ALLEN is CONVICTED.

AS told in the dispatches in yes
terdav's Gazette, the jury in Wythc-
Vile Yesterday morning brought a
verdict of guilty against Floyd Allen
the old mountaineer who brought the
darkest stain against Virginia order
that has occurred in the history OF the
Commonwealth. He now stands With
in the shadow of the dreadful chall
and must expiate with his life the
hjdeous crime which he committed
His threats that there are men IN
Carroll county who will see that he
will not be put to death are but the
unavailng rawlings of man whose
word heretofore has been law in his
community.
There will be some who will pity
the broken down old man whose dom
ineering spirit caused him to violate
the temple of justice at Hlllsville,
but no one who believes in the up
holding of the arm Of the law can be
blinded by such pity to the gravity o.
his crime and the necessity OF causing
him to suffer the heavy penalty OF
the law.
Allen and his clansmcn were not an
archists-mcn of perverted and dls-
eased imagination, more than hall
crazcd with wild, political vagaries
and sociological dreams and fancies.
They came of manly and virilc race
healthy in body and mind, strong,
bold and free But bred up in remote
mountain districts, accustomed 10
dominate the community in which they
lived, they naturally, perhaps, devel-
oned a contempt for all law which did
not accord with their crude ideas OF
Justice, and regarded as personal enc
mics all who sought to enforce the
law against them or to Interfere with
what they regarded as their rights
and their personal freedom. Hence
the lawless outburst in the courthouse
of Carroll that thrilled the state with
Indignation and amazed the civilized
world.
The crime Of the old mountalneer
was grievous; but grievously is he to
pay for it. We may pity the man, but
all must admit that the sentence OF
death that has been imposed upon him
is just one.

RICHESON'S FATE

Before next Saturday will have roll

have met his fate at the hands of the
law, and another revolving crime vii
have been wiped off the slate of JUS
ticc, SO far as this earth is concerned
The murderer will be shot into eter'
nity to face a greater judgment thai
that bestowed here, but the Richmond
Tines Dispatch asks the question
now that will help the lost life ano
the persisted happiness of little AWE
Linnell, the child of nineteen, who wa'
the victim Of the grim tragedy.
Will her young soul, grlcvlng
through the afterworld, find consoia-
ton in the knowledge that an outrag
cd humanity has taken a life for q
life?
1t is wondrous pitiful that no justice
can bring back to the sunlight and the
flowers the SHINING innocence that was
betrayed and sent untimcly into Tho
shadows. Nothing can ever be done
Tor her who suffered most, save what
the prayers and charity of tender
hearts can do. No moment OF the
murderer's suspense and long agony
IF his bitter remorSc and terror, vii.
tighten her burden. 1t is right that
he should pay the last spark of life IN
some kind of rcparation and to serve
IS a terrible and mournfu example
to keep other men, through fear, II
for no better reason, from the sins
Of passion. And this is the single
good from all the sad old tragedy.
Somewhere in the world a young girl
nay pass safely and without fear be-
.ausc this man has been executed
The stern fact that men will protect
their daughters will be a warning
And if mothers arc aroused into 8
loser guardianship of unwise children
and fathers taught to demand cleanll-
ness and honor Of their sons, the fral'
life of Avis Linncll Of Hyannis may
not have been tossed into a BLACK
void in vain.

vention where situations develop that
require immediate action and if del
egate is unfortunately bound to some
preconceived proposition, the best in:
terest of the party may be jeopar-
died.
We are free to confess that we have
no choice, at present, for the presiden-
tial nomination, nor do we believe the
people of Virginia have strong pref
erence for any man. The situation
that presents itself is one that need
not give the Democratic concern. Any
one of the men who have ben mention
ed for the presidency, would in our;
opinion make strong candidate, but
one may have better chance than an
other. AS the situation now appears,
it does not look like any one of the;
presidential candidates can secure the
nomination of the Baltimore conVen':
ton on the first ballot. Under the:
two-thirds rule the necessary to a
choice is 729. The number of dele;
gates elected to date is 612 and 4S2
are as yet to be elected. Clark So
far, has 237 and Wilson, with Texas,
has ITO. Harmon has not developed
much strength within the last few
weeks and while Underwood has made
gains, he has not reached position
that would seem to indicate that he
can secure the nomination.
We arc of the opinion that the best
policy of Virginia is to send an unin-
structed delegation to Baltimore.
With their hands free our representa-
tivcs in the National convention can
concentrate upon man who will have
the best chances Of winning and We
will not be tied up with a losing can
didate.

Perhaps l have made a lot worse
plays than the one Of which | am 60
ing to tell. but in my estimation 1t was
the worst I ever made. At least it
made me feel more foolish than any
other I ever made, and It hurt worse.
I'm not ashamed of it. because the
fellow who outthought me and made
me look bad is probably the greatest
ball player that ever lived. At the
time, however, I felt about as cheap
as anyone could feel.
The play came In one Of the worlds
series games at Detroit in 1907. We
had heard a lot about Cobb and his
batting and base running, but we didn't
know him as we'll then as we do now,
and refused to give him credit for eV-
erything that was claimed for him.
Besides that, our pitchers were just
about right, and as they were paying
particular attention to Cobb. the Geor-
gia Peach didn't have much chance 10
do anything. We were all tickled and
were giving Cobb the laugh at every
opportunity, all of which made it
worse for me.
The score was close In the game OF
which I speak, and Cobb came to bat
with one out and smashed hard hit
between right and center. Slagle went

The factory In England will be run
