Lorimer and Penrose and by the
delegates fraudulently seated from
states like Washington where,

not because they represent the
people but because they do not
represent the people," declared
Roosevelt hotly. "Mr Taft is

FLOYD ALLEN FOUND GUILTY.
Lawyer for Defense Says no got a Fair
Trial, but will Appeal.

Wythvil]e, Va, May IT,
Floyd Aliens jury today found
him guilty of murder in the first
degree. Death in the electric
chair is the penalty.
After a night of deliberation,
which at one time threatened a
disagreement, the jury flied into
court this morning and delivered
it's verdict. Sentence was de-
ferred, as Allen may be called az
a witness in the trials of his
kinsmen, who are also charged
with the five murders in Carroll
county court.
A sparsely filled court room
heard the end of the trial. Some
thought that fear of an outbreak.
such as marked the adverse ver-
dict at Hillsville, might be seen
today. It was imp ossible, how.
ever. Officers searched all who
entered the room.
The other prisoners probably
will be tried Immediately.
Claude, Friel and Victor Allen,
Byrd Marion and Sidna Edwards,
are under indictments for the
murders, while Sidna Allen and
Wesley Edwards, two other men,
bers of the gang, are still at large.

Judge Oglesby said that a writ
of error would at once be asked.
Under the Virginia practice an
appeal does not come as q matter
Of right but only by permission of

Judge Oglesby said that Floyd
Aliens case was prejudiced by
the fact that during the trial he
was so heavily guarded as to give
the impression to the jury that he
is a desperate even though his leg
is broken, and is likely to shoot
up another court.
