Kin killed in jail fire mourned
Hundreds gather for a funeral service for five family members who died in a weekend jailhouse fire that also killed two inmates and visitors at Maury County jail. A 17-year-old Wisconsin youth is charged with arson after allegedly setting cyanide-laced foam in a isolation cell. One visitor testified that the youth was given a lighted cigarette. The deceased include Mrs. Herman Anderson and her children Marvin and Billy Anderson and a daughter, all laid out in open caskets.
