SANTA FE, N.M.—What seems
certain to become the bloodiest pris
on riot in American history began
with a handful of prisoners drinking
contraband liquor in the recreation
room of Dormitory E.
Two guards, making their 1:30
a.m. check, tried to break up the
party early Saturday. They never
had a chance.
They were quickly taken hostage
and the rebel prisoners were on their
way to the administrative building
where they threw the master switch
es, unlocking entire cellblocks in the

SAFEWAY and a little bit more
overcrowded prison that held 1,136
inmates.
Within 30 minutes,, about 250 of
those inmates had seized control of
the New Mexico State Penitentiary,
taken 14 guards hostage and begun
their 36-hour war of racial violence
and revenge against “snitches.”
Inmates were hacked apart with
homemade knives, tortured with
blow torches, castrated and raped.
“When this thing started people
just turned into animals,” said one
inmate who told of being bound and
raped by 10 prisoners. “I’m lucky to
be here.”
By early Tuesday the bodies of 35
men — all inmates and most of them
Mexican-American — had been rec
overed and another 15 inmates were
missing. Officials said they expected
to find more bodies in the still smol
dering buildings, and this riot could
surpass the bloody record of 43 killed
in the Attica, N.Y., riot in 1971.
Buildings were set ablaze, with
many of the prisoners dying of smoke
inhalation. Damage to the facility
was estimated as high as $40 million.
Once they had taken over the pris
on, the inmates’ team of negotiators
demanded an end to overcrowding,
better food and more visiting pri
vileges.
But the rebels were more con
cerned with revenge than reform.
They rifled administrative files to
find where the informants — the de
spised “snitches” — were housed.
A “death squad” armed with
homemade knives, clubs and a blow
torch went from cell to cell, maim
ing, killing and raping, surviving in
mates said.
Authorities said they could not
confirm there was a “death squad.”
They said while some of the atroci
ties were for revenge, others were
racially motivated.
The rebels’ fury was fed by drugs
from the prison infirmary, where
they gobbled down incredible mix
tures of tranquilizers, sleeping pills
and insulin — anything they thought
would get them high. Some inmates
also sniffed solvents and glue from
the prison’s industrial facilities.
Seven of the deaths were attri
buted to self-administered drug
overdoses, and prison officials say
the violence was heightened by
drug-crazed inmates.
Prison officials reported some of
the dead had their eyes gouged out,
their sexual organs removed and
their arms and legs severed.
On Monday, as the surviving pris
oners huddled in the 20 degree cold,
separated in groups of 50-60, a small
flock of buzzards hovered in the skies
above the smoky stench emanating
from the prison, v
Denver gold
probably safe
atop Capitol
United Press International
DENVER — Thousands of dollars
worth of gold lies atop the Colorado
State Capitol, but officials aren’t
worried about thieves.
They say even with the soaring
cost of gold it would take a thief with
acrobatic skills of a monkey and
brains of a gnat to try to chip a for
tune off the statehouse roof.
“There’s only one way to get to the
roof and it’s constantly guarded,”
said Hugh Fowler, a Republican
state senator.
Fowler said it would be an impos
sible task for someone to try to re
trieve the gold. He said natural ele
ments have taken their toll and muclni
of the gold “is probably all over the
Capitol Hill neighborhood.”
The impressive dome, which sits
272 feet above the ground, was firs tz
covered with 24 carat gold in 190 S
when the Colorado Mining Associa
tion donated 200 ounces of the mate —
rial to adorn the structure.
In 1950, another 50 ounces were
donated for repair and refurbishing .
Legislators have appropriated fund s
for a similar job later this year. It A 2
no cheap task these days with tlx ^
price of gold now about $700 xar
ounce.
Fowler said if anybody was wil H.
ing to work for about 10 cents a_Ti
hour, they might scour some goL •«
out of the gutter, but it could hardA
be worth anyone’s time.
Lee White, director of the Color^3«
do Department of Administratioin
which is charged with overseeing tlm-
capitol and other state building-r^
said when the new gold is applies
later this year, the most expensiv-^—
cost to the state will not be the metx
but the labor to put up the scaffolc=
ing and the actual application of tl—^
gold. The gold to be applied will 1—=z
.004 inches thick. Only 40 ounces:
will be used.
“Probably very little gold is ev<=
up there now,” White said,
have had guys on bosun’s chairs r
spect it, and it is very heavily pitte-
It’s almost all gone in very man
places.”
