Try To Stop Practice
• “It is a fact,” Mr. Holderby
continued, “that prisoners are
mutilating themselves, principally
on the Retrieve Farm. It is al-
1 most unbelievable that: able-bod-
1 ied men will lay arm or leg on
. a block and chop them off with
Peorn knife or ax. The board has
tried every conceivable way to
F halt the practice.
"Of course, the ‘incorrigibles"
on the Retrieve Farm give more
trouble than prisoners on the
other farms. They are hard men.
They must be disciplined, and
Captain Kelly is doing a good job
of it. Prisoners like those fre-
quently require stringent meas
ures — they ask for stiff punish-
ment, and get it,"
Mr. Holderby described the
regulation method of punishment,
the use of “the bat," a wide and
heavy-leather strap with a short
: wood handle. 1

upon application to the prison ad-
| ministration. If it is ordered, a

U. S. Decision Referred to

The O. D. Stevens farm at

A hodge - podge of spiritism,
barbaric cruelty and near homi-
cide, confused their attempts to
learn why Hurd, 77-year-old rail-
road watchman, shot and fatally
wounded his sturdily built wife,
Nellie, 67.
. Hurd told detectives last night,
that his wife tortured him with
flame. and lash and knives into
signing a preposterous statement
in which he “confessed" to giving
$15,00 0 from a "hidden. fortune"
to a neighbor woman with whom
she accused him of having inti-
mate relations.
Crazed with pain from, burns .
on his feet, knife wounds on his
legs, and lacerations on his arms,
he said were caused by whippings
with wire lashes, - Hurd said he
was driver to shoot his wife with
the gun she had used to. intimi-
date him. She died today from
four bullet wounds in the same
hospital where Hurd, weak. and
ill, was questioned by officers. .
