BY the Associated Press
ATLANTA, June 19.-Inadequate
food. unclean cages, and, In Scme in
stances bad treatment are reported in
Georgia prison camps by two legislative
investigating committees.
To remedy the situation the commit
tees recommend that the Ten Command
ments be pcsted prominently in each
camp. that doors and windows be
butter and more milk be given pris-
oners.
Wardens Issue DenialS.
The reports of the committees were
made yesterday after visits to camps in
the Southwestern part cf the State. The
wardenS promptly issued denials that
conditions were as bad as pictured, or
said that they had been or were being
improved. One warden. c. w. Bean OF
the Cook County Camp, said the Ten
Commandments were pcsted there, and
T. c. Cox. warden of the Crisp County
Camp, said his prisoners had Bibles and
read them regularly.
Bean said his prisoners got no milk or
butter, because the prison commission
does not require this" but Cox said the
convicts Of his camp were given milk
occasionally"
Prisoner Wearing Chain.
One of the committees reported that
a white prisoner was found in Macon
County with a heavy chain around his
neck, fastened with a heavy lock. and
was made to work at the same time. @
E. Worthington, the Macon County
warden. admitted the truth Of this
statement, but slid the chain was only
four feet long and was used as fern
OF punishment. He added that after the
chain had been worn for a few days the
convict became model prisoner"
Both committees said that living con-
ditions in camps visited were generally
found to be healthful. but in Cook
County Camp convicts were housed tr
uncle3n cages and food was served In
unclean surroundings. To this charge
Bean replied that conditions have been
improved and we're doing the best that
we can"

Dorothy were going into the city on the

asked me to go, and Mrs. Camp was
going to see her aunt in San Rafael. SO
she said that Dot and I could have

vict Herbert Franklin Niccolls to-
day started his term Of life
imprisonment as a murderer with
but one concern uppermoSt in
his mind-to what extent would
he still be allowed to play his
beloved cornet and harmonica?
Herbert played simple, childish
tunes at Asotin, Wash, as he
waited to be taken to the bleak
prison where he was condemned
for the shooting Of Sheriff John
Wormell, who surprised the lad
during the burglary Of q country
store.
Innocent of Irony
And during the long automo-
bile ride to Walla Walla he made
the countryside echo to the notes
Of TAPS" and Home, Sweet
Home" tunes he selected, inno-
cent Of the irony implied.
At ASotin as he waited in the
court house he started out on his
harmonica only to lay it down,
saying:
II guess I had better not play
any more for 1t might disturb
them up there"
He pointed upward to the court
room where a jury had found
him guilty of first degree MUIR
der.
For the time being the musical
instruments have been taken
from him.
Herbert was admitted to the
prison yesterday afternoon, as
signed No. 1873, and placed in a
three-foot cell with iron cot and
chair.
Can Read Music

ASotin and on the automobile
