cases of unexplained deaths among
them.
Brutal Tortures Alleged
Among charges set forth in the
letter are;
Suspension of conviets bv wrists
and ankles in stocks In Early coun-
ty; stocks used in Monroe and Mad
ison counties: convicts put in bar
rell' in Banks county. this punish
ment evidently being similar to that
inflicted on Arthur Maillefert in the
recent Florida. case. Mr.. Spivak
photographed Warden J. d. Williams
lacing a handcuffed convict to a
concrete post. A rope was tied to
the links in the handouts. This
rope was cast about another post
and convict was stretched until the
rope was taut and his arms were
almost pulled from their sockets
With the convict in this position
the rope was tied around the sec
ond post and the victim left
stretched in the sun.
Convict photographed in Decatur
county wearing spikes riveted around
his ankles. These weights cause
"shackle poison" from infection and
prevent the convict from getting any
real rest; whenever he tries to turn
in sleep the spikes force him to
wake and raise his legs to turn over.
Cites Commissioner's Attitude
The letter declares that Mr.. Spi-
yak quotes Commissioner Vivian l..
Stanley as having said:
Georgia feels that the convict
has broken State law and conse-
quently does not feel that the State
owes anything to the convict"
The letter asks the three COM
missioners-E L. Rainey, chair
man; G. A. Johns and Mr.. Stanley
Whether Mr.. Stanley's reported
statements is the official attitude of
the commission and whether it is
prepared to defend in public the
charges contained in a memorandum
attached to the letter which outlines
the Spivak allegations.
The six men whose deaths were,
according to the letter, "unexplain-
ed' were Robert Lee Battle, who
died in a chain gang from an "un-
known cause; George johnson, who
died of tuberculosis with evidently
no attempt made to move him to
hospital until too late; George
Neal, who "died in great pain after
writing that the authorities laughed
when he asked for medicine; Chas.
higgins, who died four days after
admission to the camp; John w.
Kendall, accidentally shot, and
John Smith, "killed September 6,
1929" z.
Roger N. Baldwin, director of the
union, said that the union was ready
to bring test case in state or
federal court on behalf of any pris-
oner who is alleged to have been
deprived of his constitutional right
Such action would be taken unleg
the commissioners rectified the al
legged conditions of cruelty in the
prisons, he said. Some of the mis-
treated convicts are white, but most
of them are Negroes.

BANK AT LAUREL
PLANS TO REOPEN
Stockholders And DepOsitOrs Agree
On Plan OF Reiinancing

A large number of the depositOrs,
stockholders and others interested
in the Peoples National Bank of
Laurel, which closed it's doors on
Monday of last wee, have agreed to a
plan under which it is hoped that
the bany may be able to open its
doors and resume business within
Il short time.
Charles S. Hartman, national
bank examiner, presented the plan
for reorganization which guarantees
depOsitOrs one hundred cents on the
dollar. DepOsitors will be permitted
to draw 10 per cent of their deposits
Immediately upon reOpening; 25 per
cent in six months; rs per cent in
nine months; 20 per cent in twelve
months, and 20 per cent in fifteen
months.
The new plan will prevent assess
ment of the 2S3 stockholders and
will insure dollar for dollar returns
to the $500 depositors.
The new plan also calls for $500
new shares at $100 per share to be
sold for $250,00O. Present indica-
tions look very encouraging for the
reopening, as a good sum was raised
at meeting. A tentative list of new
members for the board of directors
also was announced.

DISCUSS MARKET
FOR EGG AUCTION
Plan Is Already Working Success
fully In Other States

At a meeting held in the office of
the State Bureau of Markets at Dow
er last Thursday, under the au-
spices of the Extension Department
of the University of Delaware in
connection with County Agent Will
son, of Kent county, and Snyder, of
Sussex county; Dean McCue, A. d..
Cobb and H. S. Palmer, of the Uni
versity of Delaware, and William T.
Derrickson, of the Bureau of Mar
kets, the possibility and advisability
Establishing an egg auction mar
ket, was discussed.
The plan, as discussed, which has
worked successfully in three places
in New Jersey and one in Pennsyl-
vania, is to select a place where
eggs can be brought for public auc-
ton the same as apples and like
products. The eggs would be inspect
ed and would be rated and classed
according to the grading to size
quality, etc.
1t is proposed, if the market is
established, to have at least two
days a week in some central part of
the State where eggs can be brought
and auctioned to anyone, including
regular buyers, truckers or others
who might be interested in such pur-
chases. 1t was suggested that 500
cases a day would be a good days
sale and being fresh eggs that Il
ready market might be secured for
the same.

The Chamber of Commerce of
Wilmington has issued a warning to
merchants to be on the lookout for
a new racket" which works as
follows:
A man goes into a store, makes a
purchase, pays for it with a $40
bill, receives his change and de-
parts. Shortly afterwards a woman
enters the store and purchases a
small item, giving a 81 bill in pay
ment. Receiving her change, she de-
clares she gave the clerk a $50 bill.

have given the clerk anything but a
$50 bill as that is all the money I
had in my purse. Now that think
of it, a while ago 1 phoned to girl
friend and she gave me telephone
number which 1 marked down on
the corner fthe 500 bill. If there is
a 500 bill in your cash drawer with
a phone number in the corner,
that's mine." Of course, there is
such a bill, as it is the one given
the clerk by the man who had en-
tered the store previously.
Down State merchants should be
on their guard for these swindlers.

Milford Men Drove Old Cadillac To
Philadelphia On Wednesday

Persons using the du POnt High
way on Wednesday witnessed a
sight such as has never been seen
on this modern engineering project,
when an early model Cadillac auto
mobile passed over it on the way
from Milford to Philadelphia. The
car is a 1905 model Cadillac which
is owned by Harry J. Pierce and
Earle B. Atkins, automobile dealer
in Milford. After considerable
search, the car was found in Sails
bury and brought by truck to Mil
ford. 1t was Immediately taken to
Atkins garage where it was put in
first class running condition.
On Tuesday number of persons
here were given ride in the latest
in automobile styles of a quarter
century ago. Much enjoyment was
in store for those who experienced
this novel trip. Mr.. Pierce and Mr..
Atkins left Milford shortly after five
o'clock Wednesday morning in their
ancient chariot. The trip is made
as an entry in the old car derby
which is being sponsored as a part
of this years automobile show in
Philadelphia. In trial speed test
before leaving for Philadelphia the
car made the remarkably fast time
of twenty-three miles per hour.

Of Delaware

Dudley c. Lunt and George N.

GRADES MILK SUPPLY
Announce Grades Given To Dealers
In Milford And Vicinity

The following dairymen have been
given milk permits by the State
Board of Health, according to the
grade of milk which they are SELL
ing and which has been determined
during the past six months from the
last three milk samples collected
from each dairyman and the last
three inspections of the dairy itself.
The milk samples were collected by
an inspector with the State Board
of Health and run in the State lab
oratory, according to the standard
methods of the American Public

The State Board of Health urges
consumers to purchase milk ON the
basis of grades and advocates the
purchase of Grade "A" Pasteurized

grade, and Certified and Grade "a"
Raw milk as the safest raw grades.

NEGRO MURDERER
IS FOUND GUILTY
Jury Returns Verdict
Against Negro In "a
Minutes

Yuel Lee, 59-year-old negro, on
Wednesday was convicted of first
degree murder for the staying, last
October II, of Green X. Davis at his
farm home near Berlin, on the Eas-
tern Shore of Maryland.
The jury in Baltimore County
Circuit Court at Towson, Md, to
which the case was removed on
change of venue from Worcester
county, required but 81 minutes de-
liberation to reach its verdict. Da-
vid Levinson, associate defense
counsel, filed notice of his inten-
tion to ask a new trial.
Under Maryland law, a first de-
gree verdict without recommended
tion of mercy makes imposition OF
the death sentence mandatory.
Judge T. Scott Offutt, who with his
associates, C. Gus GrasOn and Frank
/. Duncan, presided at the trial, de-
ferred sentence pending the new
trial motion.
Judge Offutt gave Levinson until
the end of this week to file his mo-
tion, and tentatively set a week from
Thursday for arguments on it. The
defense attorneys, early in the case,
declared a guilty verdict would be
appealed on the ground the jury
panels were illegal in that they did
not contain negroes.
The court outlined instructions on
the five possible verdicts and the
jury retired at 2:45 p. m. 1t return
ed 81 minutes later and remained
standing while Judge Offutt asked
for the verdict.
1t was announced by Howard
the foreman and the jury
was pOlled by Levinson.
AS the verdict was announced, the
prisoner remained calm and showed
no emotion.
