Shakedown Ordered At Walpole Prison After Blast
Norfolk County District Attorney Burke orders a complete shakedown at Walpole State Prison after a blast killed inmate Stanley Bond and injured William Lorenzen. Investigators found weapons in Bond and Lorenzen cells as authorities probe escape or courtroom weapon use. Bond faced murder and armed robbery charges. Lorenzen, 25, is serving 3 to 5 years for larceny. Five others indicted in a separate murder robbery case remain at large or in custody. The blast prompted heightened security and a search of foundry loft areas where the two men were working.
