By the Associated Press. WILMINGTON, Del, June James J. Fee and Thomas Kelly, Philadelphia youths, took 40 lashes each from a cat-o’-nine-tails on their bare backs in New Castle County workhouse today, with little show of feeling except fright and discomfiture at the public chastisement. The whipping took place in the workhouse yard before one of the largest crowds that has witnessed such a spectacle in yvears. Fee and Kelly recently were convicted of high- way robbery and are serving 15.vear prison terms. Their whipping sentence was the maximum. A newspaper photographer, who sald he was Samuel Shulman, scaled the wall with a rope after he had been ejected from the vard. He was discovered on top of it and pulled down by guards several minutes after the whipping was over. Haled before a magistrate, he was fined $5 and costs for trespassing. Warden Leach, before the whipping, had warned that no pictures were tq be taken. Fee went to the post first, \\'|Ih_a cigarette in his mouth, which he dis- carded nervously as he took his place with back bare and arms outstretched. Kelly followed him. Warden Leach applied .the lash with a guard tolling off the blows. The bare backs were reddened and the shoulders twitched a bit as the lashes multiplied. The skin was not broken, and the warden sald he purposely avoided laying the blows on hard enough to do so. Whippings in Delaware are not un- usual, being provided and nearly al- ways imposed for a dozen crimes. The actual lashings, officials say, are rare- ly_severe, the chief punishment being tHe humiliation involved.
