"UNREST IS SEETHING IN LEAVENWORTH PEN AS RIOT IS SUBDUED," Wichita Eagle. August 3, 1929. Page 1 & 10. ---- Leaders in Mutiny Locked Up in Solitary; Guard Is Increased; U. S. Opens Inquiry ==== UNITED STATES PENITENTIARY LEAVENWORTH, Aug. 2 - (AP) - Unrest among prisoners smouldered un- der the surface here today by was held in check by stern measures of prison authorities who announced no further outbreaks were expected to follow yesterday's mutiny in which one convict was killed and three were wounded.

Leaders of the convict uprising were singled out and placed in close confinement to prevent continued agitation.

On the surface there was little evidence of the spirit of revolt which flamed yesterday, but an undercurrent of unrest pervaded the institution. A heavy guard was maintained throughout the day.

Windows Mute Evidence Broken windows in the two large cell houses flanking the main entrance were the only visible signs of the damage wrought by the rioting convicts who fought with their guards yesterday and vented their feelings by destroying prison property.

Real suffering again was experienced among the convict population from the extreme heat, which was believed to have been a factor in causing yesterday's flareup.

Built to accommodate 2,000 inmates, the prison houses more than 3,000 convicts. Prison officials expressed the belief that overcrowding was the underlying cause of the outbreak.

Up to Congress Sanford Bates, superintendent of federal prisons, said in a statement at Washington that the congestion in federal penal institutions had resulted in a grave situation.. Appropriations from congress were needed, he said, to relieve the situation and to extend prison industries so that convicts could be put to work.

Austin H. MacCormick, assistant superintendent of federal prisons, was ordered here to conduct an investigation into the mutiny. The convicts have been grumbling at the food served them and the frequency of red rice on the menu apparently touched off the spark. When prisoners from the narcotic section found rice on the tables again for the noon meal yesterday they hurled the bowls at guards and staged a demonstration.

Smash Machinery A semblance of order was restored by the day captain on duty and some of the men were sent to their cells. Others were taken to the shoe fac- tory but refused to go to work and began to smash the machinery. Guards then removed all the workers from the factory and placed them in cells.

Meanwhile a demonstration was staged in the laundry. This was overcome without much trouble, however.

The heaviest rioting occurred later when the first group of prisoners were brought into the mess hall for the evening meal. Table ware was hurled about the room and there was a general uproar, some of the convicts seizing knives and forks for weapons while others tore off legs of tables to use as clubs.

Retreat Before Guns Warden T. B. White appeared and attempted to reason with the rioters, finally succeeding with the aid of guards in getting them into the prison yard. The majority of the convicts went to their cells voluntarily. Those who refused were driven into the cell houses by guards armed with shotguns.

There was pandemonium in the two big cell houses as prisoners tore off fixtures from the cell galleries, smashed windows, pried loose bricks which they hurled at the guards and fought hand to hand with their keepers.

It was during this demonstration that the guards opened fire, killing Mike Martinez, a long term prisoner, and wounding three others. The mutiny was finally quelled late in the night.

i don't think people understand how hard it is not to ship tomarry / harrymort because what do you mean they're borderline canonically soulmates. what do you mean they're PROPHESIED to each other. what do you mean they're literal parallels, had the same childhood circumstances but turned out the exact opposite. what do you mean harry's the embodiment of the light side and tom's the embodiment of the dark even though they're so, so similar. what do you mean they both have common names even though they themselves are anything but common. what do you mean they have uncountable amount of bible references that apply strictly to them, what do you mean harry makes sure to mention tom's the handsomest in the room whenever he sees him and apparently likes their connection. what do you mean their wands share the core of the same phoenix and therefore literally can't kill each other even if they wanted to. what do you mean harry wanted to give him another chance despite everything he's done, what do you mean tom offered him his hand, what do you mean harry killed tom at the same age except the order of the numbers is reversed. what do you mean harry's eyes are the same colour as tom's favourite unforgivable (avada) AND the colour of his house, what do you mean TOM'S eyes are the colour of harry's favourite defence spell (expelliarmus) and the colour of his house. WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY ARE EACH OTHER'S OTHER HALF. WHAT DO YOU MEAN HARRY IS LITERALLY TOM'S SOUL??? 😭

NOT TO MENTION THESE THINGS AREN'T EVEN FANON LIKE...? lmk if i missed something though.

"MAY REVISE PEN POLICY," Wichita Beacon. August 5, 1929. Page 3. --- Investigators Interview Leaders in Leavenworth Riot ---- LEAVENWORTH, KAN., Aug. 5.- (UP) - Sweeping changes of policy may be the result of the investigation begun today at the federal penitentiary by investigators from the department of justice, Washington.

The investigators arrived yesterday to begin a thorough inquiry into the conditions which brought about the revolt, Thursday, in which one convict was killed and several seriously injured.

Ringleaders of the mutiny, including Hays Van Gorder, and Joe Davis, are expected to be called before the investigators today.

Van Gorder, a notorious fourth termer, is said to have led the gang which took fire hose from the guards and turned the stream on them. Six years ago, Van Gorder attempted to forge his way to freedom by presenting a pardon bearing the forged signature of the attorney general.

Three months ago, he did forge his way out on a writ bearing the forged name of a United States judge, it has been reported.

Joe Davis, also said to have been among the leaders, has been implicated in several plots to escape. David and Roy Sherill, driver of the prison physician's car, several years ago made their escape in the physician's motor car. Davis was caught after a gun battle in Topeka.

I love ORV because it is the spirit of fanfic, it is truly the essence of putting your blorbos in situations. Like Han Sooyoung may have been the author but the constellations were the true fanfic writers <3

Also makes sense why I see people have uriel as a fanfic writer in modern AU’s but like MAKE THE OTHERS FANFIC WRITERS TOO!!! COMMIT!! THEY TOO WISH TO SEE THEIR BLORBS IN SITUATIONS TOO, give me my sun wukong writing super long 100k fics instead of doing his adult job, give me ABFD writing self indulgent fanfic for himself like he deserves, give me secretive plotter writing OC x Canon fanfic which is 100% just him shipping himself with dokja.

Like clearly don’t make them fanfic writers if it doesn’t fit the plot but I want to see more constellations as fanfic writers in my life
