A minister met officials to complain Black Muslim literature is allowed while Klan material is barred. Two inmates were killed, a third wounded, and a fourth missing in an attempted escape as guards were injured and one guard held briefly. Police fear the missing inmate may have drowned in surrounding swamps.
