Raleigh, April 19.?Representaive
Sentelle of Brunswick, chairnan
of the hoi: se penal institu- 1
ions committee informally told
he group today that he thought
pecial investigations made by
he committee indicated that two
iegro convicts from Mecklenburg
:ounty had to have their feet am>utated
"due to the criminal negigence"
of camp officials.
Sentelle informally discussed
he proposed report of the comnittee.
He said Woodrow Wilson
Shropshire and Robert Barnes,
he short-term convicts who lost
heir feet after being confined in
solitary cells in an upright position
for several days, should be
jrovided with artificial feet and
jiven employment by the state.
Prison rules and regulations
should be changed so that things
.vhich have happened in the past
sannot occur in the future, Sentelle
said.
A Mecklenburg county grand

of several prison camp
officials blamed for the amputation
of the feet of the prison;rs.
