(»—Earl i | co-leader of the costly and bloody April mutiny at Southern Michigan | Prison, may end up today in the |State Hospital for the Criminal | Insane at Ionia. Ward, apparently going berserk, | attempted to wreck his cell in the | Livingston County Jail here Mon- day. He shouted and cursed at times, incoherently. | The hub-bub he created among | other prisoners and the damage he did prompted Sheriff Loren Bassett to demand of State Corrections ;Commision Earnest Brooks that Ward be moved. Brooks replied he | would ask the Ionia hospital to take Ward today. Brooks said at Lansing he wasn’t certain Ward had “completely lost his balance wheel” or whether he | was “just putting on an act.” Ward was listed as a psychopathic case at Southern Michigan Prison. | Ward was transferred to the county jail shortly after the 5-day mutiny ended at the big prison at nearby Jackson. Authorities said | they overheard him and his co- jleader, “Crazy Jack” Hyatt, and | another convict exhorting fellow prisoners to stage a new uprising. | Ward and Hyatt both are long- | term armed robbery convicts. The mutiny they led and a subsequent general riot resulted in one con- | vict's being killed, nine wounded, four state troopers hurt, six con- victs being beaten up by their mutineer pals, and an estimated | 1% million dollar damage to the prison, Death Penalty Is Demanded | CAIRO, Egypt “» — Egypt's gov- ernment is demanding the death | penalty for Socialist Leader Ahmed Hussein and five cohorts who go jon trial Sunday charged sparking the bloody Jan. 26 Cairo | torch riots.
