'As part of my duties in charge of
the medical department of the peni-
tentiary l have attended all of the
spankings since March 5, 1922, when
| took over those duties. To my
knowledge only three men have been
spanked up to that time and they
were given the punishment on the
same occasion
,"One was a Mexican who was to
get six strokes from the wide strap.
He wilted when only three strokes
were given him and he was given no
more. The next one was a Greek who
was to get ten strokes. He got them
all and could have taken more with
out effecting his physical well-being.
The last one was Pat Murphy, the
fiend who literally cut "Red' McCor-
mick to pieces inside the prison walls
while the two were playing hand ball.
Murphy was to get twelve strokes
and my personal opinion was that
this was just half enough, but the
warden gave strict orders that no
more than twelve strokes were to be
given to anyone.
''None of these men showed any ill
effects and were as good as ever in
| day or two and minded great deal
better than they ever had before.
They were put over specially de-
vised horse with their center extrem-
ity extended and were padded on the
flesh with a strap four inches wide.
| The punishment was painful but was
| not dangerous nor did it cause any
| ill effects. At no time since 1 have
had to be present at these spankings
| administered.
''In 1916 1 was prison physician for
two or three years and attended one
or two spankings during that period
and since my present incumbency
only the ones referred to. 1 think
the spankings were given with ex-
treme moderation. l do not know
anything about the controversy be-
tween the governor and the warden
My duties are in the medical depart
| liiaI 10 WhSic SoiiihS my
activities, My personal opinion is
J that the spankings were not brutal
nor barbarous but given under care
full supervision with a full under
standing cf the subjects physical
ability to stand the punishment"
The "black hole or dark cell form
of punishment has been practiced at
Colorado state penitentiary since al
most the beginning of that institu-
tion The general form of this prac-
tice is to put prisoner who will not
conform to the prison discipline, in
a dark cell with only a board and
blanket to lay on. He is given water
and hard bread sustenance, usually
once day. He stays in that dark
cell from one day to ten days, accord
ing to the gravity of his breach of
discipline and his conduct while
there. Prison officials generally be-
lieve it to be mild form of punish
ment and often inadequate to pro-
duce the desired result. Prisoners
have been known to come out smiling
after incarceration there and taunt
the prison officials on their inability
to subdue them. Visitors to the pen
itentiary are usually shown these
dark cells.

RETROSPECT
A Touch of Pathos for Our
Pioneer Dead

The Phoenix Gazette of Friday
told of the desecrated condition of
Henry Wickenburg's grave on the
crest of a hill south of the track
1t was reiteration of the story told
in the State Miner months ago by
the pen of Sharlot Hall, Arizonas
poet laureate and first historian. She
also told of the desecration of the
last resting place of Bob Groom, pio-
neer member of Arizona's S first terri
torial legislature, which rests in an
alley Uttered up with tin cans, rub
bish and Outhouses in the rear of
the most fashionable residences of
Wickenburg. 1t was one of those
fitting rebukes coming from a noble
hearted, conscientious woman pioneer
that undoubtedly left a sting of re-
morse for cOnsummate neglect Shar-
lot Hall pointed out that the desc
Grated burial place of those old pio-
neers could be made a fitting mem
orial and sainted relic of the old
trail blazers who braved the Apaches
in and around Wickenburg 60 years
ago by appropriately rehabilitating it
as consecrated ground where thous-
ands would come to visit it and hear
the old frontier tales of wars with
the murderous Apaches. The caption
of the story was Father
of Wickenburg rests in Crumbling
Tomb on Open Range 1t is copied
verbatim:
On the rest of a hill just south
of NWi01ynn hI1ro IN n ro&
forgotten tomb, lies all that is mortal
of Henry Wickenburg, founder of the
town and discoverer of the famous old
Vulture mine.
Lizards crawl in and out of the
strange tomb. Vegetation has taken
roots in cracks in the plaster. Cattle
range about the place.
At the death of Wickenburs in 1905
he was buried on his property
Friends walled the grave with brick
and plaster and over the mound of
earth cemented a covering, following
the mold of the rounded earth. In
| later years the earth sank into the
grave and the cement covering col
| lapsed. Adjacent to his grave and in
similar brick structures are the
graves of other pioneers, the old
names now legible being those OF
Lydia J. Cornell and James c. Todd
| Strange tales are told about the
: death of Wickenburg and it's cause
He shot himself, that much is known
definitely. Some say that in his later
years he became interested in spirit
| ualism, willed his property to another
and then was persuaded that the spir-
it's needed him in heaven.
He was born in Germany in 1920.
He migrated to America and in 1852
came to Arizona, locating in the dis
trict that now bears his name. He
discovered what became the Vulture
mine on December 5, 1863. The mine
| later produced $4,000, ,000-being rich
in gold.
