with young White aboard, snapped
a tow line and drifted out to sea.
White was located after being
, picked up by the "Pequod," a fikh-
J ing craft that found the youth

Commissioner Cranberry declared
that the report# of the killing of a
prisoner, F.vans A. Evans, on the
Baetham Farm Sunday, by pHaoner
Franklin, building tender, grossly
misrepresented ihe true facte.
“When I was manager of Kastham
Farm I had to have Seans whipped
Itwioe In ten days." Commissioner
Cranberry said. "He was a hard
man to *handl«. My Investigation
disclosed that Franklin fought in
self-defense Evan* was the better
man physically. He knocked Frank-
lin down flr»t and then Franklin
came at F,van# with a knife. The
fight followed and the killing wat
unavoidable.”
The commissioner said that at tbs
commission meeting Monday no for-
mal report had been made of the es-
cape at Imperial Farm, at the camp
formerly known as the Neff Hoiior
farm, but that It waa “just a plain
cut-out and any guard who let* a
prisoner cut his way out Is negligent
and unfit for the Job, At the meet-
ing Monday l voted not? to reinstate
a guard discharged fey being negli-
gent. I don’t blame Buck Flani-
