Fire Set to Prison At Lu-
CiIe Mines and Terrible
Holocaust Follows
RESULT OF ATTEMPT OF
PRISONERS TO ESCAPE
Sleepy Conyicts stampede when They
Confront FIames-Desperate Negroes
Who Started Fire Are Themselves
Entrapped BY the Flames

Blocton, May 16.-(special) )-Twenty-
eight state convicts suffered death when
the prison and stockade at Lucille mines,
operated by the Red Feather Coal COM
pany, of which W. H. Perry is presi-
dent, were completely destroyed by fire at
2 O clock this morning. Three negro con-
victs who were attempting to escape by
setting fire to the prison are responsible
for the terrible holocaust. Lucille is four
miles south Of here in Bibb county.
Twenty-seven negro convicts were
burned to death.
One of the negroes who set fire to the
building was shot and instantly killed,
while attempting to escape.
Twenty-Five prisoners were more or less
seriously burned and several of them
may die.
Two men were shot seriously while at
tempting to escape by climbing over the
stockade fence.
From the best information obtainable
here the fire was started by three con-
victs who stole oil from their lamps
which they used in the mines. 1t is
stated that they spread oil promiscuously
about one section of the prison and when
they set it off the fire spread rapidly,
and many of the sleeping men confined
were caught by the angry flames before
they could make their way to the door
leading to the prison yard. The buildings
and stockade being Of dry pine, and
parts of them. being saturated with oil,
burned with startling rapidity. p s
PRISONERS CHARRED
BODIES PILED IN HEAPS
II seems that the negroes in one wing
OF the prison stampeded. and an eye wit
ness states that the dead lay in heaps
among the charred timbers, and that
the sight is appalling.
Owing to the fact that it was Sunday
night all of the convicts at the mines
i
The only three white men confined in
the prison barely escaped by breaking
down their cell. Many other narrow es-
capec are recorded.
1t is stated here that the stockade will
be rebuilt at once, and that work will
be well under way by tomorrow morning.
All of the convicts at Lucille mines are
state time men who are leased by the
state convict department to the coal COM
pany for the purpose of their mining coal.
J. H..Taylor is superintendent and IL
actual charge of the work.
The financial loss will reach several
thousand dollars.
. State Convict Inspector Hugh Wilson
has been sent to the scene and the gov
srnor has been advised and has offered
assistance.
The stockade was recently inspected
and was pronounced in good condition.
A number of the convicts are known to
several guards received slight injuries
while rescuing other men.
Other coal operators in Bibb county
hsve come to the assistance of the "Red
Weather company.
The camp is quiet tonight. Most of the
Nead will be buried tomorrow.
