Good or Sorry

COLUMBUS. O.. April 2S-P-
National guardsmen and $50 Col
umbus police were sent into Ohio
penitentiary today.
Movement OF the policemen into
the prison climaxed a night OF
turmoil during which thousands OF
convicts tore down cell doors and
did other damage.
Machine guns were trained on
the penitentiary from national
guard headquarters across the
street, and all prison exits were
closely guarded BY soldiers.
The prisoners were creating no
disturbance at the time the police
men were dispatched, and 1t was
believed this was done to prevent.
rather than quell. an outbreak.
After entering the prison yard.
the officers formed in a semi
circle. apparently waiting TO watch
the convicts leave the cell blocks
for the mess halls.
Forty new prison guards en-
ployed TO augment the regular
force joined the policemen.
Good or Sorry

was expected unless the convicts
refused TO 90 TO work and 10 end
their passive resistance against
Warden p. z. Thomas. whose re-
moval they have demanded since

prisoners died.

unruly prisoners would not be given
any breakfast until we are through
hopping up with them"
Guards we're sent into the White
City idle house TO inform the pris-
oners Of this and to tell them BE
good or be sorry"
A guard captain rushed from the
idle house and informed the warden
that the bad men In the cell
block we're going 10 attempt a
break over the southeast wall. They
already had ropes in place, he said.

The largest expedition Of Scien-

Boy scouts were called TO aid the

Thirty boys were stationed a few
feet apart across the predetermin-

was that the tracing might enable
authorities to determine the moons
movements, which are erratic pc
