of the United States that relations be-

REFORMATORYG GIRL

BEDFORD, ~ Y. Dec. 13.-Maizie
Rice, pretty girl inmate of the Bed
ford Reformatory for Women, swore
to a narrative of tortures in testify
ing before an investigation committee
under the leadership of John S. Ken
nedy, vice president of the State
prison commission.
"On August /, after seven days of
bread and water diet, 1 called for Miss
Minoge, the assistant superintendent
said Maizie. 81 only wanted to ask
why L was being kept on bread and
water, but she came in with three
men. One threw a blanket over my
head and almost smothered me. When
he took it of. Miss Minoge hit me
over the head with her ring of keys.
They caught in my hair and she drag
ged me up and down tn corridor fve
times. Then / was strung up" with
my feet two inches off the floor"
How do you happen to remember
the date?" Kennedy asked.
TIL never forget it," the girl re-
piled. II even carved it on the wall
Of my CELL"
NO ENCOURAGEMENT, She Says.
Il would be a good girl if they
would give me a show. but there is
no encouragement here for any girl
who tries to make good or reform. We
are not allowed to read nor to talk.
We can't do anything. If we say the
least little thing out of the way the
matron says bread and water Those
are the first words out of her mouth"
Thomas Quinn, a guard, preceded
the girl tho Stand and said that
when he went to the disciplinary bar
racks on August ! he heard Maize
Rice pleading with Miss Minoge.
"She was saying please don't string
me up. / have weak heart and I'm
afraid 1t will kill me-" Quinn testi-
fled. They had cut her hair to dis
entange the heavy keys"
Riot Interrupts Hearing.
The hearing was interrupted by q
half-hour's riot in one of the barracks
when twenty-five screaming negro
girls rnashed windows and attack ed
the guards with strips of carpet The
Investigators learned that the dis.
turbance followed a threat to lock
up all the girls because an article OF
apparel had been stolen.
Stella Kramer, discharged after q
three-year term for shoflifting, testi-
fled that, owing to the rigid enforce.
ment of the "silence system" the girl
inmates resorted to the surreptitious
passing of notes. Those who were
caught suffered severe punishments
she said.
II got twenty days bread and water

testified. Later 1 was taken to the
