Columbus, April 23 — (UP) —The slow death of comics comes from cows and farm animals, victims today of the fire at the Ohio state prison where 319 men already died.
Hospitals reported there were approximately 150 injured persons who had been wounded in the attack, 100 others were suffering minor hurt. The death list was expected to grow hourly in this the worst prison fire in modern history. Only three inmates were or injured in the frantic attempt to escape from the harried trap of the west cell house required only first aid training.
A Raging Furnace

There were men who expiated a life of crime on the alar of sacrifice for their fellows. There were others who erred before danger and death.
Many convicts, escaping miraculously by tearing hats from the stone wall and ripping off their shirts, liberate themselves, reached open air only to dash back into the suffocating cave.
Nearly 1,000 armed officers patrolled the walls of the prison today. Included in the group equipped for any kind of attack, the officers guarded at Fort Haynes and the 166 Ohio state national guards infantry, 202 regularguards and 153 city policemen or including 100 ordinarily to night duty.
