HORRORS OF CHAIN GANG.

Guard Short Shackled Man.
(Atlanta Constitution, GOTH }

(Atlanta CONSTITUTION, oDln.)
Eight striped convicts, all men,
serving various sentences in the Full
ton county chain gang, and all incar-
cerated at the Adamsville camp, told
shocking and revolving tales Of cruel
and inhuman treatment, rotten food
and insanitary living conditions to
the Fulton county grand jury, called
in special session on Thursday. The
evidence resulted in the near-indict-
ment Of Clyde Thomason, guard,
employed by the county at the
Adamsville camp, on a charge Of as
sault with intent to murder in shoot
ing J. Fl. Harris, a convict. The fall
ure of Acting Foreman j. Frank
Beck, Of the grand jury, to sign the
indictment after the probers had
voted unanimously for the guards

at least temporarily.
Probe Not Ended.
Philip Weltner, widely-known
prison investigator, upon\ whose ad-
vice Solicitor Gener Dorsey called
special meeting Of the grand jury
to probe the charges against Guard
Thomason, stated last night that the
probe of the affair had not by any
means ended through the clerical er.
ror on the part of the grand jury
foreman.
The probe of Thursday really came
as direct result OF the shooting of
Convict Harris recently. 1t was al
legged that Harris, chained to a crew
Of the other convicts, had broken
over one OF the minor rules in force
at the camp. He was to be logged
for the oGfense.
Guard Thomason called to him as
Harris was marching out Of the
sleeping barracks, chained to his fell
low prisoners, and, it is alleged, said
to him, "You're going to be whip
ped"
Harris, it is alleged, reached to
the ground and picked up a piece Of
tree limb. This he held in a defen-
sive attitude, it is alleged, and when
Guard Thomason advanced, Harris
is said to have shouted, You are not
going to whip me, now or ever
The guard then, it is alleged,
pumped a slug-laden shell into his
repeating rifle and discharged the
weapon directly at Harris.
AS Harris sank in his shackles, it
is alleged that one of his fellow pris-
