MCALESTER, Okla. (AP) -
Violence erupted again Satur-
day night at the Oklahoma State
Penitentiary as a group of in-
mates roamed through the
prison hurling firebombs into
cell blocks, authorities said
The root of the rotunda in the
administration building was on
fire along with the interior of a
previously burned-out building.
As many aa a thousand of the
prisoners had rioted Friday,
burning 12 buildings. That vio-
lence left two dead and 50 in-
jured But authorities said ear-
lier Saturday that the inmates
had returned to their cells.
One of the guards said Satur-
day night that the new outbreak
was by some inmates ap-
parently looking for other in-
mates whom they considered
informers. Those inmates had
been placed in protective custo-
dy.
National Guardsmen and
prison guards were attempting
to quell the group while fire-
is,”
Hall said a new channel of
communication between the
prison administration and the
inmates will be implemented
immediately He said one of the
causes of the riot apparently
stemmed from the inmates not
being aware of recent policy
changes.
Hall would not elaborate on
the improved communication
plans.
When the hostages were re-
leased, they rushed out of the
prison gate and were met by
relatives.
"They showed the highest re-
spect for us," said Deputy War- .
dien Sam Johnston, the last hos-
tage released. “They conducted
themselves very well.”
Asked whether he had been
scared, Johnston said. "I’d be
lying if I said I wasn't scared.”
The riot — the worst in the 70-
year-old prison's history —
began Friday afternoon when
several inmates attacked two
guards

All DeHay could envision
was that Fred was stranded
somewhere, perched on the

rescued. DeHay poured out
his problems to the Arlington
Police Department and the
State Highway Patrol.

There had been no news
from Fred.
Knowing nothing else to

found a note stuck on the
winshield, penned by Fred.
It said, in effect, that when
they became separated,
Fred waited for several
minutes on the side of the
road, then got back on the
Turnpike. When he reached

Brownwood, and its en-

"characters” per capita
than any other place in the
country What an honor it is,
during this period when blue

submit a "guest column.”
This honor is enhanced by
the fact that this column
follows one contributed by
one of the al-time great

proceeded to relate an ex-
perience of recent date. It
involved himself and a new

one day last month to pick up
two new station wagons for
