"But it is perfectly evident at the

Declares Convict and Guard

PENITENTIARY CHAPTER
FOUNDED BY MINISTER
Vaccinations of Order Held Cause
of Outbreak That Took Toll
of 13 Lives.

By the Associated Press.
DENVER, Colo, November 2B-DiS-
closure of the existence Of an organized
Ku Klux Klan group within the walls
of the Colorado Penitentiary, with both
guard and convict members, presented
a new angle today in the investigation
of the mutiny at the penitentiary Oc-
tober 8, in which IS lives were lost.
The revelation was made by Thomas
J. lyman, for 16 years warden of the
prison, in testimony before Gov. Will
liam H. Adams special commission in
veStigating the riot. He testified that
plotting Of the Khan against the prison
administration had caused collapse Of
discipline.
Responsible for Outbreak.
Lack of proper discipline, traceable to
this organization, was responsible for
the outbreak of last month, during
which a handful Of convicts barricaded
in a cell house held the entire law en-
forcement machinery Of the State at
bay for more than 1S hours, the former
warden asserted.
lyman charged that former gov
ernor negotiated with Klan ofncialS in
an effort to oust lyman as warden. He
timed that attempt during the admin
iStration of Gov. William z. Sweet. In
his testimony, however, he did not men
ton Sweets name.
In order to get me in bad lyman
told the commission, "he (the governor)
met secretly with the Klan. AS a re-
suit Of these conferences charges were
preferred against me-"
lyman testified that the late Rev.
Fred G. Arnold. one time head of the
Klan in Colorado, organized the branch
Of the order in the penitentiary,
Political Maneuver.
He further charged the organization
of the Klan inside the penitentiary was
political maneuver and had lasting
effect In the administration Of prison
affairs.
After making his charges of Khan
Vaccinations, lyman urged the COM
mission to recommend changes In the
administration of the penitentiary.
He suggested cement factory or
some other similar enterprise be estAb-
liShed within the prison walls to EN-
ploy convict labor. He testified that
highway construction offers one Of the
best labor activities for prisoners.
lyman blamed the State Legislature
for not providing larger quarters and
making greater improvements in de-
claring overcrowding one of the worst
evils of the present situation at the
prison.
