Guard Caught Taking Drugs to Con.
vcts,

Trapped by former Deputy Warden
Nj. NJ. Barnard, Burt Freever, a guard
at the Michigan state prison, con-
fessed that he had carried inside the
walls Of the institution bottles Of
white powder" the nature and char
acter OF which he did not know.
Breaking down when the deputy
told him he was up against it,"
Freezer stated that he had received
not only the bottles. but money as
well, through the United States mail
from some unknown source and that
he had carried the money and what
he thought might be talcum pow
der, only the bottles were smaller"
into the prison and had delivered
them to Arthur Moves.
1t also was learned today that the
warden himself has been working
for nearly a month to bring about
wholesale exposure and capture OF
the prison attaches who have been
taking drugs to convicts.
Through the finding OF a letter
written by q convict to a friend out
side it has been revealed that a dope
school has been conducted in the
Jackson prison by some Of the guards
and other employees; that Convicts
have been taught to use drugs and
then made TO pay exorbitant prices
to smuggle the stuff in to them.
