CLERK GoAD ON THE STAND
Damaging Testimony Against Wes-
ley Edwards and Aliens.

Wytheville, Va, May 25.-Dexter
Goad, clerk of the court of Carroll
county, who escaped death when the
Allen clan murdered the officers of the
Hillsville Court, was witness yes
terday against Claude Allen, who is
on trial for killing Judge Massie. He
positively stated that he had been
shot in the face before he drew his
pistol. He said he saw Byrd Marion
standing on bench near the window
on the south side the evening before
and also near the same place on the
morning of the shooting.
The chair occupied by Judge Massie
was introduced and Clerk Goad took
the position where he saw Byrd Mar
ion standing and the sheriff took the
chair and placed it on the Judges
about the position where Judge Mas
sic was sitting, and the. jurors one by
one, took positions indicated and ex-
amined the hole in the chair. Mr..
Willis objected to the proceedings.
The court ruled it was proper for
Clerk Goad to locate the position o!
Byrd Marion by introduction of the
chair.
Clerk Goad further said that wher
he ran down the steps he saw Sidna
Allen coming from the direction of a
locust tree and both began firing
about the same time. Clerk Goad wa.
on the witness stand three hours anc
mistaken in his testimony by the Wig
orous cross examination by Judge
Hairston, counsel for the defence.
Judge Cain, who was shot in the
back and in the leg, said that when
the firing began in the northeast cor.
ner, he tried to get out and looked
back and saw Floyd Allen pointing a
pistol at him. He heard the report
and was shot in the back and III an IN
stance was shot in the leg. Soon al,
ter he tainted and was carried out.
John Dalton, who was in the room
of Attorney Gilmer when the shooting
began in the courtroom, said that nc
was going into the courtroom the
morning of the shooting, he saw the
Aliens standing together in front OF
the courthouse door on the green ant
heard them say something about wit
nesses. He saw Wesley Edwards rui
his hand into his pocket and offer car
tridges TO the Aliens. He saw then
20 up to the courthouse steps. he
went to Gilmer's room, where from
the window, he saw the firing on the
court green. The witness saw Sidna
Allen shoot out his pistols and reload,
saw the Edwards boy come out limp
ing with Byrd Marion and go towaro
the Wilkinson house, across the green
and there he saw Byrd Marion shoot
two or three times in the direction OF
the courthouse.
The clothes of Judge Massls were
for the firt time introduced in court
as evidence, when Mr.. Seagle, an un-
dertaker and Mr.. Trollinger, both OF
Pulaski testified as to the bullet holes
in the clothing and body Of Judge
Massie, showing they came from par
ties firing from his right
J. F. Green's testimony was I'M
portant, as he said that Clerk Goao

Allen jumped up and said:
