Its explosion was a signal to other convicts and the riot was on. McTavieh, in the northeast tower, fired at Hertel and the convict took cover. Deathridge then was shot down when he made his break for liberty. Hertel, regarded as the leader of the attempted break, is serving a sentence for assault with a deadly weapon. He recently tried to escape by digging the plaster from the wall of his cell with a needle, and has heen kept in solitary confinement many times. Deathridge was armed with a pistol, which ke was prevented from using on the deputy warden because of convicts grouped closely about him during their parley. The other rioters carried long prison-made knives. Glles’ coolness in refusing the prisoners' demand that he produce the warden and that he order the guards off the walls into the prison yard was regarded as having thwarted the mutiny. MRS.

It is known definitely that the Justice investigators have collected what they regard as convincing evidence of police brutality in precincts other than the first. The more than two-score com- plaints under investigation name police- men in nearly every precinct. In their investigation of each case Federal :uthorities are questioning not only officers specifically charged with mistreatmet of prisoners, but their commanding officers as well.

Neither official would discuss the nature of their conference. The first group of indicted policemen will be arraigned in the District Su- preme Court Friday morning. All are under bond of $1.000 each, on charges of assault—either simple or felonious. Bride Studies Plan. Plans of the District Commissioners to create a special civilian board tn pass upon the grand jury report recom- mending the reinstatement cf former Policeman Orville Staples and the pun- | ishment of police officers responsibls for his dismissal, were held in abe ance today while Corporation Counsel Bride began a study of the legal and acturarial problems involved in the ap- pointment of such an extraordinary | group. Mr. Bride was instructed by the Com- missioners to determim® the Iegal &cope of the power of the proposad civiiian board, and whether those selected to serve could be compensated out of a special appropriation allotted for emer- urposes. Until Mr. Bride reports on these two questions. the Commissioners. it was said, will not take any further steps to create the board, which, according to thelr previous announcement. would be directed to consider and act on the grand jury's recommendations. Await Plans of Officers. ‘The Commissioners also deciared they wers reluctant to go ahead with their original plans until there are further developments in the announced plans of Inspector Louls J. Stoll and Police- man Joseph H. Hunt of the second precinct, both of whon were attacked in the grand jury report—Hunt directly and Stoll indirectly. The removal of Hunt for the part he is alleged to have played in the Staples case was recommended by the grand jury. which also _urged a severe repri- mand for all officers involved in the investigation of the case. Inspector Btoll supervised the inquiry which led to the dirmiseal of Staples. Albert W. Jacobson, attorney for Hunt, has demanded an immediate trial for his client. before a regularly con- stituted trial board, but there has been no_indication from the Commissioners if thie i3 to be granted.

How- ever, the two other ?ham of the grand Jury report— dismissal of Hunt and the reprimanding of the officers in- volved in the Staples case—are still & source of grava concern at the Distriet Building, but the Commissioners de- clare they are not going to be “stamp2ded” into action.
