Frenzied Prisoners Yell for Release and Threaten Omcers-Ef- forts to Quiet Them Only Partially Suc- cessful.
Empty Cartridge Shells Explained - Two Keep CTS Suspended Finger print Experts Continue Work of Identifying Dead in Morgue.

Columbus, April 4 LP, - As in vestigators of the Ohio penitcntiary fire today continued their probo into the disaster which took life toll of 31S convicts, the general spirit of un- rest in the prison flamed into open revolt against discipline. After night of disquieting reports. some 1000 ~convicts in the idle house threatened open warfare if they were not released immediately. They said they would kill the score of guards in the cell block if they were not turned loose from the cage into the yard.
 Disorder in Yards
 In the yard itself another disorder occurred. Some 100 convicts confined temporarily in the chapel, were in famed by incendiary speeches made by leaders. These men were from the cell block where a majority of the victims died. National Guard officers and prison officials attempted to quiet them.
 Mystery surrounding the firing of two shots during the fire was cleared up today when Warden Preston Thomas reported guard had fired a revolver twice to sound an alarm of fire.
 A trusty working outside the pris- on walls heard the shots, and looking up saw flames. He ran to q nearby fire box and sent in the first alarm.
 Suspension of one penitentiary guard, and a recommendation that another be suspended was announced today by Warden Thomas. He said he had suspended Guard Edward C. Kerr, for intoXication last night.
 Guard Captain Harry T. Laukhart recommended that Guard Roy C. Minshall, be suspended. He charged tho guard had failed to properly pa trol his beat last night.
 25 More Guards Ordered
 Immediate employment of 25 addi- tional guards at Ohio penitentiary was authorized by Hal H. Griswold. state director of welfare. A spirit of unrest in the prison since the tragic fire of Monday night was thought to have caused the director to order that more guards be placed on duty.
 Of the many prisoners who were injured and taken to the hospital, all but 14 had been released today and had returned to their companies. The IA continued in critical condition, Il being victims of pneumonia.
 Work was started to clear up wreckage and debris in the ill fatcd cell blocks, 25 prisoners doing the labor.
 Prisoners, most of them in their cells, continued to Srumble about
