Prison Cruelties To Governor E. Lee Trinkle
Head Of Relief Society Goes to
Richmond to Expose Abuses
and Present Detailed Pro-
gram for Betterment of Con-
ditions in Penal Institutions
of the Old Dominion.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 30
Earl E. budding, president Of
the Prisoners Relief Society,
with Washington headquarters,
called on Governor Trinkle this
afternoon and turned over to him
eleven affidavits certifying to
alleged brutal and inhuman treat
ment of convicts at the State
prison farm in Goochland county.
He indicated that he was hold
ing back a number of similar
affidavits as reserve ammunition.
He was closeted with the gov
ernor for more than an hour. At
the close of the conference the
governor told newspaper men
that he had taken the matter
under advisement.
Never Went to Farm.
budding admitted that he had
never been to the farm himself. De
spite the fears he harbored that he
might meet with violence in Rich
mond, no harm befell him on the
trip from the railroad station 70
Murphy's Hotel. and he managed to
get to the capitol and back without
mishap. He said, however, that he
would be careful not to stir around
very much at the motel tonight. He
will return to Washington tomorrow
morning.
Col. Parke Deans, secretary 70
Governor Trinkle. met him at thu
depot when he arrived from Wash
ington and escorted him to the hote
in an automobile.
All the affidavits pudding present
ed to the governor We're from George
l.. Craddock, a check flasher, who
was confined at the prison farm
while doing a penal sentence. Grad
dock was pardoned by Governor
Trinkle August rs, when he set VI
plea that II was absolutely neces
sary for him to return to his home
in Canada without further delay to
straighten out a homestead claim.
The Story Of Ed Hunt.
The story which Governor Trinkie
said was without a parallel, and
which is certain to be investigated
involves Ed Hunt, a life-termer at
at the prison farm.
Here is the story OF Ed Hunt, as
told to the governor:
After eight years in prison, Hunt
had virtually abandoned hope OF ever
again enjoying freedom and msngling
w.th his people.
And then-a brighter day dawned
for Hunt. He was called to the
warden's OFF ice to hear some good
news"
Hunt was told that the governor
had granted him a pardon.
There was one little matter, or
condition, that must first be ex-
plain-d, the warden Is said TO have
told Hunt. That was. that he must
first complete the work of plaster
ing the rooms Of the new building
This task would. consume prob

and several plans have been suggested
for carrying out the new procedure.
In speaking of the matter President
Donovan said:
Personally am of the opinion that
there should be appointed a supervisor
of umpires. who will assign them to
games said Mr.. Donovan. "The Phil
