Continuing, Sergeant Bauer, who

said:
81 know great deal about prison
farm number Q, for four of my pals in
my company went through it, and they
told me afterward it was worse than a
living hell. -
civilian Jones, soldier SIS years
old, hailing from San Francisco, was
| there, and what he recited to me after
ward could hardly believe Jones told
me that as soon as he was called before
Smith he was attacked by sergeant
who we learned came from Seattle. Jones
said he was knocked down without warn
ing, and all the money on his peprson
was removed. And he never got it back.
Jones also told me it was nothing
usual. for the prisoners upon being
brought before the prison officers, to be
searched and then never hear from the
money AGAIN
o1Tbo other tbree soldiers who wore
