St. Ltrai* Post Dispatch. The following is from the sworn statement of W. H. Bradbury, “governor” of the Missouri penitentiary: “Of well! talk about blood running down—well, I have whipped more mien, I guess, than any man on earth (an exalted distinction) and I have never seen no blood rundown. I have heard all about blood running down to the heels and over the shoe tops, and everything like that. It is the rarest thing in the world to see a trickling' of blood; it just raises a red stripe, and it is just according to the application or the skinjthat it does that; if I had alight, thin-skinned fellow I'd know how to whip him; I would not lay it on to him—a light tap will hurt him as much as a rough whipping will do with a man that has got hair cn his back. The moment I take the shirt off a man I know how to whip him.” , j " 1 —/f TT Mrs. Johnson, cook at a Seymour hotel, was notified a few days ago by attorneys at Jeffersonville that she would t hear of something to her advantage by calling on them.
