For the first time In it's history

municipalities.
1t was after the crowd became TN
manageable that Police Chief Niels

near-panic stricken city.
The Morgan officers raced TO this
city at a record breaking speed,
averaging a little more than mile
a minute. They were the first to
arrive in this city and as they came
tearing down Smith street from the
rear of the crowd, the latter open
ed lanes for their passage almost
mechanically. They Immediately
started to back the crowd away
from the Odd Fellows building.
Meanwhile from the twenty-five
mile away post, Freehold. came
Corporal Woodge with Troopers

ter in an automobile with rifles es-
pecially designed for riot use. Mile

were able to leave for their respec.
tive stations. AS the crowd. thinneo

THREE GUNNER
| ARE FOUND DEAD
Two Thought to Have Shot
Selves or Been Slain BY
Their Companion.

Western Kentucky State Peniten
tiary via Paducah, Ky.-A stormine
party entered the mess hall fortress
here, held by three conyict-murderers
when they killed three prison guards
in desperate bid for freedom-and
found them dead. Indications were
that the gunner had been dead for at
least SO hours. Two of them possibly
for two days and nights.
Entrance to the bullet-torn two
story building was affected by de-
tail of seven picked men after the
desperadoes' stronghold had been
flooded for an hour with ammonia
fumes. Bodies of the convict-gunmen
were found on the floor of the second
story of the building.
Monte Walters body was found near
the northwest wall, with bullet
would through the head and horribly
burned from bursting rifle grenade
Bodies of Lawrence Griffith and Harry
Ferland, Walters companions in the
spectacular "last stand stripped to
the waist, were partly sheltered under
a table against the wall of the north
west side. Powder burned bullet
wounds over the heart indicated the
manner in which Griffith and Ferland
died. Ferland's gun hand, stiff in
death, gripped a heavy caliber auto
matte pistol.
Ferland and Griffith's arms were
folded as though the bodies had been
arranged after death.
The siege was begun after the des
peradoes, turned back by guards from
q dash toward the main gate of the
prison, took refuge in the mess hall.
Four guards were wounded, three of
them fatally, by the convict gunner,
before they were driven into the mess
hall.
