AUBURN PRISON AGAIN'
SCENE OF BLOODY MUTINY*
AUBURN, N* y.—For the second
time within six months a desperate'
group of long-term convicts in the
Auburn state prison mutinied and
| spread death and .terror throughout
the prison, shooting d^wn thp prin
cipal keeper and seizing the warden
and seveen guards, who werp held as
hostages for the safe conduct of the
convicts to freedom.
Armed with guns smuggled into
the prison from outside its walls, ap
proximately lfteen hundred convicts
participated in the revolt, which was
under the leadership of a dozen des
perate long-termers.
A call for assistance brought na
tional guardsmen and state troopers
to the prison, and the wails were en
tirely surrounded with men armed
with loaded guns. The front gate of
the prison was ordered opened and
word sent to the convicts to He out,
with a thousand men prepared to
stage battle should the convict* re
fuse.
The order was coomplied with by
most of the prisoners, and within four
hours Warden Jennings and ajl seven
of the guards were snatched to safe
ty by state troopers operating behind
a barrage of tear guns.
Three convicts, including the
spokesman of the mutineers, were
slain, while the remaining members
of the little group of desperadoes re
main barricaded in the back hall of
the prisc^ji.
The known dead are George A.
Durnford, principal keeper, who was
shot at the outbreak; Harry Sullivan,
leader of the mutineers, and two uni
dentified convicts.
Three guards were wounued in the
exchange of shots, one of whom is
probably fatally shot.
