Rockefeller stands behind
decision on Attica assault
ATTICA, N.Y. (A*)—Gov. Nel
son A. Rockefeller say he still
stands behind the decision which
sent state troopers into riot-
wracked Attica prison, an assault
which cost more than two-score
lives.
“I do not see how I could have
done any differently,” Rockefeller
told a news conference in New
York on Wednesday.
Overnight, the Republican gov
ernor received renewal support
from President Nixon in the un
leashing Monday of more than
1,000 state troopers and sheriff’s
deputies behind a barrage of tear
gas from New York National
Guard helicopters.
Wearing helmets and gas
masks, the massed state forces
quelled the four-day Attica riot—
worst in an American prison in
at least a generation.
Rockefeller added that he ac
cepted “full responsibility” for
the bloody Monday death toll—
now set by the state Corrections
Department at nine hostages and
32 convicts.
A 42nd fatality had occurred
earlier. The victim was a guard,
William Quinn, 28, who died of
wounds received in the first hours
of the riot last week, when 1,200
Attica inmates rampaged through
the prison, setting fires and tak
ing hostages.
Quinn was buned during the
day on a hillside overlooking the
40-year-old maximum security
prison, which houses a total of
2,254 inmates. Sunny skies re
placed gray, rain-laden clouds
that had overhung tl?e 54-acre
prison compound for days.
Quinn’s wife, Nancy, fought
back tears as her husband’s cas
ket was lowered into the earth.
Nearby, one of her women neigh
bors said: “They got too lenient
with the inmates.”
The scheduled burial of another
guard, Richard Lewis, was de
layed after funeral director Amos
Grefrath claimed the body bore
no bullet wounds. He said a sec
ond funeral director, James F.
Smith, concurred with him and
signed a statement that “there
were no visible bullet wounds.”
Originally, eight of the Attica
hostages—guards and other pris
on employes—were said to have
been killed by convicts who slit
their throats with makeshift
knives. A ninth hostage’s death
was attributed to gunfire.
However, a medical examiner’s
report 24 hours later ascribed the
eight deaths to gunshot wounds,
and said there was no indication
of throat slashing on the bodies.
There was no immediate offi
cial explanation of the source
of the gunfire which killed the
hostages. But State Corrections
Commissioner Russell Oswald ad
mitted to newsmen that the throat
slitting reports were false, and
indicated the hostages could have
been subjected to gunfire from
state troopers.
The hostage victims repoi’tedly
had been stripped of their own
clothing and forced to don inmate
garb. Oswald said this could have
confused trooper marksmen.
And Rockefeller said that, in
the hazy confusion of tear gas
and gunfire at Cellblock D where
the rioters made their last stand,
“accidents can very well happen.”
Remaining unanswered, how
ever, were a number of questions
—how the reports of throat slit-
tings originated, the origin of
false reports that some of the
hostages were killed before the
Monday assault, and that at least
one had been castrated, and what
were the precise instructions giv
en the assault forces.
However, Hollis Chase, presi
dent of the guards union at At
tica, stuck by the original ver
sion of the slayings and declared:
“We’ve got people, our fellow
guards, who carried off the bodies
of these hostages. Their hands
and feet were bound, their throats
were slit from ear to ear.”
In an apparent effort to fur
ther clarification, the state police
called to Attica a well-known
pathologist, Dr. Henry Siegel,

m
medical examiner of Westchester
County, adjacent to New York
City.
Pathology involves the analysis
of the cause of death, and the
manner and sequence in which
it occurred.
Siegel has had 30 years expe
rience in the field, and formerly
was executive deputy chief medi
cal examiner in the prestigious
New York City office. The acting
cht examiner from the latter
office, Michael Baden, also was
summoned here.
In view of the revised infor
mation, blaming the hostage
deaths on gunfire, press secre
tary Ronald L. Ziegler was asked
in Washington if President Nixon
still stood by his backing of Rock
efeller in the Attica assault.
“Of course he does,” Ziegler
replied. “The governor had the
responsibility to deal with a very
difficult situation. He met that
responsibility ... the President’s
not going to second guess him.”
Nixon had expressed his sup
port in a telephone call to Rocke
feller Monday afternoon. Ziegler
said the two had another tele
phone conference Tuesday eve
ning, after the disclosure that
gunshot wounds killed the host
ages.
Unrest generated by the Attica
riot spread to other prisons in
New York and elsewhere.
State troopers stood emergen
cy patrol on the walls of Great
Meadows prison at Comstock,
N.Y., and Clinton state prison at
Dannemora.
At Great Meadows, where about
75 Attica rioters were transfer
red, there was a four-hour out
break of bottle-throwing and fire
setting in the so-called “radical”
wing of the prison. The outburst
was described as minor and no
injuries were reported.
In the county jail at Atlanta,
Ga., inmates threw food, broke
fixtures and lights, and plugged
and tore up plumbing. Sheriff
Leroy Stynchcombe quoted one
inmate as saying the prisoners
were going to take control of
the jail and that “Attica ain’t
seen nothing yet.”
The sheriff said he had re
jected a list of prisoner demands
which he called “silly.” Among
them were request for hair spray
and cologne, which Stynchcombe
said they could use to “get
drunk.”
