FEAR FELT FOR WARDEN
Doctors at the prison hospital treated Warden Larkin for severe i iast two years, stab wounds in the abdomen. Doubtful hopes were held for his recovery.
W. J. Ryan, captain of the guards, and Jamas Kerns, member of the guard staff, also received dangerous wounds from the knives wielded by the revolting prisoners.
The outbreak occurred during a regular Sunday morning interview between prisoners and penitentiary officials in the office of the warden.
A line of men was waiting to discuss applications for parole and to. ask questions, when suddenly seven men jumped forward, brandishing their crude weapons before the face of the warden.

CAMPBELL SEES SHANGHAI BATTLE FROM HOTEL ROOF
ALARM GIVEN
Led by Clyae Stevens, who had previously planned an unsuccessful escape, the seven men ordered him to telephone the guard tower to hand down their weapons. Jack Whalen, Larkin’s secretary, heard the commotion and telephoned the warden’s office, from which he heard, the men’s demand, as. by mere chance, the receiver had been left off its hook.
Whalen immediately called the guards and instructed them to prepare for trouble. When the convicts entered the courtyard, they were met by guards armed with clubs. From the towers, guards sent intermittent shots into the center of the fight.
Nine knives were found on the prostrate bodies of the prisoners when the rioting was ended.
Efforts to question the five survivors of the break met some difficulties, as three of them were unable to talk, and the other two, Robert Cannon and Fred Barnes, would not answer questions readily, j
