Ih his c-r to the 'crand
-fury t.1& rieblok tt'Mlut
yesterday morning Judge CJar-,
ter laid special stress on the
duty of the jurymen to ascertain -
the cojOiditions of the County
jail and of the county chain
gang. "I ha vie to sentence men
to this chain gang' ' Judge Car
ter said, ' 'both from your own
and other counties and I wont
to le assuired, as far as I can,
that it is properly maintained
and conducted. "
In making his charge Judge
Carter took loccaHsioto to say
that the county chain gang in
his opinion was an inhuman in
stitution. To tiend a man
where he will be put to work
in stripes and chains and under
a gun he characterized as bru
talizing in the extreme and the
system itsalf a very training
school for crime. A man sent
to the 'chain gang in Judge,
barter's opinion seldom if ever
k a decent citizen again.
Judge Carter did not meanv L
he went on to hiv, that he was
opposed to working county pris- ;
oners on the roads. But in bis
opinion, putting the prisoners
km some sort of honor system
would give better results from
the standpoint of the amount
of work done atnd at the same
time would do the men sent to
the chain gang good, instead of
evil. Some prisoners, of
course, he aid, would not be
amenable to the system but
mlost would raid fathers dould
be dealt with through some
other ageucy.
If Judge Carter's , ideas were
adopted prisoners sent to the
roads would not be required! to
wear stripes, would be unfetter
ed, and the man who supervis
ed their work wonld not
stand guard over them With H
gun in his bland . This is in
line with the prison reform
movement and is said to have
been found entirely practliable.
N The judge's charge was very,
impressive and in speaking of
visiting, prisoners he said that
there is Divine assurance thai
he who interests himself in the
needs of these unfortuinateb will
not go without his reward.
