NEW j. s. PRISON
HORRORS TOLD
BY EX-TRUSTY
Robert Cameron, lust Freed, to
Take Proof to McReynoIds, He
Says-BIames Meyer.

Specific instances of cruelty to
Federal prisoners in the Atlanta
Penitentiary under Warden Meyer
were outlined Wednesday to The
Georgian by Robert Cameron. a dis
charged inmate, who is taking his
data to Attorney General McReynolds
in Washington. He declared that
Julian Hawthornes expose of con-
ditions within the walls is true in
every particular.
CameronS statement is replete
with the details of petty tyranny on
the part of guards and officials. In
one case a prisoner whose complaints
of illness and whose queer actions
brought him, according to Cameron,
continual punishment. now is said to
have been pronounced feeble mind
ed epileptic.
There is a young fellow named
,, Nichols who was thrown into one
of the black holes" said Cameron.
His offense was the finding and
circulating of a copy of a paper con-
tanning Julian Hawthorne's first
article.
Is Sent to Dungeon.
up to that time Nichols had been
running the elevator. After he found
the paper he was sent to the dun
geon.
"A prisoner named Kennedy, who
has been beaten with a blackjack
and kept in the hole most of the
time, l know was subject to epileptic
fits many times during the nights. I
have heard him grooming, heard him
fall off his bunk to the floor; then
later heard him stirring about as he
regained consciousness of his own
accord.
Now that Kennedy practically has
served his time. a DIR. Green at the
prison has discovered that Kennedy
is insane and an epileptic.
Where is Kennedy now?
He's in the hole
Uniustly Declared Insane.
Joe Petrello was talking to q
woman visitor about the prison. He
criticised conditions there. A guard
named Covington overheard what Pc
trello said, and when the visitor left,
Petrello vent to the 'hole'-and the
hole let me tell you. is all the bor-
ror it has been pictured.
Sam Moore, lifer,' is in the hole
to-day, waiting to be transported to
the insane asylum. The prison Of
ficials have adjudged Moore insane.
He's no more insane than you are.
The trouble with Moore Is he knows
too much about conditions in that
penitentiary.
II don't think this statement will
interest the public half as much as
would the report I am going to make
! Washington. I would tell you
what I am going to tell Mr. Mercy

sion became known now, Meyer and

the case before the board takes any
action in the natter
Philip Weltner, prison secretary OF
the Men and Religion Forward Move
ment, has been mentioned as a pos
sible successor to S. II. Donaldson
as warden of the county convict
camps.
Chairman Waters has not yet an
nounced whether he win call a spe-
cial meeting of the board to consider
the presentment of the Grand Jury.
Urges Joint Conference.
Il believe the board should confer
with the State Prison Board before
taking definite action" said he. Some
of the reforms asked for by the Grand
Jury are already under way. The
sanitary conditions at the camps are
being improved and we also have
other matters looking to the better
ment of the camps under considera-
ton. l still hold, however, that the
State Prison Board is responsible
for the case of the convict camps
and | think we should confer with
the members of this board before act
ing on the Grand Jury report"
Mr.. Waters appeared to be amused
at the idea that the Grand Jury in
tends indicting the members of his
board.
Il do not think they will indict the
commissioners, he remarked, land |

they do take this step"

To
FIGHT AGAINST
DISMISSAL
Anderson and Waters Likely Will
Demand That the Brothers Be
Given Hearing by Board.

That the County Commissioners at
cent recommendation of the Grand
Jury that the Donaldson influence be
eliminated from county affairs, now
appears to be a foregone conclusion,
although it is not at all unlikely that
two members of the board will make
sharp fight to retain both Captain
Tom Donaldson and his brother, S.
H. Donaldson, who have been in the
service of the county for more than
twenty years.
1t is pretty well understood that
Commissioners Winn, thurman and
Smith will vote to Gust the brothers,
and 1t is certain that Commissioner
Anderson will not see them go with
out at least another investigation. He
already has said as much. Chairman
Waters, too, it is understood, will vote
to keep the Donaldsons in their pres
ent positions.
Will Hear Both Sides.
If the board is to take up the
Donaldson matter, as OF course it will,
think we should hear from the Dom
aldson side as we'll as from the Grand
Jury" said Colonel Anderson
The Grand Jury probe was an ex
parte investigation and we do not
know all that went on there. | think
it is nothing but common Justice

an opportunity to present their side of

on condition that he would quit

ties at the sixteenth annual Atlanta

Courtroom Packed as Lawyers
Make Closing TaIks-Stirring
Plea for Senator.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Feb. ia
verdict is expected by tonight in the
$4,000 damage suit of Mrs. Minnie
e. Bond against United States Sen
ator Thomas P. Gore. The argu-
ments of the lawyers will be COM
pleted by the middle of the afternoon
session.
Another immense crowd packed the
courtroom to-day. hoping to hear
another speech with thrills like those
given by Moman Pruitt, attorney for
Senator Gore in his speech yester-
day when he declared that Senator
Gore was on trial because on the
floors of Congress he stood between
the HELPLESS Indians of this State and
the political crooks and thieves who
wanted to rob them"
Robert L. Rogers, former Attorney
General of Arkansas, in his address
strove to tear to pieces Mrs. Bonds
story told on the witness stand of the
happenings in the room in the Hotel
Winston in Washington.
Without knowing that the two
were alone in the room," said the
attorney, without knowing whether
the door was closed, without know
ing he was in a private room, with
out removing his long Prince Albert
coat, this famous statesman, known
by sight to almost every person in
Washington, tried to assault this
woman. 1t is ridiculous"
According to the laws of Oklahoma
the jury in a damage suit can return
a verdict by a 9-to-3 vote, this YER
dict is final and complete and leaves
nothing to be decided by the presid-
ing Judge If the jury in the Gore case
should find for the plaintiff, it will
also fix the amount of damages.

simply because the food they eat is not
assimilated, and fails TO make good

What Uncle Sam Does
with YOUR MONEY

A LTHOUGH the national Gov.
II ernment's accounts are kept
in far less ineligible way
than that OF any great private bust
ness enterprise, il is possible with a
little effort to analy2c them enough
to ascertain just what Uncle Sam
does with every dollar that lie re.
coivcs. Such an analysis brings to
light many facts which are likely to
surprise even those who think them
selves familiar with the Govern
mcnts expenditures.
For example, We pride ourselves
on being a peaceloving nation and
laugh at the folly OF Europe's enor-
nous armies and nuyies. Yet we
spend more i'll preparation for war
than for any other one thing. Out
OF every dollar Uncle Sam receives
o. cents goes to maintain tho army
and navy.
The next largest EXPENSE cents
out OF every dollar--is for rivers
ana harbors. The Panama Canal
costs cents; agriculture, fisheries
and forestry, 4 cents: the Indians.
J i cents. and Congress-, | cent. The
remainder Of every dollar goes %

maintain surplus in the Treasury.
