CANON CITY. Colo, Oct. 4
The mutiny of prisoners, goaded 10
desperation by the bestial regime
existing in the overcrowded peniten-

guards and six prisoners dead, and
the penetentiary buildings a mass

all night battle between prisoners
inside one of the cell blocks and the

the town and countryside who
swarmed to the scene when the out
break occurred yesterday noon.
Regime Worse Than Death.
The vicious prison regime, the
frightful punishment meted out be-
cause of the slightest infraction of

dished out as food caused the out

hoping to use them as shields in a
wholesale prison delivery. Word
was sent to Warden Francis Crsw-
ford that if the main gate were
opened all the guards would be re-

guards would be killed. Crawford,
like all state officials, knew that
prison guards are a species of ver-

dives of any city and refused to
comply with the demands of the
prisoners.
