But old Jim charged the State 8999.45 Again, in buying tho steward's supplies which are sold to the prisoners, he worked it that ho recoived double the cost of such articles ns BiH'nr, svrtip, oleomargerine, and tobacco. The State stipulates that these things bo sold nt cost. The use tho provisions which should bo fed to tho prisoners to food the guards who wish to board ther# and the deputy warden pockets the profits with out making any return to the State This is his "divey." Those are only few of tho outrages. I will let others who know more about the frauds tell tho rest.

Tho men on the cooper contract are all overworked simply because the warden does not do his duty by visiting the shops, looking after the men and hearing their complaints. The shops are all numbered. Tho cooper shops nre numbers 1, 3 and 5. In numbers I and 5, the hooping shops, the convicts nil have tasks. In number 3 no tasks are assigned and that is where the dirt is done. Tho guard in that shop nt the present time is Tom Kelly, a brute, who for few dollars and a drink of whisky from the foreman now nnd then would report the best mnn in tho shop. Ho does this every few days nnd when tie )reman requests him he takes man to tho office and tells the deputy warden

It is

graphic, sensational, and terribly startling expose of tho manner in which the affairs of the Northern l'risou Ht Michig«n City are regulated: To the Kill tor of the Craxvfordsvllle Jonn.Hl: I Since being el eased from the Miehignn City prison, havo boen asked by perhaps a thousand people or tuore 1 some such a question as this: "Well.

Bill, how were you fed, treated and worked up tlierol" Now, of course, cannot explain to each one singly, so as everybody rends

Tin JOURNAI.,

brace this opportunity to disclose to all jiiBt what prison life is at thejheil by the lake side.

I served under two wardens. James Murdock first, and after he had in a most questionable manner, made enough money to start a bank, and two or three street car lines, besides buying up nil the natural gas stock in sight, he turned the prison over to .1times French. You want to learn doubtless how Murdock got. hold of ail this money without exciting suspicion. Well, it took hitn about twelve years to do it, nnd his methods were numerous. For example, he bought up rotten pork very cheap and charged the Stnte up with good pork prices. Naturally we men could not ent the stuff and after each mea! Murdock had a convict to take it off and render it. It was then sold to parties who could find a market for it. Of course, James put the money thus acquired in his little savings bank. Everything that ho fed us was selected because it would make good slop and because he knew he could have it cooked so that we could not eat it, and it would be left for his hogs. Everything that was given ns to eat was steamed first in a brass kettle. He paid the State

S300

a year for all that the prisoners left on the tables, and he made it a point to see that no hing was served in a palatable shape. Ho fattened three or four hundred hogs a year on what tho piisonere left of their meals. Many a time 1 have been so weak on arising from the table that I could scarcely walk, cannot imagine how as many men live to got out of the place ns do. If it had not been for the largo basket of provisions sent mo from home every two weeks would not be hero to-day to tell you of this. Another source of revenue to

Murdock was the prisoner's clothes. He oharged the State from So to 89 a year for each convict's apparel. Now all the lime I was there, seven years,) I received only two new pairs of pantaloons, four shirts and four suits of underclothes. My coat was always old. A coat in th Northern Prison is made to last ten years. Anothor system was to make some improvements nnd charge thi State ten times more than it cost. Tin shop in which I worked had been at on time a large carriage blacksmith shop and consequently there was more roon than was needed for a repair shop. The contratorB wanted a dry kiln, so they had the warden to build a partition wall through the center of the shop in order that they might put steam pipes in, to dry tho staves. He built tho wall on ot old brick that were taken from an old building which stood down in tho yard The couvicts did t' work, so all it co wau small amount expended for lime

Xnat

settles it. Tho convict's word iB ignored. Ho may have done his best but the more he does the mo-e they want. The deputy consigns him to the dungeon and his ooat, cap, vest, shoes, and socks

taken from him, Ho is left there dense what I have said as much as posfrom 8 to 111 days, with a piece of tiblo and, therefore, have not told a ooru brend about the eizo of a five cent quarter of what 1 know. I havo told plug of tobacco and a hult a pint of the simple truth nnd have told it in ovwator a day to sustain life. 1 havo dor that the people might know a little about how the place is conducted. It is a notorious fact (hat when a prisoner is released and informs the public of the cruelties practiced ther« the prison authorities deny his story and denounce

known of a huudrsd Buch eases as this. Juot before I came away they had a man pulling shavings to the engine or Are room in cart us heavy ns one

wnii 60 U1„ddy

that

deep

the wheels out down «o deep that ho could not possibly pull it. For this offense he was cast into the dungeon. Men when sick nro worked until thoy drop, and are often enst into tho dungeon on tho protext that they are sham, raing. There was a colored man, named David Taylor, sent tlioro from Indianapolis for a term of ten years. His time was nonrly up when ho took sick with pleura pneumonia. Tho doctors would not lay him off and ho worked up to the very night he died. Two colored men who celled next to him persuaded tho night guard to let them get in the cell with Taylor and hold him in bed. But when tho inspecting guurd camo around at nine o'clock he ordered them into their own colls. They pleaded to rtay with Taylor at it was a cold night nnd Taylor needed constant watching. They were forcod to lonvo him, however. Tho next morning when they enmo out of their cells and looked into Taylor's coll they saw tie poor fellow lying there on the stone floor. In his delirium he had fallon out of bed upon the stone floor and had frozen to death. Tho Michigan City Dispatch camo out the next evening and said tho man had died of consumption after having been in tho hospital a month. This is but one case and I could enumerate scores of others just as brutal. Hundreds die there from being put in the dnngeou where they contract what is known as the dungeon consumption. Those men are treated thus horribly bocnuso tho contractors run the prison. Their money and their influence keeps that gang then that is there to-day. If the hirelings did not do the contractor's bidding their places would bo promptly filled by other men. Thoy car not for tho lives of the men that make their millions for them. By tho froe uso of monoy th keep the legislature fJ-om interfering. No committee, in late years at least, ever did investigate tho affairs of that prison. The warden is always prepared to receive them and ho has things fixed beforehand. He sonds down to the legislature a list of tho names of tho members he desires to see on the committee. They are Democrats he can control nnd a Boft headed Republican or two. Arrived nt the prison they aro met with open arms and wine bottles.

Tho warden has a few old lifo men go before them declaring that every thing is just ever

nice. Murdock would

get these men to do this by promising to procure pardons for them. The committee was not allowed to stop and talk with the men in ttiipes because if they lid they would soon find out what

hid from the people outside. The committee would learn that the men are overworked, starved and cast into dungeons without just cause. Now, have the greatest respect,for a minister, but I am compelled to say that tho present chaplain is a hypocrite if ever there was one. He never visits thj men in their cells, the shops or tho dungeons. He turns a doaf oar to all complaints. Ho went through with the last committoo and would got between the members and the prisoner He even pulled representative awny from a convict who was endeavoring to tell of his cruel treatment and to show a piece of rotten pork. Ilo has ever heard, as I have heard, the men in the dungeons bogging .ind praying for water nud while he stood there stolid nnd unmoved, 1 und inanv others, who tiro called hard hearted vil lians, wero on our knees in our cells pleading to God in silent prayer to soften oho hearts of tho brutes who carried the keys to thoso awful places of suffering.

Uow can you expect to reform men by such treatment Just so long as this cruelty is carried on, just so long will you be robbed nnd murdered by men wLo havo served their time. Men leave that plnco hnting (rod and man because they nro hardened and made vicious while there. Their instructors are drunkards and brutes p.nd cowards

They do not know what kindness is. It is a stranger to their breasts. The con tractors do not want the men to reform aa they wish to see them back again.

I beliove that tho present warden James French, is good man at henrt nnd would like to conduct tho prison with an eye to reformation. But his hands aro tied., He has no one behind him to back him up, and ho has to cover up Murdock's dirt, although it is a bittor pill for him. When Murdock left he took all tho provisions to Lafayette with

him as a liar. A great ninny people believe that ho has lied. I know that before I was sent there when some ex-con-vict would toll his tale of woo, 1 would walk away saying to myself, "Ho is the biggest liar of th season." I had not been thoro thon—uow 1 havo, although I was sent there on perjured evidence to save anothor man. Whnt I havo Baid about this prison, I can prove and nm ready and willing to do it at nuy time. If the next legislature believes that it is unablo to substantiate these charges, then lot me bo invited to go with tha commit.teo nnd point tho evils out. There is nothing would please mo better thnn to havo the next legislature expose nnd bring to justice, ex-Warden James Murdock.

PREACHED ABOOTTHE WRECK.

Sonw Timely Words From Dr. Uunningham on tliu Late Railway Disaster, "i'aul's Conception ot Disciploship" was Dr. Cunuingham's subject last Sunday evening and in'bis discourse ho referred to the disaster on tho Monon of last Monday and applied it to his subject, and especially to that part of it which was tho lesson of the day in the Sunday school nnd in tho Y. P. S. C. E. —temperance. This is what he said:

Tho praises of the people of this town are being published by the unfortunate victims surviving tho recent railway disaster and by those who came to make reparation in behalf of tho company. Il may well be. In the place whore most of the injured wero Monday night wore scenes never to bo forgotten by thoso that witnessed them. The noises of delirium mingled with the groans of the dying and the wild grief of those who had been shocked almost out of mind and the tender words of tho children of consolation wore hoard on every hand. It was as a fort that had stood out till almost tho last man had fallen and the allies had come only in time to minister to the wounded nnd dying.

But there was that which was more touching oven than tho sight of so groat suffering. It was tho exhibition of sympathy, of the spirit of helpfulness and selfforgetful seryico on the part ot the scores o. our citizens who came promptly to the aid of the sufferers. Thoy were thero without distinction of race or creed, as physician there remarked.

Few and Gentile, Protestnnt und Catholic, black and white, strung men and entle women, every sort of layman and every sort of professional man, and they knew no difference, and there was non^for it was the same tearful sympathy, tho same effort to encourage and comfort, tho same endeavor to alleviate misery and the same unselfish thoughtfulness. All hearts wero as one heart. It was an idenl 6ceno of ''enthusiasm for humanity.''

O, it wo could

BOO

such an exhibition

as that for thoso who are thrown off tho way of true living and aro wrecked and maimed, and broken aud dying by the calamity of sius manifold! What a different world would this be in loss time than sufficed to snvo Ninevnh of old!

We studied the word of Ged in its woes upon intemperance, to-day. What was the Crawfordsvillo railway wreck besides the Crawfordsville rum wreck from day to day How many lie dead being cast down to destruction by the rum fiend! How many lie broken »nd bleeding iu how many impoverished nnd blighted homos in this city! If there were but one victim of tho rum wredk or one Buch rum-blighted homo iu this place for each saloon in it, that would be grenter cause for effort and tenrs and selforgetful devotion than the wreck of last Monday afforded. That would be a more terrible nnd appalling nurnbe than the score of killed and injured there.

But thero is not a saloon in this town which is not carrying destruction into more than one life and moro than one home of ours. And it is unspeakably deplorable, although we do not so do plore. Our senses are dulled. Our hearts are inured to tho scourgo of intern per ance.

Or, do wo not know that mon have souls and that they are of moro value than their bodies aro and a thousand times worthier to call out all otir power to sympathize and aid?

O, if thero could bo a practicable way of rousing men as the dreadful railway horror roused them, in behalf of the victims nnd votaries of internperance!

Whatever would so rouso them would bo the long Bought cure for wholesale rum ruin that is working hero and every where. That would bo Paul-like—de votion to men's souls liko that which wo showed for their bodily salvation.
