BIBB's NOTORIOUS MURDER.
The Allen Case Is Now Before the
Highest Tribunal of the Land.

The Allen Case Is Now Before the
Highest Tribunal of the Land.
Washington, Jan. 19-Attorney General
J. NJ. Terrell has been here for several
days with the expectation of arguing the
Thomas Allen case before the supreme
court. To-day he consulted with the OPP
posing counsel, w. C. Glenn of Atlanta,
and an agreement was reached by which
the case was submitted upon printed ar
guments. The case would not be reached
for several weeks under the call, hence
the attorney general concluded to submit
the case.
1t viii be remembered that Thomas AL
len was convicted of murder in the supe-
rior court of Bib county. After convic-
ton and sentenced to death, he made
motion for a new trial. In the meantime
he escaped from jail and was a fugitive
from justice. He was subsequently re-
captured and resentenced by the judge pre-
siding in Bib county.
Before the execution of the sentence, AL
len made application to the supreme court
of the United States for a writ of error
on the grounds that the dismissal of the
writ of error by the supreme court of
Georgia was in violation of the constitu-
ton of the United States, in that such dis
missal was denial of due process of law
to Allen.
The attorney general was assisted in the
case by John r. Cooper of Macon who
was admitted to-day to practice before the
supreme court. The case would not have
been reached for argument this week, con-
sequenuy the attorney general felt justi-
fled in submitting 1t on printed briefs
The proposition was entirely satisfactory
to Mr.. Glenn. The attorney general left
for home tonight.
