to come TO the aid Of Brownsville
when a way out Of the situation
has been devised.
Right now the general opinion
Is that Brownsville officials and
others most familiar with condi-

to back a program which would do
away with o-vercrowding and lack
of proper sanitary safeguards.
Publication OF the investigation
by the Herald provoked widespread
discussion in both Harrington and
San Benito where the hope gen.
orally was expressed that some
manner of dealing with the crisis
can be found other than by voting
a bond issue 10 build a jail.

WARDEN Seat
UNCERTAIN IN

Bodies Remain
Unclaimed Of
800 Victims

COLUMBUS. O.. April 25.ZPl-
Whether Preston e. Thomas would
be removed as warden Of Ohio Peni-
Tertiary remained uncertain today
as the state prepared to wind up its
investigation OF last Mondays pri-
son fire that resulted in the death
Of 32C men.
The board OF inquiry transferred
its activities today from the Penni-
Tertiary TO the office Of Attorney
General Gilbert Bettman. A report
of the investigation will be placed
before Governor Myers Y. Cooper
tomorrow. Until then, the governor
will take no action regarding the
administrative personnel at the
penitentiary.
No convicts were summoned TO
appear at the final session Of the
board. Several guards, including
Night Captain John Hall, Thomas
Atkinson, William Baldwin. and
Thomas +. Little, we're recalled to
give further testimony as TO their
efforts to rescue the Inflated pris-
oners from the locked cells.
Confusion Blamed
Several witnesses have testified
that confusion among the guards
was responsible for the delay In get
ting the doors Of the burning and
smoke-filled cells unlocked. Two
persons, Albert Nice. chief OF the
Columbus Fire Department, and
Deputy Warden j. G. woodward,
told the investigators they believed
all OF the men could have been
saved had the cells been opened
promptly.
Apparently accepting restoration
OF prison discipline, the convictS
went to breakfast IN an orderly
manner today. Cat-calls and hoot-
ing we're absent, and for the first
time Ia four days tire nseri marched
with a snappy step. Guards express
ed amazement at the demeanor Of
the men who only yesterday were
a bowling mob, refusing to abide
by the orders Of their keepers and
refusing to heed orders until their
demands for removal of Warden
Thomas were met.
140 Unclaimed
OF the $40 victims OF the disaster,
lao bodies remained unclaimed to-
day at the improvised morgue at
the State Fair grounds. For those
still unclaimed at 4 p. m, the state
had provided burial places in two
Columbus cemeteries. The casketS

is conceded that it will pass
