At about q o'clock the Anal word
heard from Hillsvile last night was
orouEht In In the shape OF a wire from
Inc members OF the Carroll county bar.
While indicating that the lawyers a /
least were in determined and organ
lied condition, Il shed no light on the
actual state OF affairs in the bloody
town. The telegram read:
Governor Mann:
Designate Judge for Carroll county.
Let him como here and hold special

term and appoint attorney for the
MEMBERS OF

To this the Governor replied:
members of Carroll County Bar:

Governor Mann was the following:
u. @. Ayrcs, Hillsville
II authorize you to offer a reward
OF $4,000 for the arrest Of all the gull
y parties concerned in the murders at
Hillsville this morning, or 5000 for
each one. .'WM. HODGES MANN,
Governor"
No reply was received from this mes
sage. which is inexpltcable in view of
the flood of Information wired by MIR.
Ayres earlier in the day.
When he went home for the night
Governor Mann had not been advised OF
the tragic events at Hillsville as re-
lated in detail by staff correspondent
Of The Times Dispatch. In view OF
the fact that Floyd Allen is still In
to-day, II is more than likely that the
Governor will to-day order out troops.
Even IL any of the outlaws should be
captured II will be necessary to have
inc militia on guard about the Jail.
There was growing feeling last night
that the presence OF the State's soldiers
Is absolutely needed.
