Sonner said be and Miss Braswell were riding late yestereday when they picked up the young man whom he knew only as “Jimmy.” Reaching a imint where they had a good view of Clreen River Cove, Sonner said he stopped the machine. While viewing the valley a quarrel arose, he said, and “Jimmy” suddenly seized Bon ner’s revolver from the seat beside him and shot Miss Braswell. As Sonner sprang for his seat and start ed for the other, he was met by two bullets in quick succession, he assert ed. and when he regained conscious ness the assailant had disappeared.

C., THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1926 GOVERNOR HEM mm mm DIIIG U *' ' t Indicates That Charges of; Inhuman Treatment of; Prisoners at State Farm Are Without Foundation; SAID PRISON WAS i j “OUTPOST OF HEL*” The Tribune’s Raleigh Cor-! spondent States Facts,! Which Are Given to Ourj Readers. Tribune Bureau, Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, July B.—Governor A. W. McL tan does not expect to reply to the .letter of E. K. Dudding presi dent of the Prisoners’ Relief Society, made public in Washington some days ago, in which he characterized the State Prison Farm at Caledonia as an "Outpost of Hel.”, charging that prisoners were subjected to cruel and inhuman treatment and that six had been shot to death by guards while attempting to .escape. The Governor indicated that the charges were without foundation and that hence they were to be <Unre garded. The letter of Dudding to the Governor was given much prominence on the first page of a Raleigh morn ing newspaper, under the headline "N. C. Prison Farm Described as an Outpost cf Hell." The same morning newspaper a few days before had carried a story supposed to have come from a prisoner named Tug Flannigan, who had just completed a sentence at Caledonia, in which he told of alleged cruel and inhuman treatment, among other tilings as serting Elijah Larrimore, who was drowned in the Roanoke river at Ihe Farm on June 8. bad in reality been shot in the back by one of the guards while trying to escape. In order to get at the facts in the ease. The Tribune correspondent de cided to launch an investigation of his own. And the following facts were learned: First, that Larrimore was not shot.' but drowned while trying to swim the river ufter making a brfcnk tot liberty, as rejiorted by Tribune correspondent on the day which lie was drowned. A telegram whs sent to Y\\ C. Williams, eoronor and' undertaker who prepared Larri more’s body for burial, asking if there were any gun shot wounds in his body. YY'illiams replied that there “were no signs of his being shot," stating that his body was taken out of the river on the opposite side from the point where he at tempted to escape, and that he bad drowned. It also developed that the only person who saw Larrimore drow n and who gave the alarm and called for help in an nttemp to res cue him, was this same Tug Flan nigan. who at the time was serving ns water boy for the gang in which Larrimore was working, and who, when released, charged that Larri more had been ki led by a guard shooting him in the back. Another charge that was found to be groundless wns that prisoners were compelled to work while shack led und that guards had fired on them, though trying to escape m shackles, which is virtually impos sible. Investigation showed that only class C prisoners—the lowest grade —are ever put in shackles, and that these are rarely woiked on the open farm in gangs, been use of the fact that it is nearly impossible for them to work while shackled. Prisoners are, put in shackles only for short periods of time as punishment for gross infraction of the rules, nnd are generally kept within the prison en closure during this period. In his letter to the Governor, IYud ding charges that six prisoners have been killed by guards while at tempting to escape, but he does not specify the lehgth of time over which these six are distributed. A search of the prison records reveals, how ever, that three men have been killed while attempting escape in the period from 1921 to 1926, covering the last five years. And in this same period 213 have attempted to escape; thus the percentage of those killed while trying to escape is seven-tenths of one per cent. In this same five year period, two other men besides Larri- more were drowned, also while try ing to escape. They were brotners, Lawrence and Y r olley Weaver. They escaped on May 20, 1924 and Law rence's body was found in the river June 3. Volley's on June 5. The coroner’s inquest showed that neith er had been .shot, but that death had been caused by drowning. The three prisoners who were killed by guards while attempting to escape were John McNally, February 20. 1925; John Henry Goins, May 30. 1925 and George Martin, May 30. t!)25. The other charged contained in Mr. Dudding’s letter was that a prisoner named Charles Grady had been put in solitary confinement for 28 days oil bread and water and that l at the end of this period he was so] weak that he was unable to stand. alone. Then, because he could not work, he was again put in solitary on bread and water, when he at tempted to commit suicide, and was saved only by a miracle, Dudding al leges. YVhat this “miracle” was, he does not indicate. Here are the faets in Grady's case as obtained from the official prison register: : Charles Grady, sentenced to from two to three years for larceny. A second tenner, with a very bad record. Class C. prisoner sentenced iGARROTE UED FOR | IST EXECUTION IN CUBA IN 20 YEARS I I | j Salvatore Aguilera Put to Death for Murder of Aunt —Convict Operat i ed the Garrote. •NEGRO WAS AIDE TO THE CONVICT j ! Garrote Used to Break the t Spinal Column at Base ! of Brain and 11 Minutes Was Required in Case. Santiago, Cuba.. July B.—(As)—Sal vatore Aguilera was put to death by the garrote today for the murder of his aunt in March. 1924. It was the first execution in Cuba in 20 years. The garrote which breaks the spinal column at the base of the neck by the turning of a screw, was operated by Francisco I’auln Romero, a convict Frank Davis, a 59 year old negro of Savannah. Ga.. and a veteran of the battle of San Juan hill, who is serv ing a two year sentence for robbery, wns the assistant executor. Aguilera died 11 minutes after the garrote was applied. He broke down us the time for the execution np proached, and it was necessary to ad minister restoratives before lie could be placed in the chair and the brass collar adjusted abodt his neck. Aguilera's execution is the twenty first in the history of the Cuban re public. The last pree'ous was' on June 12. 1900, in Havana. About seven' years. ago the Cuban Senate passed a bill nbolislrng capi tal punishment, but it never was ful-. ly ratified. I>ast year the House of Representatives resurrected the bill from a mass of tabled legislation, but no further action lias been taken on it. The garrote is a relic of the Spanish regime in Cuba.

Plan to Increase Live Stock Raising. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh. July 7. —Now is the time 1 for farmers to begin making plans to increase their livestock raising, es pecially as indications are for a heavy cotton crop, with its consequent de crease in prices, the State depart ment of agriculture advises, as prices j for stock are strong and likely to go higher any time. The farm earnings may be greatly increased by adding several good cows, a dozen or so more hogs or a flock of sheep. Sheep are proving unusually profit able in tbe state at this time, espe cially in the mountain section in the west, or in the coastal section. North Carolina lambs have recently brought as high as $lB a 100 pounds on the eastern markets. It is pointed out that now is the best breeding time and the State department of agricul ture is helping farmers and flock owners to secure rams wherever they need them. “Raise more livestock and be in dependent of tiie cotton crop,” is the advice which the department is giv ing. And many farmers are finding I it to their advantage to follow it 1 out. Franc Sagged Again Today.
