Revolt By Tennessee Cons Ends Peacefully
PETROS. Tenn UPI — A revolt by 135 coal-mining convicts armed with dynamite ended peaceful yesterday when the state promised to study their grievances. The convicts, holed up up in a mountainous mine shaft since early Wednesday, released three hostages unharmed and returned quietly to their cells at nearby Brushy Alountain State Prison. The 12-hour revolt ended shortly after midnight. “1 don’t expect to take any disciplinary action at all. 1 expect to be very tolerant of what they have to say.” State Corrections Commissioner Harry Avery said after negotiating an end to the uprising. The major grievance was over a two-page length limit on letters received by prisoners. Avery promised to study the complaint. but noted that the prison did not have enough personnel to censor letters which in the past contained as many as 17 pages. Avery, who rushed to this East Tennessee area from Nashville. conferred first over an intercom circuit into the three-quarter-mile-deep mine shaft. Later, he met with a delegation of four prisoners who emerged to work out a written agreement. Roy Thompson, one of three mine foremen held hostage, said he and the others were “treated all right, just fine.
They didn't threaten us no way, but they had dynamite.” The revolt by the 81 wluta and 54 Negro prisoners was tha second at the prison in fiva years. In 1959, about 100 prisoners holed themselves up in a mine and threatened to blow up the shaft. The men. complaining then about food and pay, were starved out after two days. Four hostages they held were not hurt. PriM mers at the mine are paid 25 cents for each ton mined over a set quota. Coal is sold to state institutions. The medium security prison has about 800 inmates. Any convict who is not a. maximum security risk can be assigned to the nunes if in good health. Weather Partly Cloudy Partly cloudy and colder today.
