The commlsion answers the charges
made by Mr China at length going
into minute detail and entering a
general and special denial of the al
legations made by Mr Cl inn It is I
emphatically denied that a bloody
strap was used on the prisoners or
chat they were whipped any more
than they deserved It Is charged that
Mr Chinn was not fitted for the post
Lion by temperment on account of
Yr his too tender sensibilities and the
too cordial way he treated the con
ycts The Commission Bays that
t Mr Chinn did not enforce discipline
M end that the force in the punitenlary
I was demoralized
Because the contractors threaten
ed to throw up their contract an d
t fight in the courts a settlement of
their differences with the Commis
eon unless something was done at
Jy the prison the Commission says it
was forced to remove Mr China In
the statement the Commission says
that the HogeMontgomery Company
dn the last days of Mr Chiuns term
threatened to do this and for this
reason Mr CMnn was removed aad
E E Mudd appdinted
I Eli H Brown a member of the

has not been the attorney for the
I
prison contractors and that he Is
neither directly nor indirectly con
nected iv th the company He also
explains his connection with the new
j wr
York Life Insurance Company for
which he old sundry service as at
torney In matters before the General
I Assembly
AssemblyThe
The statement by the Commission
takes up first the matter of punish
ment of the convicts and says that
corporal punishment Is necessary in
the control of the convicts being the
only way they can be handled The
bloody strap of which Mr CHlnn
talked does not exist according to
the statement which says that visit
ors to the penitentiary are shown
the strap used to punish the con
vists and lif it was bloody at any
time it would have been noticed long
ago by these visitors The statement
also denies the charge that prisoners
n
are placed on the 25 cents list when
they are table to perform the tasks
done by 85 cents men It was charged
ty Mr Chinn that the men were put
On the list of those unable to do full
work when In actual fact they were
doing their regular work ThIs Is de
nied by the Commission With regard
to the payment by the contractors of
the guard Madigan It is admitted
that he was paid 100 by the contrac
e
t tors but tbs Is explained by the
statement that the Commission had
full knowledge of It and allowed It to
F be done because Madlgan was an expe
ilienced man and was about to leave
I the prison unless he could get more
morp
v In the statement is a letter from the
contractors complaining about the
discipline which was maintained in
the prison during Mr Chlnns term of
office and another letter also from
the contractors noting the great
change for the better which resulted
after Mr Mudd was made warden
