How do you make these conditions? Read the clipping I insert from one of your papers: ARE GIVEN LASHES ON BARE BACK IN ZERO WEATHER FOR THEIR CRIMES. WILMINGTON, Del. , Jan. 13. With arms tied to the extended arms of a cross and with backs bared to the zero gale, two men were mercilessly lashed in the court yard of the county workhouse here today, as part payment of the toll the State exacts for their crimes. John Brewington received forty lashes with a cat-o -nine-tails, in addition to which h...e will serve two years in state s prison for highway robbery. Arthur Johnson received twenty lashes and will serve one year for larceny. 32 PRISON POEMS. The men suffered frightfully from the cold and from the blood letting lashes and staggered semi-conscious, back to their cells. The whippings, as are all Delaware whippings, were public, and a morbid crowd stood against the prison walls and saw the heavy leather strap with its nine thongs cut deep into the quivering flesh of the wretches. The men were to have been lashed early today, but the two degrees above zero weather chilled Warden Crawford himself to such an extent that he postponed the whipping until the day warmed.
