P), —Qrder was restored today at the Glynn county prison camp here as officials began an inquest into the bloody riot which killed six and wounded seven of a group of 27 dis gruntled Negro convicts. The mass shooting came as the climax to a sitdown strike, pleading by camp superintendent H. G, Worthy, and finally an escape attempt by the 27 rebellious prisoners.
