' EVIDENCE CUMULATIE v OorQO Every Nfqht S For Constipation: HeAdacheJfodistioiuta IOANDHETI1 Safe and Sure H nirn Tims Far, Only Point on Which All Witnesses ancLOfficials Are Agreed Is That Housing Arrangements On Both Farms Are Bad and Need Improving When th leglalqtiv committee inves tigating condition at the 8tt PriB hn adjourned last night at 1:30 o'clock nnttl S o'clock Wednesday after soon. It had to bear only a few remain -lag witnesses to be Introduced by Su perintendent J. Ij, Mann in rebuttal of testimony brought before the commit to. . The teatimonjr yesterday was largely of cumulative nature both for the prison maaagenient and ago i nut it. Daring the morning, Superintendent Mann bad presented numerous wit asaee to testify to the character, hu manity and ability of Captain Bhem 'and Captain Christian besides other , officials against whom adverse criticism jhaa been bronght. When the hearing closed for the day, after a two-hour Horning aeasion and four and a half i hoar afternoon session, Warden 8. J. Busbes and Captain Christian had been examiaed in their own behalf. Thus far, the one point upon Which i all witnesses and officials agree, is that ;the housing arrangements on the farm ar bad. Captain Christian declared that to every legislative eommittee I which has visited the Farm during his : fifteen years of supervising there, be ' had recommended new quarters. Captain J. J. Lflugbinghouse, former . Superintendent of the Prison, in bis .testimony at the morning session strongly advocated a pardon board, ds . daring that prisoners reeeivingfpardon - now are those with friends who have In- ' , fluenee with the Governor. He stoutly denied, too, that eonvieta can be ef ft , elently handled without corporal pun tahmSnt. " Captain Langhingho'uee was on the .stand at 11 o'clock when the morning eealoa closed and he concluded his tea ,timoay at the afternoon session begin ning at three. i Senator George Rolderness. member af the Board of Directors of the Prison ! when Solomon Shepherd, negro convict, I was shot,' repeated the statement be made at tgfe board at the investigation , which then occurred In which he bold that the shooting of the negro when shackled, was nothing abort of murder. Be attributed the highest characters to Captain Bhem and Captain Christian, i put held that they have inherited 1 system that la far behind the advanced . thought of the day. Ha said that theJ ' attituds of the prison ooard when he j was a member was to make money ent af the farm. , 1 will confess," he said, "that when 1 1 was a member of the board, I wu imbued with the idea" that seems to I strike every man as soon as he becomes a memebr, that la to make as muen money as possible out of the prison. We found the quarters for the stock and . the men at the prison farm run down, and the very first thing we did was to erect a building for the stock." Ht added, however, that he favored thin with the mental reservation that : something shonld bo dona for the con victs later. Bs differed with Captain Laugbing hous on the 'fitness of Warden Busbee j and declared that bad his resignation ' as supervisor of a prison camp, during his own service on tho board, not been turned in, Mr. Busbee would have been removed. Tor what cause t" asked Representa tive Beaaley. Tor his handling of tho prisoners and for drunkenness allowed in the camp there," be answered. ' ' Sheriff J. A. House of Halifax appear ed before the committee to say the char acters of Captain Rhem and Captain Christian are good. He expressed the opinion 'that the long handling of pris oners, even tho whipping of them, would not tend to harden a man but to make him more lenient. Mr. L G. Shaw, B. T. T. earrler, from Halifax to tho 8tate Farm bad" fine " words for tho farm aupervisors, treat ment and eare of convicts, and tbe ab- 'scnee of abuse of any kind. He testi fied that he had seen Steward D. B. Ball, ttndet tho influence of liquor, while la tho stockade on duty, bnt had never seen him incapacitated. ' G. E. Bnrgwyn told tho eommittee ttkewiso of the good character of the supervisors and tho fine management of tho farm. Ho was asked by Mr. Hins dale if he could explain why Captain Bhem whipped 84 prisoners in a year and a half and Captain Christian 1 whipped 224, according to tho records. Be eonld not. ; Farmer Prisoner Testifies. vn - B. I Grant, former convict who was neat- to the State Prisoa from Asbe ville for- an year for embezzlement, told the committee that he did not em ploy a lawyer to light his ease bnt de cided. When the charge was brought, simply to tell the court his story and if convicted to try prison life aa a new experience. , He found ,A at Captain - Christian1! eamp, according to kla tes timony, Insufficient food, unhealthy con ditio, dusty blankets, one sheet most af the time, one towel during his entire term, and bug floating about in peas served for. dinner. : In addition, there waa a general mixture of the races la the scramble for place at-the washing - trough. Be repeated the story of George Snyder, already heard by .the eommittee and declared he found nothing at the farm tending to elevate a man, morally, mentally, or physically..., ; he had been discharged recently by. Warden Busbee became Mr. Busbee had been told by a prisoner he whipped that Seagrev was going to help prcee cnte him whea he got ant. Tbe former - guard denied this. He had heard War den Bnsbee whip one man. He gave .hint fifteen or twenty licks. It was the enatent, he aid, after whipping, to lock the eonviet In a dark eelL . He declared that the eamp at Whitley was the worst lis he ever saw men work, free or mot Owen k4o4hovommitawfr-yts free, end recited dangers undergone there from the nature of the work dons by convicts. On cross lamination by Superintendent Mann, be denied that it was because of bis unfriendly and critical attiMV toward Mr. Busbee, the warden, that he was dismissed. Investigation, Not Prosecution. Xt this point, Superintendent Maaa addressed tbe eommittee warmly. "Mr. Chairman.'' be asked, I would like to know whether this is an investi gation or a prosecution I" He was' in formed by Chairman Turner that it waa an investigation, pure and simple. Superintendent Mann then stated that it had come to his knowledge that there warone witness, an ex-convict, who had not been called, although present, and intimated that It was for the reason that Mr. Hinsdale had found out that he would testify to good treatment ac corded prisoner at the farm. Chair man Turner suggested that he was at liberty ' to call anyone he sbosa, but he declined to call an ex-convict, where upon Mr. Hinsdale put 6. W. Sparbeek, the man referred to, on the stand. - The witness told of having seen con victs at the eamp of Captain Christian ditching in cold water, op to their knees and some timet hips in wator, with the usual clothing, as a distance of a quarter of a mile or more from quar ters. He tod of the shooting of Mark Deans, testifying that Captain Chris tian had condemned it. Ha had seen nine men whipped in one morning. For himself, he had been well treated, but he considered the food Inadequate, bous ing arrangements had and hours of work too long. He declared his belief, how ever, that whipping is essential as a protection for peaceable prisoners against unruly.' Dr. J. R. Rogers, physician at the central prison here, told of physical ex aminations given prisoners when they ar sent to prison before being trans ferred to the various eamp, and then Warden & J. Busbo took the stand. Warden Enters Denial. -.The warden denied generally all the evidence Introduced against him, par ticularly as to his whipping. Hs testi fied tbst 25 licks were the most he ever administered and he had been in the service of the prison for 22 or 23 years, having risen from the position of guard. At tho Whitney camp dangerous con ditions of which hal been refsrrsd to in other testimony be testified that he had 220 convicts working there and. five died In nine months. On cross-examination by Representa tive Beaelcy he said he had made no study of prison systems of other States and worked along line or his own ex Derlenee with prisoners. He did not understand exactly what the indeter minate sentence was, ami waa not la favor of some of the Ideas Jiat Warden Osborne sdvaneed. Following Warden Busbee' testimony a number of witnesses were examined, all of whom gave him an excellent char acter. They were Messrs. J. A. Brlggs, .1. Fleming, Thomas A. Partln. C. B. Edwards, Gilbert Crahtree and Mr. Row land. Csptsln Chrlstlsa Testifies. Captain C. N.

The guard Whitfield, h said. who shot a convict was discharged by him and the solicitor of the district was requested to prosecute. He escaped Into Virgiii La, however, and no action was taken. lie declared that Traywicta's story of the guard who -struck the paralytic was his i first information concerning it. Gus Hal), who was shot climbing over the stockade, bo testified; was about to be whipped for attempt ing to kill another negro with an axe. He declared he had yelled to the guards not to shoot, when he saw it was Gus, but some of them did not hear him. He had no way of knowing, he said, that Calvin Mearea, wh , died in the field, had been suffering with a leaking heart. Grady Davis, the mountain boy who waa whipped, he declared, refused to work. . I aever was informed that I had broken ths skin," he said. "It Is not my intention to do this and I have never pun'shed a man who did not know that he had broken a rule." Captain Christian testified that sev enty-five per cent of the whippings were administered for violation of rules. He told of tho sanitary arrangements of the eamp, joined with other in con demning the living quarters and stated that for fifteen years, as supervisor ef the . farm, he has been recommendine to legislative committees that suitable buildings be erected. The witness de scribed improvement of conditions by Installation or Iron punks in the sleep ing quarters, and agreed with a member of the eommittee that white and colored prisoners might be separated in the use of the washing facilities. Captain Christian testified that be never got mad when he whipped a eonvlct. it was always don through a sense of duty and-Ahe more he whip the more h dis like to have to whip. Enloglx Manser meat. Testimony for the State rrison, all Introduced to show the high character of theprison management, particularly the quality of supervision exercised by Captain Christian and Captain Bhem of the State prison farms, consumed the two hours of the committee' sitting yesterday morning, without d'-sent, thomanagement was leaded to the high est and the witnesses united in agree ing that even if tbe Stat Prison system were changed to abolish corporal pun ishment, tbe two men would be excel lent supervisors, especially fitted, br reason of their long service. "I aont believe there are two better a'itWii'Mthrtiatf I have heard a great many say that they ! have bee well treated."

Following this testimony Mr. Fits Patrick, of Halifax, testified to the good character and atsnding ef the super visors aad denied that the prison em ployes are men of low type. He was followed by Capt. J.J. Lahghinghous. former superintendent of the State Prison. Declaring hi faith in the supervisors st the farm. Captain Lnoghingbous said t "I don't believe there are any two men In the State who ean take their places snd perform the service to pris oners and the State they are doing." He added hi belief that they are in capable of being inhumane to prisoner. Wants FareewJag Bear. The former superintendent advocated Mthe establishment of a pardoning board. F" "Hn chanira ttiat wnnlA twnftt mar than anything els would be to take the pardoning power out of the hands of the Governor and put it in the hands of a pardoning board. Men who are pardoned now ar those who have friend who in turn are friends ef the Governor and can influence him to turn them out" . Tbe abolition of capital punishment. he held, would be the biggest mistake ever made and he said the record of every Stats in the Cnlon which bad taken this step was against it. He told th eommittee that he had made about 190,000 a year for tbe Stat including the permanent improvements out of the prison system during his ad ministration and had spent 960,000 ad the improvement of stables and installa tion of waterworks at the farm. Tbe committee adjruraed for loa.-h with Captaiq Leughlngnouse still oa the stand. At the resumption of tbe sit ting be explained the birth of the mu latto child, referred to in preceding evi dence, and declared Captain Rhea wsa not responsible for th conditions whU-h made it possible. The guard guilty, be said, was immediately discharged. Be likewise declared his faith in the inno cence of Mr. Brooks, steward, referred to in connection with charge morality. Captain taoghinghoose then gave the eommittee his version or tbe killing or Solomon Shepherd who was shot making attempt to escape. Prior to tbe (hoot ing, the witneaa said, the negro had made frequent attempts to inflict neh injuries opon himself aa would incapaci tate him for work. "He had often expressed hi purpose either to escape or kill himself," Cap tain Laughlnghonse said. At the par ticular time ef th shooting, he con tinued, the guard nnder whoee supervi sion the negro was had also uadsr his rare fifteen other.- To have chased Shepherd, even though he waa shackled, whea h ran off, would have sseaat thst all or a somber ef th fifteen would have escaped. No other guard was near. There was nothing else to do, the wit ness held, but to shoot. "Everybody waa glad th negro was gotten rid of," h concluded, "beeaaes be wae aa Innate brute." - - - Be paid tribute to the high discipli narian qualifications of Warden 8. J. Busbee aad declared hla appointasent one of ths beat acta ef the Craig ad ministration. "I have already recommended to Gov ernor Birkett that he be reappointed as Warden of the 8tai PriMa," be declared. there is' a reputable man living la tea miles of Halifax who wpald not fa glad to come up here and test if); in their behalf," declared former Senator Stead -man, who wae tbe first witness sxamla ed He added that the prisoner are well fed, well clothed, well cared fee aad he had never known- of any ( Inhumanity Doing practice a against tnem. t t .
