WvthevilIe. Va, Dec. 11.-Thirty-hNe
wears in the penitentiary Is the penaitS
Sidna Allen will pay for his part IN
the shooting up of the Carroll County
Court House, at Hillsville, last March,
when five persons, including the pre-
siding Judge, the Sheriff and the Com
monwealth's Attorney, were killed by
members Of the Allen clan, and a num-
her Of others wounded. Aliens nephew
Wesley Edwards, will spend twenty
seven years in the penitentlary.
These two sentences were the result
of 2 COMPROMISE this afternoon fol-
lowing a verdict Of voluntary man
slaughter in the case Of Sidna Alien
for the murder of the Commonwealth 5
Attorney. William NJ. Foster, the jury
fixing the penalty in that case at hVe
wears Imprisonment. Allen already
had been found guilty OF second de-
gree murder at a former trial Tor the
killing of Judge Massie. for which he
had been sentenced TO fifteen years IN
the penitentiary. Another indictment
pending against him for the murder OF
Sheriff Webb was compromised by let
ting him plead guilty to second degree
murder and take a flfteen-year sem
tence. The combined sentences make
thirty-fve years. Three indictments
against Wesley Edwards also were
compromised. he taking sentence or
nine years Imprisonment on each.
In the second trial of Sidna Allen
which ended to-day, nine of the Jurors
on the first ballot stood for acquittal
and the other three for murder in the
second degree.
This ends, so far as the courts are
concerned. a tragedy without parallel
and which stirred the country from one
end to the other. Following the con-
viction last March Of Floyd Allen Tor
an offence which would have sent him
to the penitentiary for one year, mem
bers Of the Allen family, clannish
mountaineers. opened fire on the court
officials. At the first volley Judge
Thornton l.. Massie fell mortally
wounded, and after the fusillade which
followed Sheriff Webb and Common
wealth's Attorney Foster also were
found dead. On the following day one
Of the three jurors who were shot died
Of his wounds, as did also Miss Nettie
Ayres, who had been a witness in the
case. .
Floyd Allen was arrested the day fol-
lowing the tragedy, being too badly
wounded to escape. The arrest Of the
others implicated in the shooting fol-
lowed at various intervals. The two
men whose fate was decided to-day
eluded the detectives for some months
but were traced to Des Moines, Iowa
and captured.
OF the six men who have been con-
victed of completely in the shooting
Floyd Allen and his son Claude are
under sentence OF death, while Sidna
-and Friel Allen and Wesley and Sidna
Edwards have been sentenced 10 lone
terms i'm the penitentiary. Victor Al
len. a son Of Floyd, was acquitted, and
Byrd Marion was discharged because
of lack of evidence against him.

BELIEVE IN GEMS RETURN
Irish Jewels May Be in Hands of
Authorities in London.
IBy Gable to The Tribune. ]

London, Dec. 12.-Despite official de-
malls, public opinion swings around to
the news that the Irish crown jewels
have again been returned to the au-
thorities. One thing, however, is toll
erabiy certain-they have not reached
Dublin Castle. and the belief at the
Irish metropolis is that they have been
recovered in London.
Dublin people are inclined to con-
meet the departure OF the Lord Lieu
tenant for London on Tuesday night
and the departure Of the Ulster King
of Arms also for London last night
with the recovery of the regala. No
body now will believe the replies given
by the officials that nothing is known
about them in Dublin are correct

iel that we're in the rooms where the
mother and son died were also killed.
1t was evident that the death pact had
been made for some time, as the fat
which the Ultzen's occupied was with
out gas until last Saturday when
plumbers completed the work Of con-
Meeting pipes with the gas main.
They were up late Tuesday night
playing records on a photograph and
the last record used was Nearer. My
God. to Thee" which was found on the
machine.
The Ultzens occupied the second floor
Of two family house. and Mrs. Emma
Karl has rooms on the first floor. Last
night Mrs Karl had a caller who, soon
after he had entered the house. smelled
gas Mrs Karl sent him down cellar
to see If the meter was leaking and
when he reported that all was in good
shape there she asked him 10 go up and
see II the leak was I'm the Ultzen apart
ment The caller, whose name was
T. j. Henning. found everything dark
IN the Ultzen nat, and ran for police

It was not a great distance to the
Fourth avenue police station and
Henning went there. Two policemen
We're sent along with him, and they

ported the tube in his mouth by run
ming it through a strap buckled abouI
I his neck.
There was no note TO tell why Mrs

selves. The mother lived apart from
her husband, who is an architect. Sh,

forty.
Just as the police broke into the fla
there came TO the house Miss Mimi,

Some Untoward Incl

London, Dec. ia not overoptimls-
tic view of the international situation
was expressed by Sir Edward Grey the
British Foreign Secretary, when he for
mally announced i'm the House of Com
mons this afternoon that the ambassa-
doris of the great powers would meet
in London simultaneously with the
Observation-Disclosures Of Turkey and of the
Balkan States who are to discuss peace
here.
Sir Edward defined the object Of the
ambassadors gathering as IAN lnfor-
NAL and nom committal consultation
which is of course an indication that
the European powers are not yet sure
that solution OF all the difficulties Is
in sight"
Commenting on the European situa-
ton. the Secretary for Foreign Affairs
said:
Hopes and anxieties have varied
from dav to day, and may continue LOT
some time TO vary II is diiilcult 10
saw ANYTHING without causing nndue
pessimisn, or raising hopes Wnlci'
might subsequently be disappointed.
Tho relations between the governments
of the p"wers are amicable the diplo-
matte situation is favorable, and the
onyietv is lest some untoward or UNI
foreseen incident occur. ,,s.,.,,
The consultations Of the Ambassadors
are 10 be informal and non commute,
This. of course. is an indication tnat
the European powers are not YET sur
that a solution Of all the difhcult'es
is i'm sight.

THE MEMS BANQUET.

On Tuesday evening seventy five
men from Blackfoot and vicinity
gathered at the Methodist Church on
invitations issued from the committee
having the matter in charge, and
participated in social event, con-
sisting of five course banquet fol-
lowed by speeches.
While the company was assembling
the reception committee was busy
making the guests acquainted and
aiding them having pleasant social
time. The tables were spread in the
church parlors by dozen or more
members of the ladies aid, and when
the guests filed in to take their places
at the tables, each one found his
name dainty painted on card al
his plate. The tables were beauti-
fully decorated, and bevy of young
ladies served.
Mr.. P. w. Powers acted as toast
master and interspersed the various
parts with jokes and short stories
that were fitting. Prof. w. D. Vim
cent gave short address on 1.-THE
Boy of To-day" in which he brought
out the importance of allowing the
boy to run with "The Gang" during
that period when he needs to match
his strength and talents with other
boys. It develops the boy into the
man, and the boy who MISE" the
gang" experience is the one that is
dubbed Sissy" and lacks the spunk
and the knowledge of things to make
him practical.
Prof. Lewis on THE young man of
to-day" was an address on the re-
lation of the young man to the
church life and church work. The
leading thought was that the young
man needs the church and its organ
lied effort more than the church
needs him. He said that people
make the mistake of putting it con-
versely and leaving the young men
to suppose that something or some
body wants to levy upon them for an
intangible something for which they
receive no returns when in reality
the church is or ought to be an or
ganized effort to supply his wants
SO far as they are natural and right.
Rev. Jacob Finger of Idaho Falls
cracked series of jokes that kept
his audience roaring with laughter
and finally launched out in brief
but forceful address on mems relat-
ion to their God.
