Col. James S. JULL
This is the name of the Warden of the state prison at Nashville. He is charged with malfeasance in office, and is now being tried before the Penitentiary Commissioners. From the testimony taken in the case it appears that HULL is a fiend, a devil incarnate. It will be remembered that at the time he was placed in charge of the prison it was done by the radical rulers over the head of a gentleman that bid $175,000 more than he did. HULL is a particular pet of the Parson Governor, and a fair sample of the men of that stripe. These include whipping by a whip – sometimes up to sixty licks.
