ted murderer who escaped from the Bibb
county Jail several months ago, and who
has been at liberty ever since, now stands
charged with a more horrible crime than
the cold blooded murder of Charley Carr
whom he shot and killed eighteen months,
and friends and relatives who have har-
bored and protected him since his es-
cape, are now avowed enemies seeking
his blood.
Aliens second crime is the ruin of his
neice, his uncle's daughter, who lived
with her parents at their home in Jones
county where Allen has been since his
escape. The facts in the case were re-
ported to officials here last Monday by
the girls father, who confesses to haV-
ing harbored Allen since his escape from
jail. The officers kept the affair quiet in
the hope of catching Allen, whom it is
believed will now attempt to leave the
state. Allen is a desperate man and goes
heavily armed. He was under sentence
of death when he escaped with several
others from the iail

LONDON, Aug. 26-The Paris corre-
spondent of the Times quotes an article
from the Temps on the Waller case and
the incident of the refusal Of the Castinet's
commander to salute the garrison at Tam

action, did not prevent America in 1887
from asking for the exequator of Consul
Campbell. through the French resident,
and from demanding an indemnity. also
through the resident, for the owners of an
American ship pillaged on the coast. The
Temps also asserts that the Castinet's Of
ficers, disregarding the port regulations,
went ashore before the harbor master
had examined the vessels papers. The
scufle which occurred on the wharf be-
tween the Castinet's officers and the French
harbor officials has been detailed in pre-
vious dispatches.
