NOTED OUTLAW TAKEN
Sidna Allen Captured Near Des
MOines, Iowa, Because of His
Love Letters.

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 14.-Love
for his mountain sweetheart back in
Virginia led today to the capture
here of Sidna Allen, leader of the
notorious Allen clan of bandits who
shot up the court house at Hillsville,
Va, killing a Judge, the sheriff and
several others. Allen surrendered
without struggle.
Aliens arrest was brought about
through the interception of letters
he had written to a young woman
in Virginia. The letters were filled
with endearments and stated that
Allen was working with construc-
tion company near Des Moines.
Wesley Edward, the only free
member of the gang which did the
shooting, is believed to be near Des
Moines and his arrest is expected
momentarily. Several other mem
bers of the gang have been sentenced
to death for the Hillsville murders.

an administrators. even if no concerted plan were had with him.
 When personal injury cases reach trial most defendants are prepared with such a corps of Jury selectors' that none but the most intimate acquaint- ance with the population will preserve a plaintiff from disaster In addition we have conclusive evidence that some, if not all, the court agents and bailiffs hold passes issued by one corporation entitling them to ride free upon it's lines and in several instances money was furnished instead of passes in or der to defray transportation.
 "On the whole we conclude that none but the most experienced specialist can hope to win personal injury case for a claimant; and that the necessity for such specialization has given color to the claim of right to resort to unethical practices to obtain suits in the prep aratlon of which money and time have
 to be spent
 ..Hence the committee concludes that
 either some plan must be devised by which it is made useless for the defend- ants lawyers to rely upon the obstacles his clients defensive machinery can throw against the course of justice: or we must allow the plaintiffs lawyers 10 pursue openly the plans they have adopt ed to keep their offices in operation for
 the plaintiffs success and to offset the defendants forces.
 "In view of the foregoing, the commit tee is of the opinion that unethical prac- l tices upon the part of the personal injury plaintiff and his attorney are met by
 similar practices on the part of the de- fendant of which those who represent de- fendants are we'll aware. It appears to be like the old conflict between guns and armor. where increased energy is matched and overcome by stouter resistance. Tt may be safely stated that every unfair practice indulged in by the plain tiff or his representatives has its equally reprehensible counterpart on the other side of the case These practices. whether
 upon one side or the other, We regard as
 not only harmful to professional stand
 ards, but as resulting in nearly every case in contest for a verdict without regard to the administration of justice. The methods used by defendants are | fraught with even more danger than those | of plaintiffs. for the reason tfat the for

 only one of the cogs in this machine. No attorney who is a part of such system | can entirely shield himself behind his

he knowingly makes use of this guilty ma chinery.
 Tt should not be considered ethical for an attorney to allow himself to be used as a part of machine designed to tbwart justice.
 Tt should be borne in mind that, with the growth and development of the great industrial and transportation interests. new conditions have arisen which effect the legal profession, as well as all other activities of life. The old rules of pro- priety in professional conduct are not to be looked to alone in settling questions of ethics. Rather, must we consider the principles and reasons which gave rise to those rules. Undoubtedly, anything which tends to obstruct justice. and other than may be necessary in present. ing an honest claim or a meritorious de- r fense. is uuethical and unprofessional. The purpose of courts Is to secure legal rights. Any attempt at perversion from this purpose cannot be defended.
 The committee does not hesitate to denounce as unethical the following practices sometimes resorted to by de- fendants attorneys: ta) The delay of cases for the embarrassment of the plaintiff, or in order that his witnesses may become scattered, or be forced by the stress of poverty to make an un' just compromise; tb) the practice of fighting a case through all the courts on every teehnicality for the purpose of intimidating the plaintiff or coercing him to an unfair settlement; Co the defense of unjust settlements or set dement's obtained by false representa- tions or under unfair conditions; (d) the use of claim agents to obtain dis torted ex parte affidavits, with which the witness Is to be confronted and his testimony affected on the trial and (e) the use of professional jury se- lectors in the trial af causes.
 The committee also denounces with equal emphasis as unethical the prac- tice of the soliciting agent. the office runner or striker and similar repre- hensible practices often used by plain ! tin's attorneys
 Your committee in conclusion recom- mends
 T. This association should denounce as unethical and unprofessional the practices we have mentioned as being not infre- quent among defendants attorneys At torneys should be forbidden to consciously remain a part of a system, any essential member of which resorts to unjust prac- | tices, or practices tending to obstruct jus 1 tice. Attorneys should be hel responsible where they knowingly act as general ad- visers to clients who make it a practice to corrupt or obstruct justice.
