necessary, except when I made an application to the assistant
hospital Stewart at the request of a female convict, when he
informed me he had furnished such medicine as the doctor
had prescribed. Dr. "W. G. Hill visits the Penitentiary every
day, and remains there from one to three hours. The
provisions are j)lentiful, healthy and well cooked, that are
furnished the guard and that to the convicts, too, so far as I
know. Last Summer the meat was pretty rough, I mean
fat ; some of it was fried after being boiled. I went into the
Governor's office last Fall at the request of Dick Fowler,
when I was questioned by the Governor's Private Secretary,
Mr. J. B. Neathery, in regard to matters connected with the
Penitentiary, who made a written statement, which I signed
at his request. i\Ir. Kader Howell was with me there.

Sworn to and subscribed.
David B. Hamlet being sworn, testifies :
I went to the Penitentiary the 3d day of June, 1871, and
continued there until the 18th day of March, 1872. I saw
Stewart IMurray carr}^ away bread from the Penitentiary in
his arms, about one dozen loaves wrapped up in a newspa-per
at a time. I saw him take either five or seven head of
hogs out of the Penitentiary that would weigh 185 or 140
pounds. I saw j\Ir. Murray take away a milch cow from
there and afterwards saw her in Mr. Murray's lot. I have
seen convicts gagged, and they fainted under the process. I
have seen bad provisions fed to the guard and convicts. At
some time the meal of which the bread was made seemed to
have been ground out of spoilt corn. At one meal the
bacon was spoilt and several times the fish were unsound.
