every case the complainant was first warned by the Court of what would 

happen if the charge proved to be unfounded。 

     I   made   inquiries   among   the   people   and   was   told   that   the   law   was   a 

great promoter of peace and good will。

                               CHAPTER II 



                           DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE。 



     During   the   following   week   I   called   on   the   Minister   of   Justice   and 

informed her of my desire to learn the workings of her Department。 She 

handed me a copy of the Penal Code�察�and I was astonished to find how 

simple the course of procedure was compared with that of my own country。 

Felonies ranked in the following order�此�Murder�察�Rape�察�Incest and crimes 

against     nature�察  �Arson�察    �Robbery�察    �Assault    to   Murder�察   �Manslaughter�察�

Mayhem�察      �Bribery�察  �Larceny     and   Perjury。  The    law   held  one   degree    of 

murder and that was with malice aforethought�察�but where a person killed a 

human      being   wantonly�察    �without    cause   or   malice�察  �the   homicide     was 

committed   to   the   Lunatic   Asylum�察  �and�察  �after   one   year's   imprisonment�察�

deprived   of   the   sexual   organs�察  �and   if   his   or   her   conduct   endangered   the 

peace or safety of the community�察�were to be chloroformed。 

     The   penalty   for   murder   was   imprisonment   for   life�察  �subject   to   parole 

after ten years。 Rape fiends were sentenced to twenty´five years�察�and after 

one year's imprisonment to be desexualizcd and subject to parole after five 

years。 

     Persons found guilty of Incest and crimes against nature received the 

same punishment as Rape fiends and subject to parole after five years。 The 

penalty for Arson was twenty years�察�subject to parole after four years。 For 

Robbery   fifteen   years   and   subject   to   parole   after   three   years。   The   same 

penalty   for   Assault   to   Murder   and   subject   to   parole   after   three   years。 

Manslaughter�察�Mayhem and Bribery were punished by imprisonment for 

ten years and subject to parole after two years。 Larceny and Perjury were 

punished by five years' imprisonment�察�and subject to parole after one year。 

Public officials who embezzled public funds were committed for Perjury 

as well as Larceny�察�and were debarred from ever holding office。 The law 

provided that in the course of the trial of any person charged with Felony�察�

if the evidence showed they had committed a felony�察�other than the one for 

which they were being tried�察�then the Court could sentence them for the 

crime that the evidence showed they had committed�察�even if there was not

sufficient   evidence   to   convict   them   of   the   crime   with   which   they   were 

charged。 

     Any person found guilty was remanded to the custody of the Governor 

of the district to await the decision of the Supreme Court。 If they appealed�察�

and   the   appeal   was   not   confirmed�察  �they   were   sent   to   the   nearest   State 

Prison�察�of which there are at the present time twenty´five。 

     No fines were imposed for any crime and no confiscation of property 

for any cause。 

     A Magistrate was elected in every sub´district�察�according to population。 

One for every ten thousand inhabitants�察�at a salary of three dollars per day 

the   year   'round�察  �and   who   tried   all   persons   charged   with   Felony�察  �and   if 

proven guilty�察�committed them to the District Court´but a charge of Felony 

could be made before the District Court�察�and if probable cause was shown�察�

the case came up for trial。 The Magistrate was authorized by law to release 

any person charged with a misdemeanor on probation�察�or to sentence them 

from one month to twelve months' imprisonment at hard labor within the 

district�察�and the prisoners were paid for their work from five to twenty´five 

cents   per   day�察  �according   to   their   ability   and   skill�察  �and   the   money   they 

earned was sent to their wives and children�察�if they had any。 If they were 

single�察   �what    they   earned    was   paid   to  them    at  the  expiration     of  their 

sentence。 No handcuffs�察�balls or chains or Oregon Boots were permitted to 

be used�察�but if the person in custody was violent�察�a jacket with straps at the 

waist to secure the hands at the side was provided and no punishment was 

inflicted   for   violation   of   the   prison   rules´but   bread   and   water   for   three 

days at any one time。 If a prisoner committed sodomy or other infamous 

crime   against   nature�察  �while   in   custody�察  �he   was   castrated�察  �and   if   he   still 

persisted in   committing   crimes   against nature�察�he   was   chloroformed。  No 

trial by jury was permitted in cases of misdemeanor´but an appeal to the 

Governor was allowed by law and a copy of the evidence in the case was 

sent to him and he had to decide according to the law and evidence within 

thirty days and publish his reasons therefor in the District Newspaper。 By 

permission of the Minister of Justice I was granted authority to visit the 

State Prison�察�carrying with me a letter instructing every prison official to 

assist   me   and   to   furnish   me   all   the   information   within   their   power。   The

prison   was   located   in     the   center   of   a   Military   Preserve�察  �consisting   of 

ninety´two   thousand   one   hundred   and   sixty   acres�察  �all   in   a   high   state   of 

cultivation。 Railways traversed the reservation�察�but no trains but military 

ones were permitted to stop within its limits。

                             CHAPTER III。 



                          A VISIT TO A STATE PRISON。 



     The Minister of Justice placed an automobile at my service�察�and when 

I arrived at the boundary of the reservation�察�I was stopped by a   military 

officer。 I handed him my letter from the Minister of Justice�察�and�察�glancing 

over it�察�he replied�察 �You are welcome�察─�and�察�taking a seat by my side�察�we 

drove to the prison grounds�察�where I was introduced to the Superintendent�察�

and invited by him to be his guest during my stay。 I found the prisoners 

garrisoned in company quarters。 One hundred and thirty´five privates�察�nine 

corporals�察�three sergeants and one company clerk constituted a company�察�

with a captain in command of them holding the same rank and pay as a 

captain   in   the   army�察  �and   who   was   chosen   from   the   non´commissioned 

officers    in  the  army    for   distinguished    services。   The    prisoners   were 

classified   in   twelve   companies。   Four   companies   formed   the   first   grade�察�

consisting   of   Companies      A�察  �B�察 �C  and   D�察  �four  companies    formed    the 

second grade�察�consisting of Companies E�察�F�察�G and H�察�and four companies 

formed the third grade�察�consisting of Companies I �察�K�察�L�察�and M。 The first 

grade received fifteen cents per day and the third grade five cents per day�察�

and no pay was forfeited for violation of prison rules and regulations�察�but 

prisoners received no pay during the time they were on bread and water。 

Corporals   received   fifty   per   cent。   more   pay   than   privates�察  �and   sergeants 

and company clerks one hundred per cent。 more。 Prisoners were required 

to work eight hours each day�察�Sundays excepted´commencing at eight a。 

m。�察�with one hour for dinner�察�and ending at five p。 m。�察�and to attend night 

school from six p。 m。 until eight p。 m。 five nights in the week�察�and once a 

week musicians and singers visited the prison and gave entertainments。 

     The   company  quarters   were   only  one´story  high�察  �but   were   large   and 

well ventilated�察�being eighty feet square with wide verandas and furnished 

with steam and hot water pipes for cold weather�察�and lighted throughout 

by incandescent lamps。 

     The   beds   were   all   singly   arranged   in   rows   and   well   furnished   with 

mattresses�察�blankets�察�sheets and pillows�察�and the room had nine large wash 



                                           10

basins   at   one   end   of   the   room�察  �where   all   the   company  could   wash   their 

hands and faces and comb their hair。 

     The    captains    were    required    to  sleep   in  the   same    rooms    with   the 

prisoners�察    �and   to   eat  with   them    in   the  dining´room�察     �and    were   held 

responsible for their care and good conduct。 He could sentence them for 

misconduct to three days on bread and water�察�but for serious offences they 

were tried by a Court of three Judges�察�appointed by the Minister of Justice。 

     The     regimental     dining´room      where     all  the  companies      dined    was 

divided into three sections�察�with partitions eight feet high between them�察�

each   section   having   a   door   connecting   with   the   kitchen�察  �and   the   food 

furnished of good quality�察�but differing in degree according to grade。
