WARDEN LAYS
PRISON UNREST
TO RED GROUP
Thomas Charges Confirmed
Anarchists Are Behind
Settling Resentment.
BY HARRY W. SHARPE
United Press staff Correspondent

COLUMBUS, April f5.--Warder
P. E. Thomas of Ohio state peni-
Tertiary today blamed agitation
among confirmed anarchists and
malcontents as responsible for un-
settled conditions within the
prison.
Approximately one hundred of the
four thousand population are
anarchists, Thomas told the United
Press, and intimated that they
we're aided by propaganda which
might have had its origin outside
the walls.
we have Bolsheviks, radicals
all hardened criminals-in there,
Thomas said, who represent the
law, its enforcement and officers as
vile and unjust.
"They attempt to hold up their
crimes a. something virtuous and
their punishment as something
maliciou.
'They seek to disseminate their
propaganda TO unsuSpecting and
model prisoners in attempts to
win converts and cause a revolt.
Search All Mails
1--WE always have had to remain
vigiIant to keep out doctrines OF
rsdicalism. That is one reason why
we search the mails.
Thomas said most Of the propa-
ganda had been circulated by word
OF mouth, but some of it might"
have been published within the
prison and distributed.
He regards radicalism among con-
victs as one of the major problems
of prison life.
within ten years" he said, "ev-
erv prison in the country will be
patrolled permanently by armed
troops.
The warden described three
fourths of the prisoners as model
and unblamable.
Meanwhile, conditions at the
prison, where 800 convicts were
either fatally burned or suffocated
Monday night, apparently were back
to normal
For a moment Friday nigh;
memories Of the disaster were re-
called when a fire alarm rang
through the prison. 1t quickly was
declared false. Other than the mo-
mentary excitement the prisoners
we're quiet.
STAR Troop Withdrawal
While an investigating committee
was preparing its report to Gov
ernor Myers Y. Cooper, arrange
ments were being made to remove
many of the troops which have sur
rounded the prison since the fire.
At the same time. Warden Thorn
as announced $50 convictS are to be
removed to another prison within a
few days to ameliorate congestion
He did not name the institution.
Only two developments served to
heighten the closing hours Of the
investigation.
Hubert L. Richardson, a guard
repudiated former testimony wher
he declared that a range door in the
cell house was open at the time he
discovered the blaze. This was in
contrast to his and Captain John
Halls previous testimony that said
a quarrel over keys to the locked
door caused the fatal delay.
Another phase of the inveStiga-
ton was opened when reports were
circulated that knives and guns
we're found on the bodies of con-
victS burned to death. Officials
however. refused to confirm or COM
ment on the report.
