Benjamin Littleton Does Not Long Survive Terrible 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. ROCICEFELLER FINDS FRIEND IN ST.
