Four men, negroes, were publicly

Warden NJ. S. Plummer administered
the punishment. He used the regula-
tion whip. about three feet long. Three
of the men flinched under the blows,
but no blood was drawn. The fourth
man took his medicine" with smile.
Unusual interest had been aroused in
the lash!ngs because Of the discussion
throughout the country of the whipping
post rs Il crime deterrent. William y.
pinkerton recently declared whip
pings one Of the. best crime preVcnia-
tivcs. not because of the pain inflicted,
but because of,the stigma it casts uron

class.
The whiprings took place in the jail

Lewis was shacklcd to the post. War

At the end Of the twentieth blow,
Lewis looked around, smiled and ask

He was unshacklcd, put on his coat
and was led back 10 his cell.
Next Leonard Barrett was tied up.

robbery. Barrett flinched. as the blows
were laid on.
Last Two Took It Hard.
John Richardson followed Barrett.

exhibiting any apparent emotion. but
at the twelfth blow he flinchcd. From
then TO the fortieth lash, Richardson

Horace Archy, sentenced 10 forty
lashcs and twenty years imprisonment

he was led to the post. He trclnbled
while Deputy Warden Leach read the
courts sentence. Archy flnchcd
throughout the cn;irc ordeal. He was
able, like the others, TO walk to his cell
unaided after the >fortieth blow.

The shoe frequently referred to in the Old Testament, and which played an important part in buying and selling and in other social usages, was a sandal.
 For the protection of the feet san sals were worn in travelling. made of wood or leather strips, which we're tied about the feet with thongs, the "shoe latchets'' of Genesis and the "latchet" of Mark, wherein John the Baptist predicts the coming of the Christ.
 There cometh one mightier than after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and
 unloose," have come ringing down the ages. Unloosing the latchet and bearing the shoes was among the
 most menial duties, it being the part of slave to carry his masters shoes.
 Indoors the Hebrews wore nothing
 on their feet; for outdoor wear from the simple piece of leather attached to the sole of the foot by leathern latchet to the shaped shoe covering the whole foot. The Assyrian sandal was distinguished from the Hebrew by heel cap by which they are dis tinguished from Jehu's attendants on the obelisk of Shaleamanezer. who wear shoes completely covering the feet.
