Those Of the rioters who did not
die in the hail Of police and guard
bullets. DR.. Raymond F. Kieb, state
commissioner Of correction, said,
would undoubtedly find themselves
faced with charges Of murder, first
degree. These men. he said, were
implicated in a killing during the
commission Of a felony-attempting
to escape from a prison. Conviction
on this count, he said, meant
death.
Fifteen to twenty convicts we're
in charge Of the prison for more
than five hours, before the spec
tacular dash Of the troopers at
$50 p. m. saved the day.
Any possible ardor for further
rioting was chilled by a night spent
in a prison through which winter
winds whistled. Glass in the cell
block windows were shattered BY
bullets IN the fighting.
Warden Jennings was captured
about IL o'clock in the morning
when he went into the heart Of
the prison TO investigate a report
that something was doing" Re-
turning from the kitchen. he was
met by a convict who showed a gun
into his stomach and said do not
move or say anything, Warden, or
I will kill you"
Three convicts were killed in the
fight that resulted in the rescue
of the warden and the keepers.
Leaving their dead behind. the re-
mainder, numbering about fifteen,
~retreated to the rear hall. State
police armed with machine guns
advanced and ordered the convicts
to tear down the barricade they had
erected.
Several guards were wounded
and gassed. George z. Atkins was
shot in the face and back and prob
ably fatally wounded: James =. Van
Heusen was shot in the eye; Albert
c. Holzhauer was shot in the
mouth. In addition to the warden,
those who suffered from gas were
Claude r. Dempsey. Walter Failey,
Luciuc Hugunin, and Milton j.
Riker.
Durford was shot at the incep-
ton OF the riot when he resisted an
attempt by three convicts to seize
and hold him as a hostage. With
the aid OF an unidentified convict
he dragged himself out of reach,
but died shortly after reaching a
hospital.
