(By Jack llambleton, Canadian Press Staff Writer)

KINGSTON, Ont, Oct. lilo-Sil- ence hung over Portsmouth Peni- tentiary last night like a. funeral pail after the saddest day in the history of the grey old prison on the shore of Lake Ontario-a day when one-third, of the 906 prison- crs defiantly forced departure of a hastily-summoned military detach- ment by threatening to burn them- selves like rats unless the soldiers withdrew.

More than 900 yammerillg coll- victs fighting for increased tobacco rations and privileges this after- noon tumed the grey-stone pile into a bedlam and. staged the worst riot Portsmouth ever knew. They bar- ricaded the doors of the tailor shop, got workers in the mail-bag department to Join them, briefly captured and held the warden, In- spector Gilbert Smith, and capit- ulated only after reinforcements called to the prison had retired.
