Real Nip Coming Friday.
The thermometer shrank to 80 de-

The weather director feels reason

7 THOMSON
AND TYREE
Gull TY
0verseers Who FIogged Prisoners
Must Pay 5000 Each or Serve
Year in Gang.

Clyde Thomson and Ed Tyree,
convict bosses at the Adamson and
Weiauca camps, respectively, were
found guilty Friday of the charges of
cruelty toward the prisoners in their
charge and were fined 5000 each with
the alternative of twelve months in
the changing, of which they lately
were in control
The case against Thomson was
made on the information that he had
unmercifullynlNh James Bran
non, a convict, when Brannon ex-
claimed against the shooting Of James
Harris, a. fellow prisoner, by Thoma-
son.
Tyree was accused of fiogging Ben
Spratling, a negro prisoner, until the
negro mans skin was in ribbons and
the blood had saturated his clothes.
Prosecution Follows Expose.
The investigation by the Grand
Jury and the subsequent indictment
of the convict bosses, together with
the reforms that recently have been
instituted, came after the revelation
of conditions in the convict camps by
The Georgian and The Sunday Amer
lean.
Judge Ben Hill, in pronouncing SEN
tence, said that while some OF the
convicts undoubtedly had exaggerat-
ed the number of lashes given them
and the extent of the cruelties prac-
ticed, it was patent that brutality
existed at the camps and had been
practiced both by Tyree and Thoma-
son.
The Judge was inclined to believe
that Tyree had been an even worse
offender than Thomson, although
Thomson. on one count, had been
charged with assault with intent to
murder in the shooting of Harris.
FIogged While III.
Spratling. testifying for the pros
ecution, declared that Tyree had fog
ged him twice in succession, giving
him rs ticks each. time. in spite Of
the fact that he (spratling) was sick
from an abscess in the chest.
Tyree told the court that he was
unaware of Sprating's affliction un-
til the negro testified before the
Grand Jury. Guards at the camp
testified that Tyree whipped Sprat-
ling only once and that he applied the
lash no more than eight times.
Thomson was found guilty on the
assault and battery charge and at the
request of the request Of the Solicit
tor the indictment for assault with
intent to murder was quashed. Mr..
Dorsey said he did not think the in
dictment could he prosecuted on ac-
count of the character of the com
planning convict and certain circum-
stances that had been explained to
him.
Brannon was the first witness
called by the State, He said that he
had been dashed by Thomson on De-
cember 10, 1918, because on the day
before he had said after witnessing
the shooting Of Harris. "Oh, God! YOU
murdered that man, and it was cruel
and cowardly murder Following
this assertion, he said that Thoma son
threatened TO get even.
William Flynn q convict, who wit
messed the whipping Of Brannon.
when called by the State, said that
the flashing had been one of the most
cruel ever given in the camp. He
said that he was working in the yard
and heard Brannons cries for mercy.
Harris was the next witness He
