GRANT OPPOSES
LEASE ON CONVICTS
(Continued from page 1)
convicted for some crime com
mitted in Western Arkansas; this
poor boy was an habitual user of
morphine; when he was turned
over to these infernal contractors
they deprived him of his accus
tomed medicine and lie became
crazed.
“One day while he was labor
ing under his crazed condition,
brought about by the absence of
this drug, he tried to pass the
guard and was shot down by one
of the guards, there for his blood
to flow out upon the sand to be
washed by the rain and dried by
the sun; his life was sent into
its eternity by a bullet fired into
his body by one of these scoun
drels guarding him; he was ta
ken out, a hole dug in the ground
and he was buried, without even

the wardens, guards and contrac
tors did not even send for a cor
oner as required by law. A Jus
tice of the Peace found it out
and went there acting as a coro
ner because the coroner was sick
and could not go; he was in
formed by that gang in charge of
the construction crew that he
had better let that body alone, or
else he might have some trouble.
He went and obtained officers
and returned to perform his duty.
By that time the man who fired
the shot had been ushered away,
and the eye witnesses had been
removed. An inquest was held
as best it could be. To this good
day, from the conduct of those
in charge, the will of the law has
been thwarted and justice h«
been denied.
"I say to you I am speaking
the truth; I hope Reeves and
all the rest of them are here to .
hear what I say about this. I j
know the unfortunate convicts j
who are leased to contractors are j
not getting what they deserve; j
they are wards of the state j
hound in irons, without friends, ■
beat half to death, cruelly treat- j
ed and killed in a bloody way. j
We should wait no longer to take j
steps to remedy this wrong. This
hellish treatment must be dis- j
pensed with.”
