Mrs. Sidna Allen, wife OF one of the
indicted tiuSitives, and Mrs. Victor Al
len. wife of her nephew, who is in Jail
at Roanoke.
The detectives under Lee Felts, who
were sworn as deputies In this county,
had gone TO the handsome home of
Sidna Allen, and in consequence of the
three damage suits filed by the execu-
tors OF the estates OF Judge Massie

ed a levy on the house and took away

in the possession OF Carroll county

posse brought back TO Hillsvillc all

Guiding four farm horses. two stall
lions and two wagons.
Mrs. Sidna Allen wished 10 retain
possession of the horses. but she was
told by Detective Felts to take the
matter up with Prosecutor Landreth
Accordingly she made the trip TO town
in a crcaky rig, behind n pair OF bor-
rowed mules, and with her rode Mrs.
Victor Allen. The women were care

cant events, ard with difficulty main

quests were not granted. and the AL
lens returned home disappointed.
First News of Tragedy.
Jack Allen talked freely when he left
Inf To cal
the first news OF the tragedy came over
the telephone to him from a neighbor,
and that he met Sidna and Wesley Ed
wards. his nephcws. on their way from
the courthouse. He wept as he re-
marked that Wesley Edwards always
was a bad boy" and got into trouble.
He said the boys explained the shoot
everybody. He bore out the earlier
statements of Floyd that self-defense
caused the fUsilladc from the Aliens.
He was asked about Devils Den,
but said It counted 1t a poor hiding
place.
There arc lots of places better than
that" he smiled
1Thcre was general appreciation over
the news that a. y. Campbell had been
appointed judge to succeed Judge
Massie.
The detectives brought to town the
three stills they discovered on Sunday
and conf1scated the liquor.
AT 9 o'clock tonight six picked men
brought in four more hoi ses belonging
to the Allen family.

represented Floyd Allen at the bar

nut Ridge. Travellers coming down
from Fancy Gap said the Aliens had
deserted their stand at Squirrel Spur
and plunged into the still thicker
country over toward the Patrick
county line. That Is more OF a wilder
ness than their previous stand. At
come places the boundary lines have
never been located.
1t now looks like an attempt to
starve out the assassins. The posses
have been spread over the roads, and
the crossroads and byways have been
we'll covered. BY ta!s method they
hope to cut off food supplies and prob
ably medical attention.
Detective Dan Baldwin was starting
off tonight from Roanoke for Mt
Airy on the Carolina line, hoping to
work down through the Ararat River
in order to meet the Hillsville posse
working UP over Volunteer Gap. This
area is a bowling wilderness of swamp
and bush.

1t is not unlikely that before much
more progress toward the capture of
the assassns is made. Governor Mann
may declare martial law in Carroll
county and call on every man in the
mountains not in sympathy with tie
Aliens to come out. Under such con-
ditions troops could picket the roads
and passes and escape would be almost
impossible.
