torney, w. M. Foster. The verdict
brought a demonstration from the
SPECTATORS, q large portion OF whom
were women. At the request of coun-
sci for the state the other indictments
against him were dismissed. Allen,
who was surrounded by his wife and
four children, was much affected when
the verdict was given. and, as he shook
hands with the jurors, tears coursed
down his cheeks. The acquittal OF
Victor Allen brought to a close, for the
present OF least, the trials Of the MEM
bers of the Allen clan for the murders
at Hillsville, where the presiding judge,
the sheriff, the commonwealth's attor-
ney, a Juror and a witness met death
at the hands OF the Allen clan. .,..
There has been a considerable stir
throughout North Carolina during the
past few days on account OF the killing
of Isaac william Rand, by hazers at
the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill last Friday. The coroner's
inquest at Chapel Hill Saturday after
noon, resulted in holding A. F. Styron,
of Wilmington, w. c. Merrimon, Will
mington; A: C. Hatch, Mount Olive
and r. w. Oldham, of Raleigh. The
evidence brought out was that Rand
was forced by the sophomores to sing
and dance on a barrel and that while
performing the ludicrous part he was
either thrown by the barrel being
kicked from under him or he fell. A
piece of broken bottle pierced his neck
severing the jugular vein and carotid
artery. Two freshmen fed, but two
others and Rand's roommate. also the
victim of the prank, remained and
called for help. Rand died in ten min
utes. Unsworn statements are to the
effect that there was some lying done
at the inquest and that death resulted
from the stabbing Of the unfortunate
boy. Governor Kitchen has ordered a
thorough investigation. Gen. Julian s.
Carr, the well-known millionaire rails
ed the bail bonds for the boys in the
sum Of $4,000 and allowed them to go
home to their parents.
