Ball players are pretty shrewd, and the Giants regard Griffth’s challenge es a foxy business proposition to gain recognition in New York. “A series of euch games," said Joe MicGinnity, “would mean nothing to us, whether we won or lost.

In the State Prison farm at Milledgevillé as the result OF ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 10.- a young white woman is lying fn a being whipped on her bare back She is hysterical most of the time. “Don't take off my clothes! Don't hit me again!” she shouts com tinually, Mamie De Cris, a young stenographer of culture and education, wad tious condition sentenced to the prison camp for larceny of jewelry. ANGERED THE WARDEN'S WIFE. Miss De Cris angered Warden Allagood's wife by complaining about being replaced as hospital stewardess by a negro, Mrs, Allagood told her husband to whip Mise De Cris. ’ The Warden had the woman brought in by guards and had her upped clothing forelbly removed. Then, while Miss De Cris was held, Allagood struck her twenty-four times on the back with a leather strap, nearty every stroke drawing blood. ‘With her back mangled, Miss De Cris was sent to the flelif to work with negroes. She fainted and was found by Superintendent Foster, wae sent her to the hospital and bitterly denounced the brutality. When !t became known that Miss De Cris had been so brutally whipped all Georgia was aroused. Pursuant to an order of Gov. Terrell, the State Prison Commission tew day began an investigation of the whipping. WHIPPING LONG KEPT SECRET. ‘This whipping took place last June, but the matter has been kept @ secret until the present. How long it might have remained unknown i matter of conjecture. The approaching date for electing a superintendemt of the farm is responsiblé for the fact being known now. Mamie De Cris, it will be remembered, was the young woman who last winter gained considerable notoriety as a much-wanted diamond thief, hed _ adventures gnining her the nickname “Diamond Queen,” She was formerly a stenographer in Savannah and was accustomed ta ‘an atmosphere of refinement and luxury. She became concerned in severas thefts of diamonds in Savannah. She was sent to the Milledgeville farm to serve her sentence, with the distinct understanding that she be not made to work in the fields, si It now develops that she was insubordinate and that, to conquer her, @ prison official, after a doctor had said she was strong enough to survive @ beating, laid the lash to her until she was conquered. There are rumors now extant that Superintendent K. R. Foster of the farm is not to be re-elected by the Prison Commission this month, hit term of office expiring Jan. 1, 1904, He may be re-elected or may not, bY whatever action the Prison Commission takes will not be governed by tl whipping of Mamie De Cris, for under the present prison regulations thy was not improper. ACCUSED OF INSUBORDINATION. This is the telegram which made the state of facts known: Capt. K. R. Foster, Superintendent of the State Farm, author {zed the statement this evening that his resignation would go to the Prison Commissioners in the near future. For some days, the town has been full of rumors that, on account of the whipping of Miss Mamie De Cris, better known as the “Diamond Queen,” Capt. Foster, the superintendent, and perhaps Dr. Adams, the physician at the State farm, would lose their places. The whole, thing as to his being forced out was news to Capt. Foster, as was in no wise responsible for the whipping of Miss De Cris, for she was whipped by Capt. Allagood in the presence of Dr. Adams, who was present to see that her physical condition was such as to admit her bearing the punishment. y Capt. Foster had protested against her being worked in the ; fields, and had sent her back to the house. Every one acquainted with the facts Insists that Capt. Foster was not responsible, as she was directly under Capt. Allagood, who has charge of the woman's department. Capt. Allagood stated this evening that he had whipped her because of insubordinate conduct toward Mrs, Alla- good, who {s matron of the woman's building Capt. Foster wrote the Chairman of the Prison Commission some days ago, asking him if there was any truth in the rumors that he was to be supplanted and that this town was full of ru- mors to that effect. He said he would like to be in a position to satisfy himself and his friends about the matter. If what he (Fos- ter) had previously stated in public prints as to what he consid- ered the best disposition of the State convicts, namely: Not to lease them, but put them all on a iarge farm, had in any wise made him objectionable to the commission, he said he was ready to resign. \ Up to this date the Commissioners have made na answer to this lete ter, so Capt. Foster will send in his resignation. A letter has. been seem on the streets of Milledgeville in which it was stated that Capt. Johm Dennis, of Putnam, had been offered the position of superintendent. Many sensational rumors have been afloat as to why Mamie De Cris wag whipped. It has been impossible to see her, as it is claimed she always, objects to visitors. ‘All the farm officials agree in pronouncing her a very tricky prison Bam treet, Taga Advocate ‘Start poor: (Continued on Second Page.) ay
