Tallahassee, Fla., April 10.—The joint legislative committee which will investigate the death of Marti bert of North Dakota, who met deati under alleged brutal cireumstances at a private convict camp in this state, was definitely set up yester- day with the appointment of mem- bers of both houses to serve on it. At the same time, the house re- solved to instruct the committee co exhume Tabert's body, give it a “de- cent Suit of clothes, decent ¢ da decent burial at the expens ithe state of Florida.” Buried in Convict’s Suit. The house resolution regarding an- other burial for the youngster must be concurred in by the senate. Affi- davits gathered by North Dakota of- ficinls charged that after being mal- treated to death, the youngster’s body was dressed in the clothing of scuped negro convict, placed in an ordinary’ box and stuck in the ground. When his name came before the legislature, it had entered into every ssion of that body since its con- vening last Tuesday. It had been ex- lained that his name would mentioned only with the appointment of members to comprise the investi- ting committee, but while the house was transacting routine busi- ness, Represetative Gilees of Franklin county offered a joint reso- lution providing for his bur asked that the rules be w: its immediate c ideration, There was only one other expres sion in the unanimity of the house i that came from Representative ed Van Roy, of Citrus, who offered an amendment providing that the funeral arrangements be held at the disposition cf the bo; relatives, To Amend Statute. + Later during the introduction of bills, Representative A. O. Weeks of Bonifay introduced a bill repealing the statutes now in existence making it a misdemeanor in this state to ride a freight train as an unauthorized |passenger. Such a movement has been sponsored by certain women's organizations for several sessions past without success, Mr, Weeks asked for unanimous ‘consent for its immediate passage jstating that the railroads should o\’ required to protect their property and that he was “tired” of officers zing young men from the trains “railroading camps.” é The house appeared to be in the same mood as a whole, and his bill ran through to its third reading when. Representative A. Y. Milan of Jack- sonville, objected to its final disposi- tion without more considerartion. Wants to Go Slow. The bill then was sent to com- mittee. Representative Milan ex- plained that he was not holding any brief for the railroads and that he intended to vote for the abolition of the county convict leasing system, but, he continued, Florida every win- ter is flooded with undesirables and that some protection must be had against them, certainly to the ex- tent of not rushing Mr. Weeks’ bill through in guch fashion. Tabert, itis contended, was an ad- venturous youngster, out to see the world. He was arrested for riding a freight train in this lone country, and it is charged was tried at night and sent to the camp where he lost his life. The resolution providing for Ta- bert's burial instructed the investi- gating committee to have the Putnam Lumber Company point out the spot “ where Tabert is buried, and that the committee procure the services of an undertaker and a physician. The Putnam Lumber Company had Tabert under lease, and reported, ac- cording to the charges, that he died February 1, 1922, “from fever and other complications.” The committee is comprised of Senators John P.
