\nU.S.Attorney General William French Smithsaid the killings underscore the need for a Federaldeath penalty.  \nSince they have been behind bars,the suspectshave been convicted of killing four other inmatesand sentenced to life in prison at the U.S.Peniten-tiary at Marion,the nation's toughest,according toNorman Carlson,director of the U.S.Bureau ofPrisons.  \n\"These inmates were already serving life sen-tences in the disciplinary section of the most maxi-mum security prison in the country,\"he said.\"They knew there was nothing else the FederalPrison System could do to them.They knew theyhad nothing to lose.”  \nA prison official who asked not to be identi-fied was quoted by the Chicago Tribune on Oct.30as saying that the two suspects apparently “killedfor sport to prove one was badder than the other.”He said they have shown no remorse for the slay-ings.  \nThe inmates belong to the“Aryan Brother-hood,\"a loosely organized white supremacist gang  \nIN THIS ISSUE一  \nMARION PEN

at Marion had been black,theofficial said.  \nCarlson said the first stabbing was on Oct.22,as Merle Eugene Clutts and other officers wereescorting an inmate from the showers to his cell.The inmate reportedly pulled an 18-inch knifemade from a sharpened bed spring,pinned the 51-year-old Clutts against a wall and stabbed him inthe chest until he was dead.  \nTen hours later,as correctional officer Robert  \nL.Hoffman and other guards were escorting anotherprisoner to his cell from a recreational area,theprisoner pulled a handmade knife and started swing-ing.  \nHoffman,53,was stabbed to death and JerryPowles,35,and Robert Ditterline,30,were hospi-talized.  \nClutts and Hoffman were the second and thirdguards to be killed at Marion since it opened in 1963,Carlson said.  \nAttorney General Smith said the killings pointto a need for a Federal death penalty,abolished bythe Supreme Court in 1972.  \n“The lack of a constitutional death penalty forFederal prisoners who murder while
