The six guards still were among the barricaded convicts today but were believed to be alive The fighting convicts were believed to have started the break in an effort to swarm out of the old cell house and escape through an unwalled side of the prison area. Warden Court Smith, who was trapped in his office when the sieze began. his retreat cut off by snipers among the convict horde. took command of the situation by tele- phone and moved all available guards to the unwalled portion of the prison. All available policemen from Sacra- mento. 25 miles distant, were called and National Guardsmen were rushed to the scene. Attackers Repulsed. Late in the afternoon, armed officers attacked the beleaguered convicts, but were repulsed when one of their num- AY DOWN ARMS ber was wounded.

GUARDS FACED DEATH. Says Convicts Planned to Slay Hostages If Attacked. SAN FRANCISCO, November 25 (#).—The Examiner today quoted Dr. T. W. Day, physician at Folsom prison, as saving the besieged con- victs there had threatened to kill the six guards whom they were holding a8 hostages unless firing on their cell- house stopped. The threat, which Dr. Day brought out of the cell liouse after having en- tered it to attend the dving and wonnd ed convicts, was said to have made an impression on the mobilized forces which were considering measures for tislodging the convicts. Fear that the six guards would be put to death in the event of an attack, the Examiner said, caused officials at the scene to delay plans for advancing again. Dr. Day was the only prison offi cial who able to moye throngh the grounds without fear of being mowed down by bullets from the guns held by the convicts. He was ad mitted to the cell house without ques- tion and allowed to return tosthe ad ministration building in safety. He brought no word of how well armed the convicts were. Although the number of guns and amount of ammunition held by the prisoners remained a matter of ques tion, Warden Court Smith was quoted as saying he believed there were but five pistols in their hands. These he believes were smuggled in by | “‘trusties.” The Examiner also published a statement under the name of Gen. E. Mittelstaedt, commander of the National Guard, saving two airplanes would circle over the cell house and rake it with machine gun fire at the first sign of an outbreak. — Life insurance statistics show that the suicide rate from 1909 to 1924 has steadily decreased for persons of all ages.
