DISAGREED
WHIPPING POST
Clerk of Peace Wright
Finds 1t Deters Crime,
Writer Says
MR.. RENHARDT SEES
LASHES AS FAILURE

Joseph S. Jordan. writer. Of
New York, who interviewed officials
and attorneys in this city this week
on the effect OF the whipping post
as a deterrent Of crime, following
the suggestion Of Justice Fawcett.
Of Brooklyn, that the lash should be
applied to convicted men monthly,
had an interesting article in last
nights issue OF the Evening World.
Mr. Jordan in his article quoted
John l.. Wright, Clerk Of the Peace,
as saying:
They don't come back. The lash
Is degrading and # keeps profess
sional crooks out OF Delaware. At
least, II is very seldom that they re-
turn for a second beating.
Last fall Wilmington was over
run by hold-up men from Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York. It
wasn't safe for anybody to be on the
street after dark. Legislature pass
ed the law making highway robbery
punishable by twenty years in prison
and forty lashes on the back and the
highwaymen disappeared like fur
ries of snow before the morning sun.
A negro was convicted OF selling mar
cotics last week and sentenced to
three years and to receive ten lashes.
He has appealed the case. He didn't
mind the prison sentence. but
shrunk at the lash.
Former Attorney General David ].
Reinhardt. who only recently made
way in Office for Sylvester ID. Town
send, the incumbent. is opposed TO
the post, according to Mr.. Jordan.
His successor, having been sworn
TO carry out the law, is mute on the
subject
Mr.. Reinhardt is quoted as say
ing
II am very much opposed 10 the
whipping-post and do not believe
that it is a deterrent TO law-break-
ing. II degrades and bruulizes the
prisoner. and generally makes OF
him a hardened criminal. believe
in long terms OF imprisonment for
offenders OF the law.
The whipping-post for wife-beat-
ers is a joke. and that is one reason
why ! am against the lash. The man
who has any friends or influence
can get away from it. Out OF
twenty-five or thirty convictions for
wife-beatng while 1 was in office
only two men were whipped.
ITS a fable that safe-crackers

Warden Mordecai Smith Plumme
who has been in charge OF the Cas-
tie County Workhouse for tn
past year. is said TO be out of sym
pathy with the whipping-post, bu
yet he personally applies the lash.
