The following article written
by Daniel E. O'Sullivan, Chair
man of the State Board of Prison
Commissioners, appeared in the
Frankfort State Journal Novem-
Der 23rd. 1t is worthy of care
ful perusal. We reproduce it in
rfuTl:
"The lust for human blood is
doing more to retard Kentucky
than all its archaic tax laws, its
bad roads. and its illiteracy put
together" declared Daniel E.
O'Sullivan, chairman of the
State Board of Prison Commits
sioners, yesterday. IF the
Court of Appeals should decide
that under the indeterminate
sentence law every man sent to
prison for manslaughter must
automatically be set free at the
end of two years, the minimum
sentence for the crime, / am in
favor of a change in the law"
he added in referring to the case
of John De Moss, a prisoner at
Eddyville serving a term of two
to ten years for manslaughter,
who brought suit to compel the
Prison Commission to Parole him
on the ground that he had
served his minimum sentence
and conformed to all the condi-
tions precedent to making his
application, which had been re-
fused by the Commission.
The Franklin Circuit Court
granted a writ of mandamus al d
the case has been appealed and
submitted to the Court Of Ap-
! peals on briefs.
The Commissioners contend
| that the law gives them discre.
, tionary power in granting or re.
fusing paroles. If the Court
/ holds that they have not this dis.
. erection, but must grant paroles
, as soon as the prisoner has
! served his minimum sentence
and qualified for parole, Chair.

What is the reshlt? A Sat-
urnalia Of lawlessness, with
thousands Of hofees despoiled
and the prisons filed with con-
victed felons. LODI at the fig
ures and realize what a terrible
price the State is paying for up
holding this false standard Of
courage. There are now con-
fined in the two prisons for mur-
der for life 324 men; for man.
slauhgter 412 men; for malicious
shooting and cutting 154 men
a total Of 800 prisoners guilty Of
seeking and taking the lives of
their fellow men. When there
is added to this number the hun
