’A prominent ~ area resident
l)aU reported to the TIMES early
tJ\ls. week that dogs were being
trained at prison cam1> outside of
Whiteville to attack Negroes.
She said her information sourccs
revealed that Negro inmates
wearing heavily padded protec
tive coats, and white guards are
used in putting dogs through their
training paces.
According to her. the Negro
would stand and be “frisked’’ for
weapons by the white guard, then
pretend to attack the guard. His
attack on the guard would be a
signal for the dog to attack him
in defense of the guard.
Col. Allen admitted that this
procedure miRht have taken place'
at the Whiteville camp, but assert-1
ed that Negro men are not used
exclusively in the role of the at
tacker in the training of dogs.
He said the role of the attacker
in the Whiteville camp would nor
mally be that of Negro because
the camp houses only Negro in
mates. But he also explained that
in other camps, such as an all
white unit at Alleghaney, the at-
tacker’q role •would be assumed
by a white prisoner.
