head here when it was learned that
three automatic pistols and 66
rounds of ammunition had been

convict, whose name is guarded
closely to protect his life. The find
has been kept a secret, pending
a searching investigation. Only one
gun. smuggled into the penitentiary,'
brought about the Thanksgiving
Day horror in which 11 convicts
and two guards were killed and
for which five* of the perpetrators
were later hanged.
The keg of nails in which the
arms and amunition were found
had been standing open for nearly
a week on the porch of the old ad
ministration building, which is be
ing converted into guards head
quarters. About 50 convicts were,
working on the building when one
of them accidentally knocked over
the keg of nails. Out rolled the
three .45-caliber automatics, each
contained a loaded clip, a shell in
the chamber, and two extra clips |
of cartridges tied to its trigger!

find to the guard at once.
