STATE TROOPS GUARD PRISON

Ki-
Florence, Aris., July 17.—Troopers
of the Arisona National Guard march*
ed into the state penitentiary here to-
day while convicts cheered, and pla-
ced the badly overcrowded institu-
tion under’ military control.
More than GOO convicts in the pris-
on yurd shouted approval, and a few
booed, when the khaki-clad guards-
men appeared on the wall.
The troops were armed with rifles
and tear gas guns. .'Machine guns
were mounted In the towers.
The guardsmen took over the pris-
on upon orders from Governor R. C.
Stanford after 18 convicts escaped in
little more than a month.
Fifty-five troops and officers ar-
rived here late yesterday and pitched
their tents in an oat field a short
distance in front of the prison ad-
ministration building.
Maj. Leroy Wcyrick and Capt. Wal-
ter Tweedy led a squad of guardsmen
into the prison at 2’30 p. m. and as-
signed them to positions on the wall,
relieving the handful of civil guards.
Trustees congregated in front of
the administration building as the
time approached for the penitentiary
to bo turned over to the military for-
ces. Before the guard entered, the
trusties were ordered behind the walls.
“Good luck, boys,” Wardn John G.
Eager called, as the troops marched
through the main entrance.
Eager had asked Governor Stan-
ford for help, declaring he had so few
guards available that half the 700
prisoners could walk away.
When the guard took over the pris-
on, Eager said:
“Aalf Edwards (assistant warden)
and 1 arc going home tonight and get
the first night’s sleep since June 7.
We are worn Out.”
The guardsmen chosen for duty on
the wall were selected Tor their abil-
ity as marksmen, and were under or-
ders to use their weapons in event
of attempted escapes.
Regular guards relieved from wall
duty will be
farms, where
recn sleeping
was from the
escapes occurred.
