The nature Of the evidence adduc-

The end Of the Winnes case should

been made that convict guards pur-
sued a course indicative Of a desire
10 see the criminal go unpublished

Whether this belief, arising partly

emulation. II il is a fact that
guards at the convict camp baked

in doing so they laid themselves
