Rebel Convicls
Soak Hostages
In Gasoline
Walpole, Mass. -&PD- State
Troopers firing machine guns
stormed a building at Walpole
State Prison yesterday and
saved seven gasoline-drenched
and bound hostages, including
the warden and chaplain, who
were held by six rebel con
victs. 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.
