The Daily Missoulian, Friday, February 12, 1960 Alton Is Convicted of Murder DEER LODGE (AP) Convict George E. Alton Wednesday night was convicted of second-degree murder in connection with the rifle slaying last April of Deputy WardTed Rothe at Montaha Prison. The verdict by a jury of eight men and four women came shortly before midnight. They had deliberated the case for more than hours. The 25-year old Alton was charged with first-degree murder.

Rothe was shot fatally at the outset of a 36-hour convict rebellion April 17. The jury left punishment to be fixed by the court. Judge Sid G. Stewart then set sentencing for next. Thursday.

The trial got under way Feb. 1. Alton's general defense was that he was forced by two ringleaders, Jerry Myles and Lee Smart, to take part in the uprising. The state claimed he was one of a group which planned the disturbance that resulted in Rothe's death, and later those of Smart and Myles. National Guardsmen and other officers found the bodies of the two when they stormed the prison to break the revolt.
