the death of two guards and .one
convict and the escape of three
others last Wednesday night. The
allegations were made by several
guards, the prison chaplain and an
ex-principal keeper.
"Discipline is "very lax, ; and
those in charge are too busy furn
ishing entertainment to run the
institution." declared Rev. C. H.
Bryan, chaplain. "There is wide
open gambling going on in the
"dog house" on the "Island." Sun-
lays are desecrated with baseball
games and poker is a favorite pas
time. - I tried to preach, but could
not run in competition with the
baseball games. Twice' I visited
the governor and he promised to
top the gambling. Many of the
convicts are using the hemp flow
ers, 'which has the same effect
upon kt he men as the loco weed has
on livestock. The convicts realize
that they are injured by such a
break as occurred last week and
would, welcome strict discipline.
