WYTHEVILLE. Va, May 9-Counsel
for Floyd Allen. on trial for the murder
Of Prosecutor William NJ Foster, in the
Carroll county court at Hillsville in
March, began in earnest today to try to
break down the evidence introduced by
the commonwealth to show that a con-
spiracy existed between the Aliens to
''shoot up the court. 1t placed on the
stand witnesses to refute the conspiracy
charge, and to testify as to the character
Of the younger members of the Allen
clan.
Emmett Bolen, who was in the court
when the verdict against Floyd Allen was
reached the morning Of the tragedy, said
he left before sentence was pronounced.
and before the shootingn began. He de-
clared he had gone to drug store nearby
and there saw Friel Allen and Wesley
Edwards.
Robert Wilson, cashier Of the Hills
vile bank. testified that Sidna Allen had
shooting a considerable sum of money.
This, he said, was still on deposit in the

HINTS RICHESON MUST DIE.
Gov. Foss Probably Will Not Act on
Plea for Communication.

BOSTON. May 9-Indications are strong
that the appeal Of Clarence v. T. Richie
son, slayer OF Miss Avis Linnell, for
communication of his sentence to life i'm
prisonment will FAIL and that he will be
executed at the state prison in Charles
ton during the week beginning May 10.
Gov. Foss told the members Of the ex-
ecutive council at their meeting yesterday
that probably he would not refer the
petition Of Richeson to them. The coun-
Gil can take no action unless the governor
submits the plea to 1t. The consent Of
this body is necessary to communication.
Public opinion is strongly against
leniency for Richeson, and the governor
recognizes that. He has had an alienist
examine the former Baptist clergyman,
but the doctor has not reported that the
murderer Is mentally unbalanced. The
publication of an afiidavit by Mrs. Louie
Britain that Richeson was Mormon
elder served further to lessen Richeson's
chances for life, although 1t was denied,
In behalf of the governor, that the aff1-
davit had anything to do with his failure
to refer the Communication plea to the
executive council.

MINING DISTRICTS QUIET.
Three Men Shot Yesterday
Dying-State Police Main
tanning Patrol.

POTTSVILLE, Pa, May 9.-The three
men injured in yesterdays fight between
state police and idle anthracite mine
workers at Minersville are still alive, but
there is little hope for two OF them.
No trouble was experienced when re-
pairmen and pumpmen went to work to-
day at the collieries about Minersvflle.
The state police maintained a thorough
patrol. The mountains were dotted with
pickets, who hid behind bushes and rocks
and who stopped many workmen on their
way to the collieries. The workmen were
obliged to tell what kind Of work they
were doing. and they were permitted to
continue, but they were warned not to
go to work after today.
Lehigh Valley Coal and Iron police dis
persed miners pickets near two collieries
in the neighborhood of Mount Carmel
and Centralin.
A futile attempt was made at Locust
Gap to wreck a Reading railway freight
train during the night. Owing to UNI
settled labor conditions In the coal region
special policemen and track walkers have
been distributed along the Reading rail-
way.

Charles s. Ward. sdirector Of the cam
paign. again made 1t plain that It was
absolutely necessary to raise at the least
$11O, 600 for the site. which has been Sc
iected at 18th and I streets northwest.
In the total collected to date there ara
subscriptions amounting to about SIC. 800
which are conditional upon the whole sum
Of $500, 600 being raised. Therefore it may
be necessary to raise the total to $3.50. 500
to have sufficient in hand to purchase the
site. Mr.. Ward. however. is urging the
campaigners not to be satisfied with only
enough money for the site, but to make
every effort to get the entire sum. He
said. however, that once the money for
the site was in hand there we're promises
Of help to erect the building that would

Reason for Motion.

THE motion is supported almost wholly
by the fact that after a certain prosecu-
ton in the southern district of New York
came to an end a number of papers
belonging to the American Steel and
Wire Company that had been furnished
by the company to the government for
use in such prosecution and had been
returned to it's possession were destroyed
by one Of its officers.
while we are satisfied that this de-
struction was without evil intent, the
fact remains that the destruction did take
place, and that Is the reason why, so far
as the steel and wire company Is con-
cerned, the restraining order previously
granted should be continued
The opinion then goes on to say that
it is not shown that the other defendants
were In any respect connected with it's
acts, and that, without evidence, the
court cannot grant the present petition.
The petition is therefore refused except
as to the steel and wire company, but
the government is given permission to
renew the petition IL at any time coun-
sci shall desire such step as necessary
or desirable.
