 These were the dying words of Judge Massie as he lay mortally wounded beside the bench in the Car roll county court house at Hillsville after the court had heen shot up by the Allen gang, according to Daniel Thomas, lumberman, who was the principal witness at today's session of the trial of Floyd Allen.
 Thomas was one of the two or three men who did not flee from the court room when the firing began, but re- mained to care for the injured. He says the first shot came from the vi cinity of where Sheriff Webb was standing. He heard a woman cry:
 Help me take care of my baby" and rushed to her side, protecting her from the stampeding crowd.
 He declared he then went to where Judge Massie lay and heard him name his slayer.
 Today's session, which was adjourn cd early, was devoted for the most time, to the examination of the char acter witnesses for Floyd Allen. All of them had found him respectable and honest in his business dealings.
 John W. Hammond, justice of the Sup.me Court of Massachusetts, and his son, Frank T. Hammond, an attor- ney, attended the session.

move solemnly forward on their
march to the holy temples. Sancti-

pious occasion, are followed by their
train of devoted parishioners, clothed
in bright yellow gowns and holding

of olden styles. Next in this strange
procession walk in double file men
and boys with masks over their faces
and all wearing quaint costumes of
other days donned for this especial
scene. The last squad wave ban

festival.
