For many years there has been conflict of opinion in Delaware wl:lether the whipping post should re- main. There have been storms of protest against it by men and women of promi- nence, while others equally prominent have contended that the whipping post is lashing crime out of Delaware. Those in the first group point out that 33 men were whipped at the post during 1929, an increase of 16 over the year. Ten men were whipped in 1927, | and in 1926, 18. Sixteen took the pun- ishment in 1925. In all cases the whip- ping was accompanied by prison sen- tences from 6 months to 20 years. Post Resembles Big Pump.

In 1913 he asked the then United States Attorney General to issue an injunction restraining the Delaware authorities from using the whipping post. The At- torney General found the Federal Gov- ernment had no such authority. Officlals of other States have from time to time favored the whipping post. It has been in use in Maryland since 1888, although there are not many whippings.
