Lecture Administered Th0ughtIess
Lookeron for Putting Weapons in
Reach of Prisoner. as :;

Wythevile. Va, May 9.-Floyd Al
len. patriarch of the Allen gang, will
take the stand in his own defense,
according to plans formulated by his
counsel today. This was practically
the only hint given by his attorneys
as to the course Of their fight to save
Allen from the electric chair for his
part in the Hillsvillc murders.
The defense has apparently recov-
cred his spirits since the prosecution
closed it's damaging arraignment of
facts against him. The exceeding
care with which detectives guard him
was instanccd in an episode at the
court today. \ spectator who sat
just behind the prisoner took Il large
jack knife from his pocket and during
Il lul| = proceedings tinkered with il
ncrvousr... Floyd Allen apparently
paid no attention to it. but one of the
detectives quietly reached over and
took the knife After recess the spec
tator was given his Knife again with
Il stern lecture about putting weapons
in reach Of the prisoner.
The defense occupied nearly the en-
tir" day in producing character wit
ncsScs for Floyd Allen and his kins-
men. The "ist Of all that given by
half a dozen witucsscr was that the
Aliens were thrifty and well-to-do.

prove that Floyd Allen wore steel

Hartford, Conn, May 9.-Believing
that woman, whose body, clad only
in chemise, recovered from the Con-
necticut river ut Heckanum. was mur-
dered at some point in Massachu-
sets, the police are trying to estab-

cess. The head and body are batter
ed as though struck repeatedly with
a blunt instrument. In life the wo-
man weighed from $50 to 100 pounds.
It is believed her identity will be
easy to discover as every tooth was
gold-flled or capped with gold. There
are no distinguishing marks on the
body, which had been in the water
