Benjamin Littleton Does Not

Punishment.
Epeclal Clep&tch to The CaJl.
SACRAMENTO. Sept. 29.— Benjamin
I-Ittleton, a convict at Folsom, died at
the prison Monday from t the effects . of
punishment In the straitjacket. ; The
facts In the case have just come to light,
although there was no inquest and Lit
tleton, according to the official records,
died from "natural causes." Littleton
had refused to work and Wai-den Yell
ordered that he be put In tne jacket.
Alter he had been laced In the case but
a short time the prisoner fainted from
tHe agonizing pain. He was immediately
unbound and taken to the prison hospi
tal. After lingering for a few days he
died last Monday. He nad been inter
nally injured. The attending physicians
pronounctd uretic poisoning of the kid
hlv^s the cause of death.
Two years ago, when a great outcry
was made against the use of the strait
>«LCk?*, order was imrifA fry «h« P^jsp"
Directors, limiting the time the wardens
mU;ht keep a prisoner in the case and
providing that no convict was to be sub
jected to it unless the regular prison
physician first passed on his physical
condition and certified that he was able
to *;isr.d the ordeal. Warden Yell main
tains that he observed these conditions,
but the fact remains that some one erred,
li euch a word may be used. The fact
that Littleton fainted shortly after being
l»iaced in the jacke*. testifies . to the fact
that he was not physically able to stand
the ordeaL
The ca.se has not yet come before the
Prison Erectors, but it is safe to say that
es souii as the facts are known an in
\tstigation will be ordered.
Littleton had been sent to Folsom from
Los Angeles for burglary. He had been
a. tJoub'csome convict.
WAIIDEX YELL'S VEUSIOX.
"Littleton was an incorrigible prison
er," said Warden Yell to-day. "I had
ordered his punishment in minor ways
fctverai times for infractions of the rules,
and finally 1 was obliged to tell him that
the next time he was sent to me it would
be the straitjacket for him. He was
cent to me again for misconduct and I
fell obliged to keep my word. So he was
ordered confined iv the straitjacket. It
Is the iiractice in all such cases to ex
amine the culprit carefully as to hia
physical ability to stana the punishment,
amd this was dune in Littleton's case by
I>r. Charles i\ Giadding, the prison phy
eician. Littleton revealed no weakness,
and in the presence of the physician and
the turnkey he was accordingly placed
In the jacket.
"Il is usual to confine an offender two
hours in the strait jacket, but Little
ton had undergone the punishment only
twelve or fourteen minutes when ho
fainted. He was immediately taken out
and brought to the prison hospital,
v here he was treated for several days
before his death. On Monday last . Dr.
Giadding and . the assisting physician
performed an autopsy, and reported that
Littleton had died from uretic poisoning
cf the kidneys. Littleton was buried on
the prison grounds after • the manner of
other convicts who die . there."
XO IXQL'EST PERFORMED.
Warden Yell was asked if the punish
ment to which Littleton; was subjected
may not have caused death by "compres
sing the kidneys so they would not per
form their functions.
"I do not think that possible." said
tfce Warden, "for the inside of the
etraitjacket is padded at the waist to
prevent undue pressure on the part of
the body where the kidneys are located."
"Had Littleton had any kidney com
plaint while a convict, or received treat
ment' for any such disease?"
"No; he had not," replied Warden
Yell. "Littleton was a very compact,
hardy-appearing fellow of probably 30
years of age." i „
Asked if the County Coroner had been
notified so that an inquest might have
been held. Warden Yell said this was not
done for the reason it was not considered
necessary, as the physicians performed
an autopsy, and had returned a report
that death had resulted from natural
causes. Warden Yell said Littleton's
body bore no signs of injury from the
Et: ait jacket "punishment.
