ATLANTA, July 21 William

committed to thd prison farm at
Milledgeville, according to letters
read late this afternoon to the house
pentientiary committee, which is in-
vestigating the gamblers escape some
time ago
The communications recommended
Powers as a cline fellow and moaaEY
prisoner and requested,s that he be-
shown consideration.
When they were read to the CONF

one expressing surprise at the prom
inence of the authors, and Chairman
Davison's policy in refusing to make
the letters public at the time they
first were placed in his possession by
Warden Smith.
When newspaper reporters inter-
viewed the Fulton county officials
after Powers escape from the penf-
tentiary, denials were issued to re-
ports that the convict had been rec
commended to the farm authorities.
Neither Mr.. HowafS nor Deputy
Bazemore could be reached this af-
ternoon for statement regarding
the letters with thor signatures at

Following the hearing today, the
committee will go to Milledgeyille
tomorrow afternoon to visit the farm

Smith. Developments Of the session
this afternoon Indicate that further
sensational disclosures will be made
before the investigation ends.
