Mac- Leod, federal commissioner of penitentiaries, said today at a press conference. Mr. MacLeod said the body of the only person to die as a result of the riot was found in the prison hospital. He said the man was wounded by rifle fire and either was taken or walked to the prison hospital where he died. The man was not identified immediately. Mr. MacLeod, who has or- dered an inquiry into the worst riot in the big penitentiary's 80- year history, said the flare - up "obviously was planned for sev- eral weeks, and possibly months, by a small group." He said no unusual complaints had been received by peniten- tiary officials in recent weeks. Mr. MacLeod said that apart from the dead prisoner 27 oth- ers were wounded by rifle fire. Twenty - two of them, includ- ing three in critical condition, are in St. Mary's Veterans Hos- pital here. Five others are in the infirmary at the minimum- security LeClere Institute, adja- cent to the penitentiary on the hortheastern outskirts of Mont- real. Three guards were injured when beaten. by prisoners, but they are not in serious condi- tion, A total of 650 prisoners, whose cell blocks were destroyed or heavily damaged by fires that broke out Sunday in several Kspots, spent the night in the open air in 50-degree weather. They were penned behind barbed wire and guarded by Canadian army troops in steel helmets and armed with bayon- neted rifles. The rest of the 1,200 - odd prisoners slept in their own cells, untouched by the fires. About 100 troops still were on the job today guarding the pris- oners who have not eaten since noon Sunday. The penitentiary's kitchen was destroyed by fire and efforts were being made to set up a temporary kitchen. haye agreed. but the One fire in the main cell block buildings in noon today and as soon as fire- men put out the fire and the block is cleaned up the prison- ers will be marched back in, Mr. MacLeod said. The riot, which erupted dur- ing exercise period at 3:45 p.m. Sunday, left six two-storey the prison com- pound gutted by fire. Only the crumbling stone and brick walls and twisted steel bars remained of the structures which Warden Michael LeCorre valued at be- tween $2,000,000 and $3,000,000. Hundreds of shots echoed in- side the prison walls as the fires and rioting reached their peak, and sporadic firing con- tinued far into the night. Mr. LeCorre told a post-mid- night press conference that no lives were lost in the melee. Twenty-seven prisoners were injured, he said, three of them seriously, and three guards were taken to hospital with su- perficial wounds. Allen J. MacLeod, commis- sioner of federal penitentiaries, told a later press conference a three-man board of inquiry will make a full investigation of the 10-hour-riot. Mr, MacLeod, who flew to the prison from Ottawa Sunday night, said the board will com- prise three senior officers from the penitentiaries department-- one from Ottawa, one from St. Vincent de Paul and the third from another Canadian peniten- tiary. All guards and prison offi- cials, as well as the prisoners involved, would be interviewed. There was no immediate in- dication of who the ringleaders were, Some 140 of the prisoners were serving life sentences. The commissioner said nine of the buildings suffered heavy damage, among them the Ro- man Catholic chapel, the kitchen and all the work build- ings. Prisoners would have to be occupied with outdoor activity until the facilities could be re- stored. ; Ambulances s hut tle@& back and forth continually between Montreal hospitals and St. Vin- cent de Paul, a community op- posite Montreal Island on the north shore of Riviere des Prai- was still burning just before ries, 27 HURT, ONE DEAD IN PRISON RIOTING ] been playing on the beach also} The bodies were F me own |flight engineers haye- not. jafter dark tonight--about dawn\ police statoin were ripped off.
