Meanwhile 33 other white prison- ers and several Mexican trustees had been driven to the opposite end of the room, where they were foreed powerless to help their | shrieking companions. Guards with drawn pistols stood | outside the battered door to prevent a wholesale escape, while the burn- ing convicts rolled in the dirt and | grass. Near Mutiny Caused The flames which threatened a dormitory nearby, in which 180 Mexican conviets were quartered, caused near-mutiny until & bucket brigade brought the fire under con- trol within the dining room. The dead were Floyd Pinson and William Key, and those near death are Jesse Daily, Henry Rivieres, "I, Mcreer and W. B. Hale. The fire started, it was sald, when the match used by a prisoner 1o light a forbidden cigarette, broke and fell into the film container.
