INVESTIGATIONENDS;
DECISION REACHED.
Penitentiary Investigating Committee
Preparing Report.
WILL ADVISE PROSECUTION.
Holds That Col. Neai Is Dne Penitentiary
#11,009?Report to
(Governor Next Week.
Special to The State.
Greenville, August 3.?The investigating
committee linished its
work this morning. Col. Jones
arrived and was put on the witness
stand for about two minutes
to testify as to the W. W. Russell
note for $000, which Col. Xeal
has included in his liabilities.
Col. Jones handled the note at
the Carolina National bank and
merely testified that it was a new
note, not a renewal, and had been
placed to the ciedit of the penitentiary.
Mr. Stevenson then announced
that Mr. Russell couhl not on ae
count of sickness add his tosti
mony. However, the committee
would allow it to he recorded
that it is admitted that were Mr.
? Russell present he would testify
that the note given by him July
8, 1808, was an accommodation
note, and was not given to take
up any papers signed by himself
or by Russell A l'ret well.
This closed the taking of testi
mony in the investigation celebrated
as one which ha? not been
a white-washing affair.
Col. Neal, in his statement of
liabilities, conceded that he owed
the penitentiary $.1.!07.27. Yesterday
there was another item
added, $387.17, tor oats from .1. J.
Kretwell. This makes Col. Neal's
(leht $3.58 1.1 1 as rmipf-ilnit !.*?
himself and attorneys. However,
the committee claims that he is
involved for $11,000. They contend
that he owes the peniten
tiary $7,400 for convict hire in
addition to the $l>,f)84.l4, and a
few smaller item?, which Colonel
Neal has overlooked in Ins state
ment.
The committee will not submit
its report at once. The report
will be written tomorrow, hut will
not be sent to (iov. McKweenoy

with humiliating physical examinations.
The treatment may be
