36 NEGROES PERISHED
In a Stockade Which Was Fired By
a Convict In Attempt to Escape
One Shot to Death
Centerville Ala May 16 Thirty
six negro convicts lost their lives
early today when the stockade of the
Red Feather Coal company at Lucille
mines Bibb county fifteen miles
north of Centerville was destroyed by
fire which was set by one of the pris
oners in an effort to escape Thirty
five of the convicts were burned to
death and another was shot to death
by guards while trying to escape
A convict in trying to escape from
the stockade set it on fire and soon
the whole structure was blazing On
account of the extreme dryness the
building was rapidly consumed
The convict who set the building on
fire was burned to death and thirty
four of his followers shared a like
fate It was with much difficulty that
the remaining seventyfive convicts in
the stockade were prevented from es
escaping
AH the prisoners at the Lucille
mines are state convicts leased to the
Red Feather Coal company for the
purpose of mining coal
P W Ezzry is president of the com-
pany and J H Taylor is superintend-
ent and has active charge of the
work
The financial loss will reach several
thousand dollars
Those who were early on the scene
state that the place where once stood
the stockade presented a gruesome
appearance as the ground was cover-
ed with the baked bodies of human
beings
