SURGICAL CASE AT PENAL FARM IS UNDER FIRE Nurse Without License to Practice ‘Carved’ Inmate, Says Ex-Prisoner. (Continued From Page Onp| the weight of fist or cane or the meager diet of bread and water in the "hole." Smart's affidavit says. "I have seen both and Dr. Gillespie give the men a purge, make them take it, and then laugh about it.' Given C ursory Test When anew inmate of the farm steps up from the bus or auto that brought him to its portals, he undergoes cursory physical examination that depends for the most part on the bill of health sent to the farm with him and signed by the county doctor from where he was sentenced. The inmates throat is swabbed for germs of disease. The examination is not pleasant. Any one familiar with epidemic scares knows the "gagging" feeling when having his throat swabbed. Thomas Bland. Negro, of 619 North West street, was a "fresh fish" at the farm around March 11. Bland was sent there on the charge of stealing a sack of coal. The farm was no new place to him. He admits being there before. Jaw Dislocated, He Says On other "hitches" he served as houseman for E. L. Arment., assistant superintendent of the farm, and sometimes called "Captain” Arment by sworn statements of former inmates. “The first day I went to the farm on this last sentence I gagged when they stuck something . . . down my throat," says Bland's sworn statement in telling of the throat examination. "It made the* doctor mad 'he refers to the man in charge of the hospital’s laboratory) when I gagged and he grabbed my jaw and knocked It out of place. "Then.” continues B 1 an and ’s affidavit, ’’ an old doctor 'he probably refers to Doctor Gillespie, the farms physician), put a couple of towels in my throat and put my jaw back in place. I had to go back to the hospital to have that done. My jaw was hurting me and I couldn’t eat." "I have seen as high as eight prisoners in chains. They were working in the quarry and the shale-pit. They were unruly prisoners," amplifies Bland's affidavit. Charges Guard With Beating "I have seen Guard ... of the poultry line beat a man up with his fists. He knocked him down. I have seen Guard ... of No. 10 labor gang knock a man down as he was coming out of the dining room. If they don’t like you, they pull you out of line and hit you. You don't always have to do something to get hit,” declares the former houseman of Arment, in his sworn statement. Released from the farm on June 28, Bland reports an improvement in conditions at the farm, in his sworn statement. "We started getting good food about, a month ago when they put a; fellow to work in there who used to work in . . . lunchroom in Indianapolis. . . . They have real coffee on Sunday morning, but on other mornings they don’t have what’s real coffee. I had eggs only once, on Easter Sunday.'’ says Bland in his statement. Given Better Treatment As houseman for Arment during his sojourn at the state farm, Bland admits verbally to The Times that his treatment was better than that accorded the average prisoner. Bland slept near Theodore Luesse, ‘“red" agitator, on one stay in the farm and declares in his affidavit that Luesse talked Communism to him. In the statement of Richard Gillette, Indianapolis, another former inmate of the farm, it is charged, under notary's seal, that other operations besides the one performed on Grepn have been done by the pseudo physician who acts as male nurse at the state farm. Gillette's affidavit declares, "One doctor has charge of the hospital and has an assistant, a Mr. . This man is not a physician, but on two occasions has done . . , operations. One ... on Clarence Green of Muncie. Ind.. the other an operation on the abdomen of a colored inmate. T don't tecall his name. He dees all the work of a phvsician for reason that the regular doctor doesn't stay at the farm all day .. .” No X-Rav Equipment The farm's hospital has no X-ray equipment for determining bone fractures or other internal injuries, statements to The Times assert. One affidavit relates a special cell for certain types of prisoners in the hospitaJ. It is called the "hospital jail." Food in the hospital is of better grade and more nourishing than in the main mess hall. It us the one place that all inmates would Jike to work in and the one place where the minds of the labor gangs are focused at roll call when a keeper curses and says, •’Forget one of a in the hospital.” (Next—-Rrihe Charges of Inmates and Feeding Them)
