The threat. which DR.. Day brought
out of the cell house after having en-
erred it to attend the dying and wound
ed convicts, was said to have made an
impression on the modified forces
which were considering measures for
iislodging the convicts. Fear that the
six guards would be put to death in
the event Of an attack. the Examiner
said. caused officials at the scene to
delay plans for advancing again.
DR.. Day was the only prison Off
cial who was able to moye through
the grounds without fear of being
moved down by bullets from the
guns held by the convicts. He was ad.
mitted to the cell house without ques-
ton and allowed to return toe the ad-

amount of ammunition held by the

The Examiner also published a

o'clock. preparatory to their discharge
as guards.
All the prisoners were moved into
their cells and a count was begun i'm
mediately.
Guards Overwhelmed.
The trouble started shortly before
noon Yesterday while the convicts
were watching a Thanksgiving day
entertainment. At a given signal.
they overwhelmed the eight guards
in the hall Of the old cell house and
started a break for liberty. The
break was frustrated by luck because
the key to the cell house door had
been transferred from one turnkey to
another.
One guard was killed on the spot,
aged to get out. leaving six guards
held as hostages. The six guards still
were among the barricaded convicts
TODAY but were believed to be alive.
The fighting convicts were believed
to have started the break in an effort
to swarm out of the old cell house and
escape through an unwaled side of
the prison area. Warden Court Smith,
who was trapped in his Office when the
siege began. his retreat cut off by
snipers among the convict horde, took
command Of the situation by tele-
phone and moved all available guards
to the unwalled portion of the prison.
All available policemen from Sacra-
mento 25 miles distant. were called.
and National Guardsmen were rushed
to the scene.
