TO DEATH ROLL Of

to the roll of dead, bringing the to-

spirited out of town yesterday
and are now on their way to Pu-

may be taken to Roanoke for safe
keeping.
Ten detectives went along to
guard the prisoners.
There has been fears from the
first that an attempt would be made
to rescue Floyd Allen. and a heavy
guard has been kept over him Now
that he is safely out of the way
the detectives will give themselves
over TO the hunt for the missing
members Of the elan Cahell Strick-
land held as a witness, and John f.
Moore charged with aiding the AL

One report yesterday was that the
Aliens and perhaps twenty of their
clansmen had been located at the
DEVILS Den in one of the widest
regions of the Blue Ridge noun
tains near the Virginia-North Caro-
