BLOODY DETAILS
OF RIOT MURDER
I'm PRISON TOLD

COURT HOUSE. SACRAMENTO
Feb. A9-Ray T. Singleton's murder
Thanksgiving day during California's
historical uprising at Folsom peni-
tentiary today was charged to the
six men who led the revolt that
kept the prison in an uproar Tor 81
hours and brought out 1000 armed
soldiers, police, traffic officers and
deputy Sherii1S before 1t was subdued
The responsibility for the guards S
death was placed. ON the six convicts
by a prison officer and two OF the
1900 men he Is employed to help
keep within the walls of the penal
institution. They were eye witnesses
Ito the battle in which Singleton was
fatally wounded The responsibility
for the killing was further added to
by third prisoner
The men. so placing the RESPONSE
bility for Singletons death were AL
Deely, guard, 9shimself beaten and
stabbed in endeavoring to protect
Singleton; Lynn Woods, Los Angeles
burglar, and George Beeks, Los
Angeles poison act violator. Louis
Jodoin, Sacramento, attempted rob-
ber. was the corroborating witness. -
The men named as the slayers OF
the prison guard are Anthony Brown
James H. Gregg, Walter Z. Burke
Roy Z. Stokes, A. M. Stewart and
Eugene Crosby. All are on trial for
their lives before Superior Judge John
F. Pullen and jury OF three women
and nine men.
Surprising the defense, which on
several occasions has intimated 1t
believed there were no eye witnesses
to Singletons murder, the prosecution
called Deely and then the vivid
details surrounding the convicts at
tack upon Singleton were untclded
for the first time.
Deely was on duty within the school
building when he first saw Singleton
in the tunnel leading to the old cell
house. He also saw the six prisoners
there as he glanced after MS at>9n-
ton had been attracted by scuffling
feet, and there he saw Singleton and
the six prisoners, all armed, engaged
in what proved to be Sirigleton's
death battle.
The prisoners among them had
three knives, club and a, hatchet.
Fearing for the welfare OF his
fellow officer Deely rushed to his
assistance, but was met with rap
on the head by a policeman's billy.
Deely fell against the wall and was
hit on the head a second time, and
then stabbed.
Brown, he said, stood aside coun-
selling his companions. Brown once
pulled one OF his partners from the
struggling mass and forced another
in his place.
The fight swept to the cell house
where Singleton dropped.
Woods, who was attending the pic
ture show, witnessed the fight be-
tween Singleton and the prisoners
from point OF vantage on bench.
In the hallway he saw Singleton
fighting with Stokes, who held a
knife in his hand, and with Burke
who had a. razor. These men he
identified, although he said there
were several other convictS in the
passageway.
Beeks, a negro, saw the start OF
the battle, but left before its con-
clusion, but he saw Singleton when
he died a few minutes later in the
hallway.
To the story told by Deely, Woods
and Beeks, Jodoin added by stating
that while he was in the wash
room Stokes entered and wiped blood
from a knife Stokes said at that
time, he declared, that it was Single
tons blood and that he had stabbed /
the guard.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
NO CAUSE FOR ALARM

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
Oh father this prize fighters man
ayers say
That his fists are as heavy as rocks
That his wallops would hold large
lion at bay
And knock down the heaviest OK;
Don't you think, if he's ever allowed
in the ring
That buckets of blood will be spilled
And perhaps with some terrible walloI
or swing
The other poor chap will be killed?
Rest easy, my son, have seen many
bouts
And despite what the fight-fans
assert,
cannot refrain from expressing my
doubts
That any one even gets hurt
These blows that you fancy lior
would stun,
Not the ightest of oxen would feI
And the fighters, you'll find, when the
fighting is done
Look surprisingly hearty and well.
But father, what hate must these
fighting men feel,
What rage they must always be II
When such furious blows they car
savagely deal
At another mans nose or his chin
Do YOU think that such brutal en-.
counters are right?
Do you think, in this civilized day
That men should be ever permitted tt
fight
In this wicked and dangerous way
Take comfort, my son, when the bet
have been paid
And a few slight abrasions arr
dressed,
You will find that the lads in tht
prizefighting trade
Are as friendly as birds in theil
nest.
No feud will there be that thell
friends need to patch
They'll refrain from expressions ol
hate
Till they meet later on to fix up The
next match
And arrange for their share OF the
gate!
