CONVICTS NAME GUARDS KILLERS |
One Says He Saw Prison Aid Turn On Heat That Brought ‘Deaths.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 31 (U. P). =A coroner's inquest . was opened
today to’ fix responsibility for the
heat deaths of four convicts in the punishment cells at -the - County Prison.
Convicts who survived the roasting were expected to testify that
they prayed on their knees to]
guards to turn ‘off the steam heat or shoot them and end their agony; that ‘they had cried for their mothers -and - wives; - clawed and chewed their own flesh, finally dropped, overcome by .the stench and the steam heat, “Three convicts gave a preliminary account of the tortures yesterday in Magistrate Nathan Biefel’s eourt, where two guards, - charged with murder, were arraigned. Coroner Charles H. Hersch said that the charges against the two guards, Alfred W. Brough and Francis Smith, were only the be-
ginning, and that by the time the |
inquest was, over he ‘expected to | have “six or eight’ persons under | arfest, including a prison’ “official.” Magistrate Biefel ruled that a |
*prima facie case of homicide” al- |
ready had been proved against the two guards, whom he ordered held | without bail. Their lawyer forced | yesterday's hearing by refusing to | waive it when their case was called.
Convicts Tell Story
The three who testified were Patrick Di Marco, Morris Spatz and Joseph Forte. “The latter two were the only survivors in their cells, in which the guards had crowded six men. Each watched two cellmates die after three days and nights of broiling heat from the radiators that lined the narrow corridor outside the cells where 25 men had been placed as punishment for a hunger strike. Spatz pointed at the ‘two guards and said they were the ones who had turned on ‘the ‘heat. Defense Attorney John T. Murphy Jr., asked him how he knew it. “1 saw them,” Spasz replied.

ning to camp with a handful of them saying something that one of the squaws who speaks both Indian and English said was: “Ta Ku He?” Mrs. Pauline Red Tomahawk, the interpreter, said she wasn’t sure how it was spelled but that it meant, “What are these?” Clarence Cordry, American manager of the troupe, wasn’t there at the moment, and, since the Indians never before had seen buckeyes, they speculated on their edibility.
Saved but Still Puzzled
But Mr. Cordry caught them in time and told them in English that eating buckeyes would only give them buckeyeitis. There still was some confusion because there apparently is no word for “buckeyeitis” in Indian. That was Saturday. Today the buckeyes are threaded together and hang on a tree near the tepee village and the Indians keep close watch on them. Mr. Cordry says he doesn’t know defi- | nitely what the Indians are plan- | ning to do with them because they

Comes Upon Tricycle
Miss Sarah Quick Bear, 2, also
| had come upon something inter- ! esting. It was a tricycle, and Mr. Cordry said it appeared to.him that it was an awfully modern thing for an Indian her age to be fooling around with. She stood in front of it: and grasped the handlebars, and stood there. No one, not even a, sevenday bike rider, could have man-

Miss Sardh Quick Bon 2 Deeply Impressed by Tricycle
Among those waiting patiently for the opening of the Indiana State Fair Saturday is a band of Sioux Indians, encamped unemotionally .in tepees on the grounds and considering the gadget possibilities of buckeyes. Mr. Good Elk, 43, found the buckeyes soon after. they stopped their trucks on the camping grounds and put up the tepees. He came run-

aged the thing: in ‘the ‘gravelled and rutted camping grounds. anyway. Mr. Cordry, who has had: Indians on tour for years, said he believed that the Indians: got as much- kick out of seeing whi people got out of - -seeing Indians.
Resent Kettle Probers
“It seems hard for them to believe,” he said, “that there are so many white people in the country.” He said: the: only thing ‘the Indians seem - to resent is visitors peering into their camp- fire utensils to see what they are cooking. Apparently, he said, people’ expect to see arrow-killed small game taken, like as not, in the- dark of the moon on some ancient. Indian trail that now-has stop and go signs on it. What they're cooking, he said, is generally butcher-beef, fixed in a stew. Indians don’t care for parties who watch them eat, either, he said. :
