Floyd Allen, Victor Allen, and BUD
Merriam occupy separate cells today at
Roanoke. The special train which con-
Yeyed them to the more secure quarters
of the Roanoke jail was summoned by
a code message from T. l.. Felts, OF the
Baldwin-Felts agency.
When a covered wagon was driven up
to the door of the Hillsville jail yes
terday afternoon q crowd quickly gath
cred and assumed a threatening aspect
as the prisoners were taken out, Floyd
Allen on a cot and Victor Allen and
Bud Merriam handcuffed together.
About fifty Baldwin -Felts detectives as
sisted by three times as many armed
townsmen were scarcely able to hold
back the menacing throng.
Twenty detectives with rifles ready for
instant use were loaded into six COW
cred wagons to guard the prisoners on
the way TO the railroad, sixteen miles
away, and then to Roanoke. AS the
cavalcade started many sullen looks and
muttered threats caused some fear, so
ali the detectives still in town and a
volunteer guard numbering nearly 200,
attended the prisoners for about three
miles out of town.

ST. PATR|CK'S NAME
AND FAME PRAISED
IN CITYS CHURCHES
Ireland's Patron Saint Is
Theme of Many Sermons
and Songs.

Veneration today in Washington of
the patron saint of Ireland had a dis
tlnctlv religious aspect. Some social di-
versions took place in the afternoon and
evening, but the general nature of st.
Patrick's day celebration i'm the Dis
trlct had reference to the missionary
labors of the saint, the keynote being
sounded in a sermon at st. Patrick s
Church at the o'clocg mass by the
Very Rev. George a. Dougherty, vice
rector of the Catholic University OF
America, before whom in the pulpit sat
a thousand members of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians and half as many
members of the womens auxiliary OF
the order.
Another impressive service at the
same church took place at II o'clock
when high mass was sung by the Rev
Joseph Cunane, of Baltimore. and the
sermon preached by the Rev. d. J. Con.
nor, OF Scranton, Pa. Also at St
Aloysius Church and at st. Joseph's
were special masses said in honor oi
st. Patrick, while at st. Stephens q

Not only at these and other churches
but almost everywhere In Washington
was the wearing of a bit of green ir
evidence TO-DAY. Snamrocks naturally
predominated, a few real ones, anC
many mechanically contrived imitation;
of the triune flower which. however
were just as symbolic as the natura
growth
Members of the Ancient Order of HI
bcrnians were UP early this morning
in order to assemble at Carroll Hall fol-
procession round the corner to st. Pat
rick's. Led by p. f. Carr, district presi
dent, and Marshal Edward l.. Cogan
the procession entered the church at
o'clock, the members OF the Ladies
Auxiliary taking pews on the left-hanC
side of the church and the men on tho
right. To their regret, Monsignor Rus
sell, pastor of St Patrick's was unable
on account Of recent Illness to be pres
ent at this service, but he attended
later masses during the morning.
Father Dougherty. the celebrant ot
the mass, at which the members of the
A. o. II. made a corporate communion
preached the sermon.
The gratitude of the Irish race Is
due St. Patrick because OF the gift Of
faith" he said, 80 through an act
The Washington times., 1912-03-17

OF faith should we show our devotion
to the great saint
"This faith Is a heritage which has
been handed down to us by our fore
fathers and we should labor for 1t as
did they. We are but links in the
great chain which, stretching through
the centuries, binds US to that saint
and which will extend to the last day
OF the world.
TT is our duty to hand down to
future generations unstained and un-
sullied the gift we have received
rick"
st. Patricks was even more crowd
ed at the high mass and all the thou
sands who attended one or more serv-
ices at the church today noticed the
flag of Ireland flying between two
United States flags from the second
story OF the rectory.
A panegyric of ST. Patrick was de-
livered at st. oJseph's this morning at
high mass BY the Rev. Joseph Nc
Enenny, s. j., of Woodstock College.
Tonight a retreat for women begins at
the st. Aloyslus mission for men will
be preached by the Rev. William J.

given with the principal feature an ad-
dress by Congressman Connell. of New

tion tonight.
In two or three Protestan churches
references to st. Patrick were also an
nounced for today. The Right Rev
q. Mott Williams, bishop OF Michigan
and one of the best known prelates In
the Protestant Episcopal hierarchy, will
preach tonight at st. Marks on the life
and labors of st. aPtrick. A sermon
with similar theme is also announced
at Bethany Chapel by the Rev. DR.. vii.

ter. In another Episcopal Church, St
Thomas, the rector. DR.. c. Ernest
Smith, extolled the work of st. Patrick

cdtlnWry.
Garland Allen, the minister who was
designated as the first target for any
bullet from the Allen house, was re-
leased after the detectives had salts
fled themselves that Sidna had es-
capped.
Now that old Floyd Allen, his son,
and Bud Merriam have been removed
from Hillsville, 1t will not be neces-
sary for so many detectives to remain
on guard here, and posse is forming
today for the invasion of Devils Bend.
The Baldwin Felts detectives, men ac-
customed to the dangers of the noun
tain sections, are willing to take with
them any strong-hearted citizen who
would seek to capture the Allen band
and to avenge the most daring bit of
outlawry ever known.
Six Indictments Returned.
Judge Staples. in charging the
grand jury which convened here yes
terday and which later returned six
indictments against members of the
gang, declared from the bench that
the wholesale murder of last Thurs
day was the most humiliating affair
that has ever occurred on the Ameri-
can continent. He spoke plainly, as
serting that he had been designat ted
to come to Hillsville to restore law
and order and that he proposed to do
So
The undertaken who prepared the
body of Judge Massie for burial said
today that he found in the lattcrs
pockets two letters threatening the
Judge with death if lie shoull sen
tonce old Floyd Allen to the peniten-
tiary. The authorities decliIe now to
make public the names of thoso who
sent the letters. but the fact has been
verified that they were WRITTEN and
that when Judge Massie told Floyd
Allen to stand up for sentence he
realized that he took his life in his
hands.
Clerk Dexter Gcad. who was shot
IT the court house melee and who was
the only official OF the court to stand
and engage in a pistol duel with one
of the Allen band, was the first wit
ness before the grand jury.
Attorneys Boiling and Upton. who
represented old Floyd Allen when he
was charged with interfering with an
officer were also witnesses before the
grand jury 1t is reported that the
Allen attorneys told Judge Massie he
had nothing to fear in the event of a
verdict of guilty, and that the erst-
while lawyers for Allen are now bitter
against the outlaws.
AS a result of testimony before the
grand jury indictments charging murder
against Floyd and Sidna Allen were
returned. There were also four secret
indictments.
John Moore. one of the supposed AL
len sympathisers. who has been re-
leased, told the officers today that Sidna
Allen and his wife spent Thursday
