who had served his term, and had
them brought before the Grand Jury.

Story Told to Weltner.
Mr.. Weltner said the prisoners told
him the story of the shooting as fol-

Of several other prisoners, and be-
cause Of the chains on his legs could
neither run toward nor away from
the camp officer.
with the man shackled in this
manner the guard fired on him and he
fell back into the arms OF another
prisoner, James Brannen, who ex-
claimed, as he caught the bleeding
form OF his fellow-convict. My God,
you have murdered this man."
