Members of the State Com
Grand Jury, repeated in sub
stance about what the members
of the County Board said, except
that they blamed the County
Board where the County Board
members blamed them.
In theory" Chairman Dawson told
the Grand Jury. "the State Commits
sion is to blame for whatever condi-
tons exist, but as matter of fact
the County Board Is to blame"
County Names Wardens.
1.-The County Board appoints the
deputy wardens and the State Board
gives them commissions, on the rec
ommendation of the County Board
which is therefore responsible for the
acts of the men in charge of the
camp. The rules which we have
formulated for the governing of the
tohNlttS are al ilSHl. IL tHty were
followed to the letter there would be
no trouble"
Members of the Grand Jury de-
clared freely Thursday morning that
the lack OF responsibility for the gov
erning of the camps has brought
about the terrible conditions that
have been laid bare by the stories Of
convicts who have been chained and
logged until they we're almost dead
1T is our intention" said one of the
Grand Jurymen, ito recommend such
camps that will definitely fix the re-
sponsibility for the camps on some
one man or some one organization"
General Shakeup Likely.
Indications that the indictment OF
Captain Edward Tyree and the expul-
sion of Captain A. NJ. Luck and
Guards Wood and Brooks WIN be fol-
lowed by other changes in the forces
at some of the other camps and
are contained in the statement made
Thursday by Alfred c. Newell, fore
man of the Grand Jury.
I'VE have only just started our in
vestigation." said Mr.. Newell, land
the horrible tales that convicts from
two camps have told shows us that II
will be necessary to make the inves-
tigation as thorough and far-reaching
as possible. We intend to probe
deeply into every charge OF brutality
that we can hear of. and guards and
deputy wardens who continually vio-
late the rules and fog convicts un-
merclfully, and who are not humane
in their treatment of the men will be
given short shrift'
