Prisoners Show EHostoDity
Toward' Escape Terrorists
Monroe, Wash.-ffiPD-The en
tire inmate population of the
state reformatory here has
turned hostile toward the four
convicts who terrorized wom
en and children hostages in a
14-hour escape attempt, Supt.
Ernest C. Timpani said today.
"I believe the four should
be transferred to the state
penitentiary at Walla Walla,"
Timpani said. "We've been
getting reports all day that
the other 844 inmates of the
institution have no use for
them."
Captured by Trick
Prison guards captured the
four would-be fugitives Tues
day through a trick and a tear
gas attack. The inmates, hop
ing to force officials to let
them escape, threatened host
ages seized in the reforma
tory visitors' room with
butcher knives and huge meat
forks until guards captured
them in a two-minute tear
gas assault.
Three of the convicts re
mained under guard jn the
reformatory hospital today,
recovering from minor injur
ies suffered when guards beat
them into submission.' The
fourth, David K. Owens, 19,
was in solitary confinement.
Those in the hospital were
Richard Murray, 20; Robert
Jesmin, 23, and .Donald de
Courcey, 22.
Solitary Due
Timpani said the hospital
ized men also would go into
solitary confinment, "prob
ably in a couple of days" and
remain there until taken into
court to face whatever
charges the Snohomish coun
ty prosecutor decides upon.
Timpani said security pro
visions for the visitors room,
which the escape plotters
turned into a small prison of
their own "certainly will be
tightened up."
"We'll never let anything
like this develop again," he
said.
Two Disadvantages
The superintendent said he
agreed with Dr. Garrett
Heyns, state director of insti
tutions, that the fact the visi
tors room has ' a single en
trance and is close to the
kitchen were disadvantages
'The troublemakers knew
we had only one way to get
at them," Timpani said.
"I hope the public will re
member that it was only four
bad apples that caused all the
trouble," he said. "I'm cer
tainly happy about the way
the other 844 men behaved
throughout the problem. Pret
ty near all of them have
wives, mothers or-children of
their own, and I think they
were pulling for us."
