G. Men nen Williams and prison offic ials before surrendering Thurs day. But the governor said the guarantee applied only in the strict sense of disciplinary meas ures within the prison walls and under the prison code. Can't Set Aside Laws lie agreed with Millard that "nobody . . . could assure these convicts that they would not be prosecuted under the laws of Michigan for any unlawful act committed during the riots at Jackson.
