TWO DEATH SENTENCES
NOSE KING AND LORENZO FAIR
LEY MUST HANG.
Supreme Court Affrms Finding of the
Lower Court and Fixes May 18th
for the Execution

Jackson-The Mississippi supreme
court met according to schedule to hand
down decisions and afterwards take up
the criminal cases on hand fora rgu-
ment.
Conspicuous among the State eases
decided were two murder convictions
with death sentences accompanying,
both of which were sustained. Justice
w. C. Mclean handled the case OF Nose
King, appealed for a death sentence
from Sunfower county, stating that
there was nothing in the record that
could be considered as Justifyig the kill
ing of the woman over whom he got III
trouble Wednesday, May II, was des-
ignated as the day of execution.
Justice Smith also handed down a
death sentence case, that of Lorenzo
Farley, from Harrison county, tersely
intimating that obvious purpose OF the
appeal was to extend this mans lease
of life as long as possible, since there
was not mitigating case in the record.
The court fixes his date of execution
for May II, the case having been in the
court for months.

YOUNGEST OF ALLEN
MURDERERS CAUGHT
SIDNA AND EDWARDS SEND MES
SAGE OF DEFIANCE.
WILL DIE WITH BOOTS ON
There Was a Conspiracy to Kill Of.
fcials-Sidna Says He Killed the
Judge and Edwards Took
Life of Prosecutor.

Hillsville, Va.-Facing inevitable cap
ture and importuned by his father to
make no further resistance, Freel Allen,
youngest of the Allen outlaws, was cap
tured at the home of his father, Jack
Allen.
Freel, who is lad of 1s years, with
pink cheeks and. light of build, had
separated from the other members Of
the band who shot and killed five men
IN the local courthouse and sought
refuge at the home of his parerts- He
was traced there by detectives, who
went to the house and demanded his
surrender.
The detectives approached the house
warily, with their hands on their guns,
but they encountered no trouble. Jack
Allen admitted them to the house,
brought Freel forth and gave him into
the custody of the officers.
Young Allen was lodged in the coun,
ty Jail with the others of the outlaws
who have been captured and the de-
tectives rode back into the mountains
to continue the hunt for Sidna Allen
and Westley Edwards, the two remain
ing members of the Allen band.
Freel brought this thrilling message
from the two fugitives:
1T will be battle to the death
neither of us expect ever to see home or
family again. If the posse gets us,
they will get two dead men, and there
will be some dead detectives, too. We
have four pistols and a Winchester
pump gun and plenty of ammunition.
Sidna and Wesley are said to have
admitted to Freel that there was a
conspiracy to kill the court officials.
Sidna is quoted as saying that he
emptied his pistol three times and in
tended to kill the judge, the jury and
the whole push" Sidna was to kill
Judge Massie and Wesley to kill Prose-
cutor Foster. Other members of the
Allen family we're to shoot whoever in.
terfered, and especially Clerk Goad.
While hiding in the mountains 25
miles southwest Of here, Sidna told
Freel he had killed the judge. Wesley
said he had killed the prosecutor.
