occurrence in the government prison
here Sunday resulted in the death OF
two former officers and free street
rioting. The two army officers, VINO
were appointments of so-called regi-
eide regiments were detained IN

driven to despair by the delay and
illegal obstacles put in the way OF
bringing their cases to trial, the two
prisoners, while exercising in the cor
ridor, wrested guns from the prison
guards and, barricading themselves IN
a room, fired through the windows
into the street The commandment OF
the prison ordered the guards to seize
them and a desperate fight followed.
Two guards were wounded, and, ac'
cording to official account, the two
former officers committed suicide with
their last cartridges. Other accounts.
however. say that the two officers
were strang ed by the guards. who
then emptied their reyolvers into the
