In Dark Cell
. Monroe, Wash. () Six in
mates of the Monroe State Re
formatory were in the isolation
of a "more or less dark cell"
Wednesday as, the outgrowth
of a new disturbance at the
trouble-torn institution.
The six, described by Supt
Paul J. Squicr as among the
ringleaders of the savage Aug.
20 riot, went on a spree of de
struction Saturday, burning
several mattresses and pillows
and ripping out some toilet
bowls.
They were among 36 prison
ers who had been kept in
"deadlock" since the riot in
which five buildings were
gutted by fire and one inmate
was killed 20 days ago.
Squier said the other 30 in
the partial isolation took no
part irt the outbreak Saturday,
but confined their activities to
shouts, cries and catcalls. He
described the incident as "min
or." By contrast. Asst. Supt. J.
L. Brady termed the week-end
disorder a "riot" and said it
was caused in part by Squier's
announcement he would be
fired.
