A variety of tortures worthy of the fiendish ing ity of the Middle ages hai been in- fifeted upon the soperer inmates. Those se lec'eu especialiy to underso such treatment Were mostly couviets who had been empioyca by contractors for railroad building, and by owners of plantations who were also lessees of the penitentiary, The crime of the unfor- tunales was their inability to endure over- work, hardship and bad |. The result of the cruelties and the general bad manage- ment was a large jon of de sths among the convicts. The c.rcumstance that some United States prisoners were contin 1 in the pen.tentiary has served to bring to ligt the worrible facts, but there is reaion to fear that no change has been made ia the system, and the cruelties are coutinued at the present hour.
