Prisoner Beats Police Assistant to Death

Bend, Ore., June 22 - Delmont Lawrence, 52, a police assistant here, was beaten to death in the Deschutes county jail during the night, and Mancet Wilburn Bower of Los Angeles was critically wounded by the same assailant. A man booked as Ralph Kenneth Jubb of Portland, arrested earlier on a drunkenness charge, was held for questioning about the attack. Police Chief Everett Rambo said Lawrence, a former jockey and once well known in Pacific coast racing, was killed with a heavy club. Bower, a carnival worker, was in a critical condition from throat slashes. District Attorney Bert C. Boylan said Jubb apparently struck Lawrence repeatedly for 10 minutes and then turned on Bower. Police said Jubb asserted he had no recollection of the assault.
