(LTD Two re formatory inmates died Fri day night and 34 others who drank a duplicator fluid con taining deadly wood alcohol were hospitalized Saturday. Doctors at two hospitals where the reformatory in mates were taken from Buena Vista said wood alcohol, a central nervous system poison with no known specific anti dote, has a delayed effect. They said, the inmates would not be out of danger for 72 hours. Carlton Corley, 20, of Hous eton, Tex., died at the Rio Grande hospital here at 11 p.m. Conrad Johnson, 20, Col orado Springs died soon after. Gilbert Vigil, 23, of Denver, had been in critical condition, but early yesterday was im proving. The Rio Grande hos pital said his condition was "fair". ' Not Sure Warden Wayne K. Patter son said at Buena Vista, 26 miles north of Salida, that he was not sure all the hospital ized young men had drunk the duplicator fluid." He sent everyone he thought might have done so either to Salida or the Colorado Penitentiary hospital at Canon City. The first inmates were taken viol ently ill about 2 pan. Friday. "We can't figure out why they drank it, how they got hold of it, or how much they drank," warden Patterson said. "We only hope that we got everybody who had any of it to the hospital." "I'm sure this was no sort of demonstration or attempt to cause trouble," Patterson said. "They just wanted to drink something, though you'd think they would show more intelligence. "We've sure had a lot of bad luck here," the warden said. "I hope this is the last of it." Last year during a short lived riot at the reformatory a guard shot an inmate dead. The inmate was clubbing an unarmed guard. "TIME DISCLOSETH ALL THINGS" (Author's Name Below) The past ten years have revealed the answers to formerly unsolvable medi cal problems.
