ment, and one dangerous to health

ticn of an intelligent and human.
surgeon.
3. The ball and chain. A very
heavy iron ball, with an unduiy long
chain, is riveted and welded on to
the ankle of the prisoner, and every
where the poor devil goes, working or
walking, he has to carry that ball.
a sled why Il cruel and foolish thing
like this is put on q man, you are told
tn he tried to escape" and that this
IS to keep him from running too fast.
Quite often eg-piece, bar of iron,
is welded on to the ankle band. and
this leg-picce is spiked at the lower
end. When adjusted on the prisoner
the spiked end extends about two inch
es beyond the leg, and if the convict
attempts to walk fast or run, the spike
sticks into the ground and throws
aim ON his face. The punishment is
also called the ball and spike.
&. The iron mask. There used to
he in the Virginia penitentiary a
strong steel frame, rather like an ex-
aggerated baseball mask, made large
enough to cover mans head and
chest. This Internal machine did not
seem to infict any special pain, it
just added to the brutalizng effects
CT system tnat tolerated and took
pleasure in such punishments. l du
not think it has been used at the
penitentiary for years.
Z. The Cross. This mode cf punish.
lnent is brutal and extremely cruel.
The prisoner is spread eagled out on
his back on tie floor and locked by
handouts to iron rings or stobs in tho
ilcor. The cross is modification of
the track" of the spanish Inquisition.
To the informed or initiated nothing
more need b said to show its absolute
brutality.
People who would extenuatc such
punishment say that mattress is
placed under the prisoner before he
IS sprcad-cagled out and locked down,
mattress is the refinement of
cruelty. The prisoner by having his
chest and back raised is put into a
much more strained and stretched DO
sition, and his suffering is corresponds
ingly increased. Truly brutal ana
Hunnish mode of inflicting pain.
8. Whipping. This mode of punish
ment is quite the thing in the state
prison here. 1t is Il debasine form
of punishment and do not believe it
should only be administered as a last
resort, and then every possible safe
guard should he afforded the victim,
The superintendent should be reouir-
ed to be present in person when the
stripes are administered. Women
prisoners are always dashed over their
shoulders. Men prisoners are ALWAYS
dashed over the glutal region on the
bare skin. The man is laid over bar

=" \ DELEGATE"

The article in another column from
"a delegate" to the recent Republican
Senatorial convention, expresses mild
ly regret" that the Republican plat
form did not please the editor of the
G. V. News and his sarcastic CORE
spondent.
The League of Nations plank in the
platform did not please the editor,
and he said SO, and gave his reasons,
the main of which was, that it was
weak, lacked back bone, and in fact,
amounted really to no endorsement or
approval of league ut all, and was
so regarded by leading men of both
parties. Nobody believed that the
league would be adopted as originally
drafted, but all true, loyal Americans
believed in and were in favor of a
League and strong one-one that
would prevent a recurrence of war
anywhere on this earth, and this pa

pect that stalwart, loyal, patriotic
citizens of this loyal district would
stand four square and declare in no

put the world on peace basis. This

1t VIVA for these reasons and these
