Peaceful Again
At State Prison

Peace and discipline reign again in
the South Carolina penitentiary fol-
lowing the mutiny of $50 prisoners
Monday afternoon when ii prisoners
and one guard were injured, the pen
;tentiary guard, reinforced by county
and city officers quelling the insur-
| rection only by the use of firearms.
The $50 men, who were locked in
their cells Immediately after the dem
onstration Monday afternoon, were
put back to work at the usual hour
yesterday morning and were at their
benches all day without any unto
ward incidents, the afternoon and
night in the cells having apparently
had a salutary effect upon them. The
men, prison officials report, showed
little of the surliness and dissatis-
faction that was evident Monday
when they were marched back to their
cells under the threatening guns of
officers. County and city officers
visited the penitentiary yesterday
morning in anticipation Of another
outbreak and would have been ready
to lend assistance if further trouble
had developed.
Of the Ia prisoners injured in the
riot only one, Nathan Rosen, is now
thought to be in a serious condition.
Rosen, who is serving an 18 months
sentence for forgery from Kershaw
county, was shot once in the abdo-
men, the bullet perforating the intes-
tines five times. Rosen was carried
o the columbia hospital where he
was operated upon Monday after
noon. His condition yesterday was
still considered dangerous, little
change for either good or bad being
observed. James H, Faulkner, who
was also carried to the hospital suff-
ering from bullet wounds in the hip
and left arm, was reported as show
ing expected improvement and is now
thought to be out of all danger. The
ii men, given treatment at the pen.
itentiary infirmary, all showed inn
provement yesterday and one, Albert
Lee, who was shot in the finger, was
released from the infirmary. Several
others are expected to leave the in
frmary in the next few days, since
all of the men under treatment there,
with the exception of Howard S.
Clarke, life timer from Florence
county, who had his ankle broken by
a bullet, suffered only flesh wounds.
