JOYCE UNPOPULAR
DEMONSTRATIONS BY FELLOW PRISONERS
Rec. 9 a.m. LONDON, October 1 . Prisoners at Wormwood Scrubbi Prison demonstrated against William Joyce whenever he appeared in the exercise yard, and some threatened to get him, says the Press Association. Joyce has now been moved from Wormwood Scrubbs to Wandsworth, pending the hearing of his appeal against the death sentence. It is understood that the transfer was made following demonstrations.
Two hundred prisoners of 16 to 23 years of age in a building overlooking the exercise yard at Wormwood Scrubbs greeted Joyce with cat-calls, abuse, threats, and shouts of "Heil Hitler" were heard above the din. Threats to get Joyce were couched in violent terms.
