Miss Edith Black of Worland the acterizing the Arkansas penitentiary “under the lease system as a burn- ing, seething hell, consuming human beings,’’ who are “being fed into it in a manner which results in nothing but making fortunes for contractors,” Gov. George W. Donaghey today issued a statement in defense of his action last Monday in issuing pardons to 316 state convicts. Sharp criticism of the governor’s —faction from state officials and Citizens previously had drawn from the ex- ecutive the statement that “all those who oppose the abolishment: of the inhuman convict system, which we now have in Arkansas, are in my opinion bound in the direction of that place spoken of by Governor Blease in connection with the constitution, and it is my belief they are going to land there in spite of every effort of mine to prevent them doing so."’ again the governor was sharply assailed and his statement today fol- lowed. According to a newspaper com- pilation, based on the state records, forty-three of those, pardoned by Governor Donaghey were convicted of murder or manslaughter, 111 grand larcency, four assault, five robbery, nineteen forgery, thirty-two burglary, twenty-six assault to kill, and seventy-six of crimes ranging from hog stealing to bigamy.

That some of the prisoners have been forced to undergo the “cure” while ill is a further charge. One of the victims complained to friends who visited him and the story of the alleged cruelties being practiced was carried out from behind the prison walls,
