Atlanta, Ga., April 6—Resolutions declaring that flogging of prisoners in convict camps is “responsible in a contributory sense for the condition of murder alleged to have been found in Jasper county” were adopted by the Atlanta Humane Society at its monthly meeting here last night.
The resolutions called upon Governor Dorsey to incorporate in his next message to the legislature a recommendation that a law be enacted abolishing whipping of prisoners in any state institution.
