HlLI>SNILlE. VA, March H.
Hflisvills wac as quiet as the proven
bal country town today. except for
the fact that many persons came In
ell manner of coEveyances from the
surrounding country to look over the
scs;aax of th-. " eek g tragedy The
shooting continues to be the sole topic
OF conversation.
Even the village pastor referred to
It when he preached In favor Of capital
punishment at all times. Those az
quainted with the mountainous region
to which the desperadoes have fed
are unanimous In the assertion that
the Allen men are concealed behind
the great boulders of Devils Den.
Their position Is believed to be inn
pregnable.
Jack Allen, one OF the Immediate
Allen family said tonight there would
be no surrender by his friends, and
Tat 1t would undoubtedly be fight
To the death.
Clerk Goad Is Out.
Clerk Goad. the court clerk, with hts
head baudaged, was able to appear
and was out today for short walk
He was surrounded at all times by
many persons anxious for more details
of the affair.
Part OF the posse that left this
morning returned late tonight, they re-
ported that William Edwards a
nephew of the Aliens who is separated
from the main body OF desperadoes,
is making his way higher and higher
into the Businesses of the Blue Ridge
mountains.
To one OF the guards here last night
Floyd gave the only statement that
he has made regarding his reasons for
shooting and killing Judge Massie-
Claims Self Defense.
II shot in self defense, and I had a
right to shoot. When the judge start
ed to sentence me | said: Boys l won t
be taken and then / fumbled in my
coat pocket for some papers I wanted
to find. My friends thought was
getting my gun to shoot. and so they
began to shoot, and then l did too"
Floyd Aliens wife. who was and
still is, at the Allen farm. seven miles
away. did not visit her husband while
, he was incarcerated here.
Persons who know Sidney Allen, In :
timately state that he has declared
that he win commit suicide sooner
or later.
| An attorney of law here made this
! interesting statement today:
''If the Aliens want lawyers to de-
| fend them. they will have to go out
! side of this county and get them. The
| lawyers of Carroll county have decided
that none of them will take the case
II hope the trial will be a long time
! delayed. for Floyd Allen said he would
! not go to jail. and I like to think OF
him in Jail when he said he would

the Edwards boys were freed. They
had sworn out a warrant charging
perjury, claiming the deputies did
not tell the truth about the matter
when they testified before the grand
jury.
Judge AIassie severely arraigned
the men. He spoke plainly and TO
the point about the Aliens taking ihs
prisoners away from the deputies.
then having them arrested for telling
the truth. This was resented by the
brothers. and II might have been this
score against the judge that caused
them 10 also shoot him.
Although except for horsemen GAL

Hillsville 10 as quiet as on almost any
court day. the detectives thought best
TO get the prisoners away. 1t Ia
said this was done as much to pre-
vent any trouble or attempt at Jail
delivery as to head off lynching.
There would not have been a lynch
ing. There is no mad excitement.
The killing has brought about n
stupor. Men seem hardly to realize
the enormity of the crime Used to
hloodshed. men who came into town
from the mountains today seemed
more astonished Ut the deadlipess of
the working Of taking the Aliens than
appalled, at the crime. II is the con-
census of opinion here that when
tried the Aliens will be sentenced IL

have them escape we'll merited pun
