Texas Prisoner Killed
During Food Strike
BY The Asseeietsd Press

SUGAR LAND, Tex, Mar. 25.-
A Negro prisoner was shot to death
by q guard at Central Prison Farm
No. ! near here last night after
200 Negroes went on "food strike.
"He should not have been shot,
declared o. B. Ellis, general mana
ger of the Texas prison system. He
called the county sheriff into the
case to investigate.
The prisoner, Ernest Williams, ~,
was shot when he tried to escape
gas which had been sprayed into
the dining room in which the 200
Negro prisoners were locked.
Mr.. Ellis said Guard E. w. Pryor
told him Williams was trying to
raise q window and get out of the
dining room. He said his investi-
cation showed Pryor and another
guard had fired shots.
There was no chance whatever
for Williams to have escaped" Mr..
Ellis said. THE window had bars on
it. Even If he had raised the win
dow, he could not have gotten out.
Mr.. Ellis said two cans of sicken-
ing gas and two cans of tear gas
were sprayed into the dining room as
q disciplinary measure. The prison.
ers had been told in advance that
this would be done because their
conduct was uncalled for, Mr.. Ellis
said.
The trouble started about $50
pm. when the prisoners refused to
eat and threw their plates and food
on the floor. Mr.. Ellis was called.
He said he sampled the food and
