A fire at the Ohio State penitentiary, Columbus, Ohio, USA, kills 320 inmates, some of whom burn to death when they are not unlocked from their cells. It is perhaps the worst prison disaster in American history. Just three days later Charlotte And Bob Miller release the first of four recordings of their song Ohio Prison Fire on in the USA. Versions of the song will appear on Okeh Records, Grey Gull, VanDyke, Radiex and Champion, with the performers assuming different names, including Carlotte And Bob Miller, Miller And Milleand, B And C Barnes.
