prisoner is dead, one guard dying
and seven other guards are more or
less seriously injured as the result
of a riot Monday night in the mess
hall OF the home for mental delin-
quents in Napanoch, two miles from

leader of the riot, died from a frac-
tured skull when he fell to the con-
crete floor.
Jesse Christsana, a guard Of Ellen

stool during the riot and suffered a
fractured skull. Little hope Is held
for his recovery.
Four hundred inmates were at sup
per, attended by 15 guards armed
with slender wooden canes. The riot
started when, by a prearranged sig
nal, Sasso rose to his feet and threw
a bowl against the wall. Imme-
diately the mess hall was a mass Of
scrambling. shouting wild men. Bowls,
plates, cups, saucers, stools, knives,
forks and every other available object
went flying through the air.
The inmates attacked the guards
who We're outnumbered 20 to one.
One group OF 100 inmates stood
huddled together at one end of the
hall. The other 800, crazed by the
excitement, grappled and fought
with the guards, knocked each other
to the floor and overturned tables
Sasso, shrieking madly, ordered his
companions to follow him. They made
for the exit. Just as they were about
to go outside the hall, superintendent
w. y. Thayer appeared. He levelled
his revolver at the prisoners and
commanded them to stop. The men
crowded back into the hall, where a
reinforcement OF guards lined them
up and led them back 10 their rooms.
