nberately lifting his feet and allowing
the chain to choke him.
Along with the indictments. the

prison conditions, charging Capt. j. H.

the camp officials engaged in such
practices as kicking the convicts, beat
ing them with big sticks and rubber
hose and giving them overdoses of
medicine

The Byrd law. named for the origi-

provisions permitting the Governor to
remove defaulting county officers from
their positions, the bill making Is q
and malfeasant for
treasurers to hold out tax tickets, the
general reduction in State paid fees, the
Page bill making lighter certain prohi-
bition penalties, the new amateur box
ing concessions, new measures designed

Of others. including the Wicker repeater.
which in one stroke wipes 48 obsolete
laws from the statute books. Many Of
them are local measures.
Among the exceptions to 90-day ef-
fective provision is the appropriations
law, which is effective with the tnau-
guration Of the new fiscal year July !.
