it will come into practical use.

flashing Of CONV|CTS
IS ENDED IN GEORGIA,
SAYS COMMISSIONER

The bad odor which has arisen
state convicts will have a wholesome
effect on prison conditions in neigh
boring states. and guarantee that
there will be no return to former
methods of punishment, in the opin-
ion of jude T. E. Patterson, of
the Georgia prison commission.
"The trouble in Florida Is main
1y attributable to the leasing of
short term prisoners" Judge Pat
terson declared ITO make all the
profit possible out Of short term
men, the companies leasing them
were forced to have their guards
work such men as much as posi-
BILE. Under these instructions, the
guards, possibly without meaning to
be unduly cruel, drive the men on
until they reach the limit of their
endurance. In many cases they are
weaklings anyway, having been
loafers in the cities they came from.
I'VE experienced the same trou-
BILE in Georgia years ago, under the
lease system as employed here. With
the long term men, where the COM
panies could afford to tougher them,
there was not so much trouble"
Judge Patterson IS of the opinion
that neither the lease system nor
1ocI, will return t0 (I6Or-
gia prison camps.
There has been very little trou-
BILE in any Georgia camp since the
lash was banned" Judge Patterson
stated. Instead of turning their
prisoners back to the commission,
as many of the counties first threat
ened to do when the order became
effective, the majority of counties
in the state are asking for more
men,"
Various methods have been adopt
ed in Georgia camps as substitutes
for the lash, Judge Patterson stat
ed. A warden in one south Georgia

ing two tables, with the same food.

and the other with a sign reflect

Other wardens deprive the refrac-
tory convicts of all except the plain
est food.
| In some camps dungeons have
been constructed, and in others
chains are used, but these punish
ments are applied only in extreme
cases, and the occasions are very
rare, according to Judge Patterson.
The tendency is to appeal to the
better nature Nof the convict, and
his pride.
despite his condition. the aver
age convict has very high sense

Judge Patterson stated. ANY dis

AL|B| IS CLAIMED
FOR THE DEFENSE
IN FLOGG|NC TRIAL

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May ST.
Ernest G.. Jacks, on trial on a
charge of participating in the fog
ging of DR.. J. D. Bowling, health
officer, on May II last year, was a
member of theater party at the
hour the state charges the whipping
took place, according to testimony
Wednesday Of A. H. Walker, mer-
chant, of Ketona.
Walker testified that Jacks was
with him and others from early eve
ming until near midnight on the eve
ming the flogging took place.
On cross examination, the witness
admitted he did not remember
whether he witnessed a vaudeville
show or a motion picture at the
theater he said the party attended.
r. NJ. Garvick testified that he
was member of the theater party
among whom was the defendant.
Can't Remember Program
Cross-examined, the witness was
asked: What was the first thing
on the program"
II don't remember"
Questioned further concerning
events of the evening, the witness
testified he did not remember the
nature of any of the acts on the
program.
Attempts of the defense to estab-
lish an alibi were fought at every
point by states counsel, who pressed
the witness with a running fire of
searching questions,
Continuing it's efforts to establish
an alibi, the defe~se called other
members Of the alleged theater par
~ to the stand. Newman Thomp-
son, former partner in business with
Jacks. testified he went to a theater
party with Jacks and others on the
night of the flogging.
Thompson, when partner of
Jacks, had made protest to the city
commission concerning health laws
he testified. The state previously
had sought to show malice on the
part of Jacks and other dairymen
against DR.. Bowling because of his
rigid enforcement of milk ordj-
nances.

brought tart replies, snapped out,
and filters from spectators. Judge
Steele was forced to rap constantly
for order. Once during the morn
ing session, court recessed while
deputies cleared aisles and passage
ways of persons crowding toward
the bar.

Efforts to impeach testimony of
the states star witness, Charlie CBo)
Tison, who testified he was a mem.
Der Of the whipping mob, created a
feature Of the session. F. D. Boyd,
Ketona dairyman, testified that
Tison aided him in treating a sick
cow on the night of the floggtng.
The witness said they worked with
the cow all night, and that neither
OF them left the premises Of the
witness.
On cross-examination, Boyd testi-
fled that the health department had
inspected his dairy and tested his
milk.
WAS Tison competent to wait on
a sick cow" the witness was asked
by states counsel.
"As much as was"
WAS he q good worker?"
Yes, but he lacked little bit of
what I lacked a whole lot Of"
What do you mean by that?"
49, II don't know - : ~
50 A roar of laughter followed the
answer, and Judge Steele restored
order with difficulty.
