VIRGINIA GIRL ASSAULTED.
Three Held on Suspicion of Attack
ing Young Teacher.

Ashland, Va, March 31.-Three
hundred citizens of Hanover county
on horseback and afoot, followed
bloodhounds over swamps and fields
to-day in a search for negro assail'
ant of Miss Myrtle Rouse, a 19-year-
old school teacher, who was brutally
attacked just outside of Ashland last
night. While the posse was armed
and determined to capture the ne
gro, there was no fear of violence
on the part of the mob. Three ne
groes were arrested and held on sus-
picion. Because of the condition OF
Miss Rouse her physicians would not
permit the officers to take the pris-
oners before her for Identification.
In view, however, of evidence Sc
cured tonight Addie Cash, colored
was formally charged in a warrant
with the crime, the other suspects
being held as a matter Of precaution
After working on the trail all day
the dogs found in a thicket the pock-
etbook stolen from Miss Rouse, to-
gether with scraps Of letter which
had been thrown near by. Coming
later out of the swamp, they picked
up the trail and went direct to the
house of Cash, where he was placed
under arrest.
Miss Rouse, who teaches school at
Rutherglen, had been summoned
home because of the illness of her
father, who lives three miles from
Ashland. Leaving the town she
walked half a mile to the house of a
relative, where she expected to Sc
cure an escort for the remainder OF
the journey. She found that the
family had moved away on Thursday.
The negro followed her from town
and attacked her, as she was alone in
the country. Miss Rouse reached
the home of Samuel R. Carter, a
farmer living near by, and the search
was instantly begun.

OLD BOARD QUITS FIGHT.
Latest Development in Newberry
Registration Conflict.

Newberry, March 2S.-The mem
bers of the board of supervisors of
registration appointed by Governor
Blease brought mandamus proceed
ings before Judge Sease, at Abbeville,
for custody of the books of registra-
ton, the hearing to be heard to-mor-
row at Abbeville.
This afternoon Clerk of Court
Goggans received a communication
from two members of the old board,
who had notified him not to turn the
books over to the new board, in
which they say 1--WE have calmly
thought the matter over, and being
unwilling to inconvenience the
voters of Newberry county, who may
wish to become registered, and dis
regarding any selishness that we
may have in this matter, we have
reached the conclusion to withdraw
the demand alluded to above.
1--WE do not wish to be undersCooo
as in any way relinquishing our title
to the Office nor in any sense to
acquiesce in what we believe to be
clearly partisan action by the COVER
nor in commissioning others than
those who had been indorsed by the
State senate, at it's recent meeting,
but only to place no obstruction in
the way of the registered voters
who may desire to obtain registration
certificates"
This is understood as ending the
contention, and the new board ap-
pointed by Governor Blease will open
their office on next Monday for the
registration of voters.

Richmond, March 29.-Responding
to a message announcing that her
father had been slain by her 15-year-
old brother, while he was beating
her mother, Mrs. Clyde Currie, of
Greenville, S. c., was expected to
reach Richmond some time last night
from that city. Her husband, who
is a nephew of the slain man, is in
the railroad business at Greenville,
the couple having gone to house,
keeping there several months ago.
They were married in Richmond Is
months ago, moving to South Caro-
lima soon afterwards.
Arrangements in police court to-

shooting, had been given up as hav-
ing escaped. Detective Lucas and
four men were working toward Floyd
Aliens house, when suddenly twenty
five yards or so off the Mount Airy
road, a figure, creeping stealthlly
through the underground, was dimly
seen through the mist which over
hung the mountain slope. Close be-
hind Lucas the other men brought
their rifles to their shoulders when,
to their surprise, Allen stepped out
into the road with his hands uprais-
ed, pistol in each.
I'm glad to get chance to come
in he said. I haven't slept in a
bed since the shooting. I'm hungry -
The young mountaineer swung in
between the men of the posse and
they started back to Hillsville.
Could Have Shot Detective.
Il could have shot you," said Al
len, as he smiled and nodded toward
Detective Lucas, ''but I was little
excited at having you come upon me
so soon. Anyway, did not want to
have to kill anybody
Some bread and a cask of water
was found hidden in the thicket and
Allen said it was all he had been
living upon for several days. De-
tectives declared one of the revolvers
in his hands was used in the court
house shooting.
The boy talked freely on the long
journey over soggy roads back to
Hillsville and by the time the party
reached the jail the drizzle had turn
ed to a downpour. The troop of
horsemen picked their way into a
village of darkness, where hardly a
light was visible Though the whole
countryside had learned by the
"wireless" of the woodland country
that another Allen had been taken,
there was no excitement.
Expect to Get Others.
Claude's capture gives renewed
hope of the capture of the three re-
naming fugitives-Sidna Allen, his
nephew, Friel, and Wesley Edwards.
Young Allen probably will be
taken tomorrow to the Roanoke jail,
where some of his kinsfolk already
are.
A movement has been started
among Virginia women to present a
gold medal to Jezebel Goad, the
daughter of Clerk Goad, who ran to
his side when he was under fire by
the Allen gang and brought fresh
ly loaded pistol for her father to
continue the battle. Mrs. William
H. Mann, wife Of the governor, is
heading the movement.

kins, chairman of the receivers of
the Seminole Securities Company,

turned a verdict for the plairltiff
giving him s1,O26.SS. This means

Z per cent. The jury thus consid-
cred him a stockholder and awarded
him his pro rata share of dividends.

ALLEN OUTLAW GIVES UP.
FOURTH MEMBER OF GANG NOW
HELD IN PRISON.
Starved and Sleepless, Claude Allen
Thought to Have Escaped,
SurrenderS.

Hillsville, Va, March 2S.-Starv-
ing, sleepless and fatigued, Claude
Swanson Allen, namesake of United
States senator, came out of the laurel
thicket in the Blue Ridge to-day,
pointed two six-shooters toward the
sky and gave himself to the posse,
which, for nearly two weeks, has
hunted him. Complacent and almost
happy, he then sat sheltered from a
driving storm by the little brick jail,
a stones throw from Carroll court
house, where on March IA the Allen
gang killed the judge, the prosecuting
attorney, the sheriff, juror and a
bystander.
In the presence of a detective,
young Allen described his own part
in the court house tragedy, admitted
that he had seen Sidna Allen shoot
and that he himself had aimed for
Clerk Goad's head four times. He
told a graphic story of the assassin
alton.
Tells of Tragedy.
81 don't know who started the
shooting" said Allen. AFTER it be-
gan I shot four times at Clerk Goad
and aimed for his head every time.
I saw Uncle Sidna shoot at some
body, but don't know who. When
the shooting in the court house was
over, I went outside and saw Uncle
Sidna on the ground shooting at
Goad, so 1 shot at him, too. My
brother, Victor, called me to stop,
but I had shot all my cartridges.
Then we all went away"
It developed that Allen was really
taken in North Carolina, probably
$50 yards over the line.
The sortie which took the prisoner
was directed by Detective Thomas L.
Felts, who had obtained clues
through the efforts of the fugitives
to get food.
mo one was more surprised than
to see Claude Allen" said Felts to-
night.
Young Aliens Surrender.
All day the posses, divided into
small bands, have been following a
trail thought to be that of Wesley
Edwards, a nephew of the Aliens.
