William Smith, an attendant, is charged with kicking the 19-year-old ‘Wilkins unconscious and leaving him under a cold shower to die. He was arraigned in Stoney Point Court yes- terday for manslaughter. His arrest is only a move by authorities to silence mass protests by making @ pretense of correcting the horrible conditions. Girl Mistreated. For some time Cammarata, an un- employed laborer, has been trying to take his daughter back home. He became frantic when he read that Foster Wilkins had been kicked un- conscious by a guard and was then left to die under a cold shower. On previous visits the father of the girl and other witnesses saw that the girl had been beaten black and blue. Frances was taken to the institution | | when she was 11 years old. Her father was promised that she would | be sent to school. Instead she has been forced to get up at 5 a.m. and to work all day, The least misde- | meanor brings brutal punishment, Fear Exposure. The girl now appears to be abso- | lutely normal. Fearing exposure of conditions prevailing in the institu- tion, the institution has prevented the father from getting his daughter back. The case is being taken up by the International Labor Defense, the Sacco-Vanzetti Troop of the Young Pioneers and the Italian Proletarian | club, ‘ | |.
