Convict Leaders Propose Bargain End to Atlanta Riot
Convict leaders at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary agreed to end a three day uprising after a columnist for the Atlanta Journal published their grievances. Warden Sanford ordered food to be sent into the barricaded cell block as talks with journalist Morgan Blake occurred. The rebels, some described as psychnoptaic cases, surrendered after Blake mediated the open door settlement. Sanity restored as guards and 106 convicts were unharmed though under tense conditions.
