Cromwell, foreman of the! dase, In elste senkentiary at, Walls | tiary | Walle oa charge growing out of strike | ) | ° Tt te not without reason that "Sh |Derta” te called the slaughter house At least three men who were not sentenced to death by any court of jaw have been killed within ite} walls, It ts about 60 feet long and [30 feet wide with smooth concrete walls 25 feet high. A gun towel ts on one corner in which there is always @ guard armed with & load. Tie inclosed space con talne a emall court and nine cells. One man was kilieg there about a year ago. The claim was made by the guard who shot him that the man was about to attack another guard who was in “Siberia” at the time, Also, that the man had been attempting an escape during the night previous by trying to reach the top of the wall with a hook pole. But there is no possibility of any) one familiar with the penitentiary | believing there was any attempt to | escape. Neither is it possible for} anyone, who knows of the manner in which the man was shot, to be Neve that an attack was about to be made on the Inside guard. Everyone in “Siberta” ts locked th his own cell at night and all the cotls are in pected by a guard after they are locked. To get out of a/ colt and into the court, three ates! | bars, each two Inches wide and half | an inch thick, would have to be/ sawed off in one night and tn plain view of the gvard in the gun tower. | All the bars would have to be/ sawed off by reaching thru a ernall wicket In the steel door. Two of these, bara are at least three foet from the wicket. MAKES STORY HARD TO BELIEVE Putting together the various facts that nothing has ever been known | to have been smuggled into “St beria,” (particularly a hack saw and @ hook pole 18 feet in length), that a guard is always in position to see all the cell doors and that a man }locked in his cell could not saw off lene bars of the cell door in any one inight, nor do it silently at all, it is Iseen to have been a physical impos- sibility for the man to have been trying to escape. However, the next morning the gun guard ordered the man to stand in one corner of the} court. How long he stood there I was not able to learn exactly. Some{ reports have {t elght hours Later in the day 4 guard went Inside the walls of “Siberia” for some reason, The man standing in| the corner asked him for a drink of water. The guard started toward him with a cup of water, when the guard on the wall fired his rif_e, the claimed, that the inmate was about to attack the guerd in- side the walls, The man killed | had a habit of crossing bis | hands in front of him, with bis | thumbs thrust inside his beit, and he had them in this position when shot, The guard he was said to have started to attack was not close enough so the in- | mate had yet raised his hands from his belt. This fact ought to be conclusive evidence that no attack was made or ab tempted. } Another man named Johnson was | GUARD WHO SHuT MAN 18 DISCHARGED When Johnson was shot he seemed to think it was an accident, | fas he turned around to the guard) and asked, “What is the matter with you up.there?” He died almost immediately afterward, Before the coroner could see Johnson # blacksmith was called fn to cut the leg trons off his ankles with a hammer and cold chisel, The verdict, of course, exonerated the guard who did the shooting, but in this in stance the warden had the de- bullet cutting three fingers on one! hand, two fingers on the other hand | and the main artery in the upper part of the lett leg. The man died} about an hour later from loss of blood. A point that is significant in connection with this death is that the guard who killed him {shot in the back in “Siberia.” He/ was said to be making & break for |freedom. The fact is that Johnson | jhad leg trons on, which were made | jof steel bars two inches wide and| threeeighths of an inch thick,! wore riveted on his ankles and were connected ty a chain about ten inches in length cency to Gischarge the guard who fired the shot. Another man was sald to have been” shot in the shoulder while standing inside his cell “in Siberta.” and allowed to bleed to death before & doctor was called, but I could not wet the detatis of this except the face that the mark of the bullet is stil on the wall of the cell where it struck after passing thru the! man's stoulder, j One man who was confined In} “Siberia” was chained by one ankle to his bunk for more than 11 montha. The strap around his ankle was made of steel two inches wide and | three-eighths of an inch thick. To! enable the man to put on and re! move his underwear and overalls they were slit up the outside of the leg and fitted with buttona. ee Tomorrow: The “Cross” TAX COLLUSION IS UNDER FIRE Bill to End Bad Practice Is Sidetracked By C. C. Lyon WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.--Con gressman Sumnera, of Texas, told the house judiciary committee he had been informed by business men “that former employes of the gov ernment, connected with the enforce: ment of Income tax and other iawa, have, while enaged in the service of the government, really been canvass | | ing for business on the other mide in the event they should sever connec. tions with the government.” ‘The department of justice has urged the passage by congress of the Edmonds bill, which aims to stop such practices. But the bill has been side tracked for months, despite the fact investigators have reported evidence ean be before a “properly protected Investiga- tion” to show collusion between certain employes im the income tex unit and outside lawyers whereby big elatms for tax re- bates were held up for months until the concerns seeking the re- bates employed one or more of the lawyers to represent them, on demoted, any the in vestigators, their pay has been cut, and they have been transferred out! of Washington or dismissed from the forvice.
