Calls for Return of Death Penalty Come After Slay ings of Warden, Deputy tenced to life in prison for the mur mm tor der of Police Sgt. Frank VanColln in 1970, and Bowen was awaiting trial for the murder of Patrolman Jo PHILADELPHIA (AP) Bitter calls for the return of the death penalty have followed the slaying of the warden and deputy warden of Philadelphia's crowded Holmes burg seph D. Kelly in 1971.

"If these two men had gone to the electric chair or had been hung," said Rizzo, "they would not be around to commit two more murders. "I do not care whether it (capital punishment) is a deterrent or not They would not have been around to kill again," the mayor angrily in sisted.

Taylor followed. Taylor said he saw Burton attacking Fromhold, who was on his back on the floor.

Taylor then ran to the aid of Curran, who he said was sprawled across a sofa with Bowen stabbing him. Taylor said he grabbed Bowen, who then turned on him. Other guards then arrived, and Burton and Bowen were subdued. Burton and Bowen are under heavy guard in Philadelphia General Hospital Burton with head injuries and a blood clot in the chest, and Bowen with a broken arm, broken ribs and lacerations of the head and legs. After the incident, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Joseph O'Neill ordered a cell-by-cell inspection and a check of every one of the 1,200 prisoners.

O'Neill credited Taylor with preventing "additional carnage." Holmesburg Prison was the scene of major violence on July 4, 1970, when 82 prisoners, 34 guards and a civilian baker were injured in a disturbance traced to overcrowding and Prison, allegedly by a pair of inmates previously accused of killing policemen. "When you take away the chair, what can you do with these men?" asked Capt. Leroy Taylor, 49, who received serious stab wounds in the back when he tried to save the two prison chiefs. "This is a good case for the electric chair. We need the death penalty back," said Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo.

Warden Patrick Curran, 47, and Deputy Warden Robert Fromhold, 51, were stabbed to death Thursday, police said, by inmates Frederick Burton, 25, and Joseph "Jojo" Bowen, 27, after the prisoners were admitted to Fromhold's office to seek permission to hold more Orthodox Muslim prayer meetings. Police said a fracas began with Fromhold alone in his office with ing the status of the inmates, is believed to be the first warden in American history to be killed in his own institution. Fromhold became a correctional officer in 1952 because, as he put it at the time, "I feel I can do some Exterior Decorators Members of Troop 76 of the Salvation Army in Sayre whose Flaming Arrow Patrol won overall patrol winner at the Camporee, pose before their prize winning camp entrance.
