battle their way to liberty and after
a night spent under the sleepless eyes
of scores Of guards, reinforced by IA
State troopers.
The hoots and Kisses and raucous
laughter flung by the conquered pris-
oners at the guards last night after
they were forced to return to their
cells, leaving three of their fellow riot
ers dead, had ceased. In their place
was a Sullen silence, or, at most. a
guarded grumbling.
Prison, State and county authorities
sought to determine the background OF
the riot which led to the simultaneous
storming of three walls by the battal-
ions Of desperadoes yesterday morning.

forms Of amusement.
