Warden Moyer is unreachable for comment as Hawthorne and Morton are released and head toward New York, with mixed reactions from a prison volunteer defending staff.

Indianapolis October 15 Special Warden Moyer asked the attorney general to direct a searching investigation into conditions at the Atlanta penitentiary after the Hawthorne Morton charges. He refused to deny the charges, noting official records show 19 cents a day fed a prisoner and claiming prison records can withstand scrutiny. He asserted most of the 800 inmates would deny the charges and denied recollection of riots over food or related issues.
