitentiary. This case created
great interest at the time. Petition
was presented by Col. w. H. Hunt, Of
