one million pounds, for export to

Tyree Pictured TO Jury
As o. HeartLess Monster

! In a synopsis OF the testimony be-
fore the Grand Jury, made public
Monday by Philip Weltner secretary
Of the Prison Reform Association,
with the authority Of the jury. it was
shown that sensational evidence had
been heard in regard to the alleged
hanging by Ed Tyree, indicted fore
man Of the Weiuaca camp, of his own
son in an effort to extort from him a
confession of theft.
This incident is told in the follow
In extract
Witnesses were called to testify to
what they may have heard concern
ing an attempt by Mr.. Ed Tyree to
hang his own son. While several wit
nesses swore merely hearsay testi-
mony in substantiation of the verify
Of such a transaction, one witness
swore that Mr.. Tyree acknowledge it
himself. The affair leading up to
this desperate deed was the theft by
his young son OF considerable sum
of money from Miss Jane Donaldson,
sister of Mr.. T. J. and Mr.. S. H.
esd Donaldson. II is said that he
hung the boy up in his company room
by rope around his neck to make
him confess to the stealing.
Tyree Pictured as Monster.
"All the witnesses who acknowl-
edged knowing anything at all about
1t admitted that the affair was COM
mon talk In the neighborhood Of
Buckhead, where it took place.
"One OF the witnesses formerly
worked with Tyree and knew his
methods of handling his men, Speak
ing of Tyree's severity in handling
his men, this witness testified that
Tyree broke the convicts' skin with
every lash. and the blows were so
frightful that the blood would splat-
ter again the wall. The witness said
that the screams of the tortured ne
groes were audible for a considerable
distance and that the brutality of Ty-
rec was common knowledge up in
Buckhead district.
@ Isn't 1t true that Captain Tom
Donaldson and Mr.. ST Donaldson had
perfect knowledge what kind OF man
Tyree was, and what he was doing?'
"A. Yes, sir
90 That is a fact?'
"A Yes, sir. that they protected
him, too
Fined for Cutting Man.
1T was shown, and the records
speak for themselves. that Mr. Ed Ty-
rec while yardman at the old Boule-
ward camp, got into a dispute with
one Oh MS drivers, Wnlte man named
VIII Osborn, and in a fury pulled a
knife and cut Osborn very seriously.
He was convicted of the crime Of
stabbing and heavily fined.
Who raid the fine?
That was sort of concealed there
was rover blowed around, but | heard
that MIR 81 Donaldson helped him out
of his trouble
Regardless of rumor this much is
proved by the records of the Board of
| County Commissioners, that this man
was promoted on the recommendation
of Mr.. T. j. Donaldson from the DO
sition of yard man to the position Of
deputy warden of the county.
Further Findings.
ut was further shown that for all
practical purposes the personnel of
the county convict employees was left
In the sole charge of Superintendent
7. j. Donaldson; such information
was furnished by members of the
County Commission: that some of the
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-02-16

county convict employees, both deputy
wardens and guards, were tyrannical
and cruel, and fundamentally unfit for
ent of PbJlic Works Donaldson either
had knowledge OF the character Of
these men he placed in authority or
had every opportunity Of knowing their
character (the same was shown to be
true of his brother, ST Donaldson) ;
that T. J. Donaldson, while superin-
tendent OF public works was un-
amenable to either control or direc-
ton by either the Prison Commission
or the State or the Board of County
Commissioners; that the system un-
der which wardens or guards are
employed is unsuited to meet the
States needs.
Upon the Prison Commission of
the State is placed the legal respon-
sibility for the present situation in
the convict camps of this county Un-
der the law, they are TO appoint the
wardens, deputies, guards and physi-
clans. The authority is given them
to draft rules fixing the housing, work
and control OF the convicts of the
State.
The Boards Powers.
The Prison Commission, under the
law, is empowered and does employ
State inspectors to examine into con-
ditions in the convict camps of the
several counties and find out whether
the rules and regulations of the COM
mission are carried out.
when the rules are not complied
with, the commission, under the law,
may discharge the warden or his dep
uties the physician or the guards,
and may, as a last resort, take away
from county the felony convicts ap-
portioned to 1t until the prison rules
and regulations are complied with.
Each County Board fixes the SAL
airy of the convict employees, ward
ems, deputies, physicians and guards
etc Because the local board pay the
wardens and other convict employees,
1t has been the policy OF the Prison
Commission to allow the local author
tiles to nominate the wardens and
other convict employees. These nom-
nations have always been accepted
Therefore the County Boards feel as
IL they control the wardens; that he
Is a county official. subject to county
politics rather than a State official.
County Really in Control.
of the Prison Commission would
wish to put a man IN as warden WHO,
for some reason or other, was not ac-
ceptable to the local authorities, they
would refuse to pay him anything but
starvation wages and he would event
ually be forced out of office. In this
way the State Commissions theoreu-
cal control is nullified. Because OF
that fact a great moral responsibility
rests on local boards to see that their
convicts are treated in the proper
way.
This, however, does not relieve the
State Commission nor their lnspec-
tors. The result of these lnspectloD
trips seems to be to cause PUNISH
ment to those who report wrongs, as
the convicts who complain are mark
ed by the guards for beating.
1T was shown that prison methods
in this county were open 10 lar
reaching improvement.

uty warden of the Bellwood head
quarters camp"

OFFICIALS URGE
COMP PROMISE
ON BUDGET
Finance Chairman and Foes Re-
lent as City Departments Cry
for Maintenance Funds.

Pressure from city departments
that are hampered in their work on
account of the deadlock over the new
budget may force a compromise and
the passage of the budget at the
meeting of Council Monday afternoon.
special meeting of the Finance
Committee was called for 2:30 o'clock
Monday afternoon, and at that time
tie attitude of the committee at the
meeting of Council vast be deter
mined
The Finance Committee is very re-
luctant to yield its position that the
budget should not be changed but it
has become evident that it will be
impossible to pass the sheet as it
stands, and now that the depart
ments are pleading that the business
of the city is suffering, a compro-
mise seems to be the only course
open.
By mutual consent the fixed ex-
penses of the city government are be-
ing met, but many increases in sal
aries, new employees for certain de-
partments and new street, sewer and
other Improvement projects will be
icld up ulllll the DuuS6l PASSES.
Departments Suffering.
Many city employees are practical
ly idle. None of the business of ad-
vertising for the bids on contracts
and the like has been done and al
most two months of the year have
slipped by.
Department heads are not willing to
complain openly. They fear they
might antagonize the Finance Com
mittee. But they are very much wOr-
ried over the deadlock and they are
doing all they can in a diplomatic
way TO get it passed Immediately.
They point out that their departments
will suffer greatly by further delay,
regardless of what street improve
ment projects are finally provided
for
Humphrey Will Compromise.
Chairman w. G. Humphrey, of the
Finance Committee, takes u much
more optimistic view of the citys
financial condition since his return
from New York. He has expressed a
Willingness to consider a reasonable
compromise, and announced that the
city treasury is not in such a strained
condition as some officials have de-
clared. But he is not yet willing to
advise the Finance Committee to
settle the differences between Coun-
Gil and the Aldermanic Board
We will have some money for new
projects in June" said Chairman
Humphrey. "Some officials don't
think so. but I have made a thorough
study of the budget and l know that
there will be more money than we
have anticipated.
Aldermen Also Willing.

over the budget ended. We are will
Ing to provide salaries for Street In
spectors D'Alvigny and Dozier and
to appropriate at least $4,000 for the
improvement of Whitehall and For
syth streets"
The five Aldermen who are hold
ing up the budget and their support
ers in Council likewise are willing for
a compromise. They have announced
that their sole contention has been for
an agreement by the whole Council
on the items to be included in the
budget.
