Roport of the Invotitigating Cominittoo

The report of the Commi8sion to
OXA11m110 intlO th3 co1iion and man
agemet of tho charitable and ponal
institutions of the State, so far as it
refers to the penitentiary, is rich in
evidunco that, from the end of the
administration of the first supOIin
temdent, Mr. Thomas Lee, to the
beginning of the term of the pres
out superinteident, Colonel Par
mole, those in chargo of the inftitu
tin, a; sitpovintidents and direc..
tors, amply deserved incarceration
within its walls. Durl-ing the wN'ho1o
of tho period reforred to, which in
cludes the adininistrations of Stol
brand and Dennis, as superintcud
fats, tho Commission is unable to
1ind a singlo aceount or bill ron
dord,or ovou,ber of any kind for
the disbursemiuat of the immonso
Sumllis of publia m11olcy wIlich woro
spout oil accoullt of tho puliton
tary ; and foi a great part of that
poriod thuro were 11o books or other
permanellt records of the institu
tion.
Two repr)vt givos, in detail, a
nuiuber of
QUEOTIONABLE TRANSACTIoNS
during the term of General Stol,.
brand, which may be suminarizId as
follows: 1st.. In 18i2 General
StoIlbrand borrowed from Gov. R.
K. Scott for tho use of of the peni
teitiary 815,000, for which he hy
pothecated $30,000 in treasury
warrants, allowing a disColult oil the
luai of $i05 with an express under
stn mling that tho loan was not to be
enforced until th inistitiution was
in funds. Scott, however, sold half
the warrantA t thmir fvno y hwi, to
the treasurer of 1R '11a-nd colinty,
paid over $5,000 to Air. Hardy Solo.'
mon to tle credit of the peh n liten
tiary, and rotailod the remaill4ler as
so much elear profit. The Commis
I sion recomimend that GOVOrlor
Scott bo made to disgorge. 2d. In
18'1l General Stolbrand bought
from Mr. Hardy Solomioi a batch of
worthless miachinery at a cost of
$2,903.35. which he chargcd to the
piutentiary at $6,480. The ia
chitnry was inover iied. 3d. From
the books of Mr. Mardy Solomon it
appears that the total charges made
by him igainst the penitentiary
during Gen. otolbran('s administra
tion woro)42,049.55, while on tho
books of tho pemiteitiary the iiiti
tittion is charged, and General
Stolbrand crodited onl Hrdy Solo
mon's iecount, with $75,170.75 4th.
Gbenoral Stoibranid dep)osited with
Hlardly Solomon both lhis perVsonal
funds and those of the institut.ion
Over which lie pre.sided, alike to
his personal account, and on Solo
mon's books there are numerous
entries to the credit of
"JOINT Pn1OFI'i's,
which Solomon explains as a comn
mission to SN>lbrand for the use of
the funds.
Having thus shown up the dough
ty Stolbrand, tihe Commission next
pay their attention to tile noble
Dennis, and begin with the astound.
ing assertion that they findi Is
administration "*nmarkedl by fraudls
and irregularities nlot su rpassod in
any other department of the pulic
service." TIhis seemingly bold
declaration is fully substantiated by
the details which are given. Th?co
preiouIs ; amps, Neagle, Nashl
andC Hlayno, wereo the directors with
whom Dennis had to deal, and this
worthy qiuia totto soon1 pr1oved thona.
selves snpe)rior in fraud to any of
thoillains whom they had in their
care. They signalized their entry
into office by a scheme for swind
hing the Staito by furnishing bricks
worth $8 a thou.sand and charging
$12 a thlousalnd for them. But this,
being rat.her slow, was improved on
b)y supplying only a simall quantity
of bricks and charging for them twvo
or throe times. It appears from the
evidonco that noe more than five
hiundred thousand bricks woero fuir
nislhed, for which Neaglo was p)aid
$10,000, Nash $4.962.60, and both
parties, at diffrent times in orders
on Solomon, $1,627.76-making in
all $16,500.36, or some~thinig over
$35 per thousand. Nasn was 'pro
vided for in addition by orders on
Solomon to the amnotn of $8d00 e
month for four months. For
layno,
A IJOoUS CONTRACT
for wood was made with an imagi
nary "Win. Snoider," and Hayno was
paid some $1,800, which was charged
to tho penitontiaryon his wood con
tract. When Dennis went into
ofilie he found Hardy Solomon in
pos;iession of $15,000 in treasury
warrimts signed by Governor Scott,
which had been paid him on ac
count by General Stolbrand in 1872,
mut which ho could not use on
aecount of an Act of the Legislature
piassed about that time requiring
warrants to be executed by the
Comptroller-Genoral. Dennis issued
to Solomon regularly executed war,
rnuits in lien of the old ones, but,
instead of the old onus being de
stroyed, they were lodged with
Governor Moses, and he, with the
aid of D. H. Chamberlain, then
Attorney-General, negotiatod, with
them as collaterals, a loan of $10,.
000 from the Bank of the State.
The report says that there is no
roason to doubt the truth of this
transaction, and that it was one of
tihe
MoST FLAGITIOUS ACTS
of that corrupt period. In 1873 a
quantity of United States army
clothing was bought for the use of
the penitentiary, and this was used
by Nash for uniforming his regi
ment of National Guards. Several
petty acts of theft are also charged
agaii.st Nash, Singleton, an ox
.nember of the Legislature, and
Barker, of Edgefield, at that time
:haiirnan of the House Penitentiary
Committee. Presents of the work
of the convicts were made to offi
cials of high and low degree.
Hayne, Secretary of State, and his
own brother, kept high-bred horses
at the penitentiary at the public
expense, tho grooms, as well as the
food, being paid out of the funds of
the penitontiary.
The following
SPECIAL ACT OF CRUELTY
is also charged, in addition to the
long array of frauds and thefts. The
reo"rt, says "On one occasion
IenrY iayne, a director, to punish
a convict for some alleged offence,
had him stripped entirely naked,
and, aftor tyir g him up by his hands
and smearing molasses all over his
jerson, left him to the tortures of
a hot summer sun and swarming
Lias." This samo Henry Hlayne, who
by the way is a colored man, is
acecused of having, on various occa
sions, without authority of law
inflicted lashes upon convicts with
his own hands.
In regard to the administration
of Colonel Parmole, the Commission
say they could find no evidences of
the existonce of wrongs and irregu
haritics such as charactorized pro -
vious administrations. The grounds
and promises are well policed and
in exceolnt order, the books and
records full and clear, with proper
vouchers, and the maintenance of
convicts is reduced to a scale of
economy that will scarcely admit Qf
further reduction, namely, eight
cents a day for each convict.
In conclusion, the report treats
of escapes, the means of prevention,
the proper employment of the
convicts, all of which have been
fully discussed in these columns in
-onnect ion with the annual rep)ort
cC Colonel Parmelo, previously
published.
The report shows that a great
amount of evidence must have been
.akon, and that the Commission,
cosisting of Senator -Cannon, of
5Ipiartanburg, and Representatives
11. R. Homuphill, of Abbeville, and
I. A. Gaillard, of Fairfield, not
only dtevoted much time and labor
to the task assigned them, but that
they performed their work with a
persistent and intelligent skill wor
thy of all admiration.
