prison yard toward row OF cell
blocks. Seven of the wounded were
fellow convicts and the other was

The prison was thrown into con-
fusion by the outburst and for a
time it was feared a wholesale
break might ensue. Shouts of wall
guards as they fired at the negro
mingled with the cries OF terrified
prisoners running from the bullets
that raked the yard.
Warden James B. Holohan said
Adams. serving a 10 year term from
Los Angeles for conviction of as

der, had been released from solitary
confinement only last Sunday. He
had been found with knife, the
warden claimed.
After dinner last night, Adams,
known as a tough customer, broke
prison rules by lightning a cigaret
before the line of prisoners left the
hall. A guard started him toward
the captain of the guards office,
where punishment is mcted out.
Suddenly Adams broke from the
unarmcd keeper and raced across
the yard. He had no chance to es-
cape, and at first the gun guards
on the wall fired around him. As
he nesred the cell blocks two bullets
brought him down. killing him in
