Makes Report in regard to the punishment of a negro Boy for theft.




Office Supt. RF&AL 7' Dist
Lynchburg. Va Sept 1./65

Respectfully returned to Col O Brown. Asst Comr

From personal Investigation the negro proves to have been a very bad character and deserving confinement as probation to society.

Capt Elliott who gave the orders for his corporal punishment will be dismissed the service for sundry violations of orders and law.

In this event it will not, I presume, be necessary to prefer any charges by the Bureau.
