Warden and 4 Guards
Indicted in GEORGIA
In Killings al Prison
By the Assoeioted Press

SAVANNAH, Ca, Oct. "A
warden and four Georgia prison
guards today were under Indictment
by a Federal grand jury which
charged they deprived 10 colored
convicts of their civil rights by
shooting eight to death and wound
ing two last July IL.
BY its action yesterday, the Fed
eral grand jury thus re-opened a
case which a Georgia Superior Court
grand jury already had written off
as justifiable.
The shooting took place at the
Glynn County prison camp, since
closed, near Brunswick.
The Federal indictment named
Warden H. G. Worthy along with
Guards Guy McNab, Remer Baze-
more, H. l.. Holmes and w. G.
Lawler.
Wanton Attack Charged.
The indictment charged the ward
en- and the guards fired shotguns
"wantonly, unnecessarily and with
out Just cause" at the convicts for
the purpose of imposing illegal, sum-
mary punishment"
BY that act, the indictment con-
tinued, the convicts were deprived
of their constitutionally guaranteed
rights ito be secure in their person
while in the custody of the State OF
Georgia and to be immune from il
legal attack at the hands Of officers
and employees of the State = ="
Further, the jury charged, their
rights mot to be subjected to pun
ishment without due process OF
law" nor "deprived of life without
due process of law" were violated.
Escape Attempt Claimed.
In the hearings before the State
grand jury, Warden Worthy con-
tended the shootings were justified
because the prisoners attempted a
mass escape after being returned
from road project on which they
had refused to work. At the time
of the shooting the 10 were in the
barbed-wire inclosed confines of the
prison yard.
The eight slain convicts listed in
the Federal indictment were Edward
Neal, James Smith, Jonas Smith
George Patterson, Don w. Stephens
Willie Amos Wright, Henry Manson
) and Will Frank Chambers. The two
wounded were listed as Willie H
Bell and Willie G. Brooks.

after the shooting, Bell testified tha
