BIRMINGHAM, Ala,, March 20.— Sealed lips in Alabama prison camps have proven “impassable barriers” to investigations of alleged inhuman treatment of convicts, James Davis, Jefferson County solicitor, said in a statement published yesterday. He announced that he expected to con- tinue the investigation into the death of James W. Knox, former Ravens- wood, W. Va., youth, who died at Jdat Top Mine camp in August, 1924, 10 days after he began serving a 2.year sentence for forgery.

The solicitor cited other cases he at- tempted to investigate at the prison mines, and said he was always con- fronted with the same problem—re- fusal of the gonvicts and guards to talk. Davis said he was frankly told by convicts when he sought informa- tion about mutinies or other out- breaks that they dared mnot make statements because if they did they would “suffer untold misery and pun- ishment. Mr. Davis said some of the forms of punishment still in use in the prison camps were comparable to the “sav- age and inhuman treatment of an- clent days when the thumb screw and rack were used.” Convicts punished in “dog houses,” where they are pressed and cramped, frequently are sent to hospital as g result, he de- clared, ; | Grand juries of Jefferson County, he charged, havesgone to camps for in- spection, “and were refused admission and prevented from making investiga- tions."” Teaching the blind to read by means of different shades of sound is a new and simple method invented by a Rus- sian oculist.
