COLUMBUS, O., April 23.-Every

cinders in the lousy Ohio Peniten-
tiary could have been saved if the
guards hadn't been "too anxious to
keep them penned up" testified to-

called to white-wash the blood.
thirsty prison authorities.
Evidence brought out today
showed that the Ohio Governor had
been warned Of the vile and danger
GUS conditions existing in the hor-
ribly overcrowded hell-hole. But
what do a few hundred burned
prisoners matter to capitalist poll
ticians who are glad to have the
jails depleted so they can fill them
with unemployed victims?
The guards joked and kidded with
one another while the men were
dashed by tongues of flame, suffo-
eating in binding smoke, and dy-
ing in cages like trapped rats.
A news item in the New York
Evening World tells of how the
blood-lusty daughter of the prison
warden watched the "show" calmly
until her jewels were in danger of
burning. "The daughter of the
Warden" writes the World, calm
ly directed the guards and soldiers
in the prison fire. She did not show
any alarm until her valuables were
threatened" Three hundred men
burned into mass of scared flesh
and the Warden's daughter is a
heroine protecting her jewelry!
