The mutineers, desperate men who said they didn't care whether they lived or died, threatened to turn the hos tages into human torches after they had failed in an attempt to escape over the wall. The prisoners had seized the hostages after a quick-thinking guard thwarted their es cape and risked injury by toppling a ladder they had set up against a wall. The guard, being held as a hostage, was on the ladder and he pulled it down with him when he jumped. Some fifty state policemen ringed the prison machine shop, where the hostages were held, and on a silent .signal about 25 of them leaped through windows, grabbing prisoners and. machine gun ning down the door so that other troopers could enter. The mutineers had poured gasoline over . the hostages who included the Catholic chaplain, the Rev. Edward F. Hartigan, Warden John A. Gavin, two deputy wardens, two guards and a prison store keeper. The hostages' hands were bound with wire and a wire noose was fitted tightly around their necks. Gasoline had been poured over their heads, down their backs and into their pockets. Warden Gavin was burned on the neck from the gasoline. Martin F. Feeney, 43, of Boston, seven - time escapee, was the ringleader of the rebels who bargained for their freedom right up to the time of the police assault. 3SL If they gave away medals for it. this would be the most decorated man CINEMASCOPE Produced b D'rtdedbf CHARLES BRACKET!"-HENRY LEVIN ADDED ADVENTURE THRILLER MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, March 8, 1939 13 Legislative Hopper Contains 1,152 Bills Salem (LTD The Oregon Legislature wound up its eighth week here Friday with a total of 1,152 bills in the hopper of which 447 have been introduced in the Sen ate and 705 in the House.
