first time that he was being taken

A local newspaper representative and
several men whom Mr.. Baldwin knew
well were permitted to enter the car
during the stopover. No interview
was allowed with the prisoners, though
they several times took part in the
general conversation. Sidna Allen
looks nothing at all like the nrst pic

easily accounts for detectives not
recognizing him as he passed through
the country going West. lie is no:

features so coarse as one would get

His moustache and hair are tinsed
with gray and his profile strongly re-
sembles his brother Floyd Allen. who
has already been convicted OF murder
IN the first degree in connection with
the same crime. He has a pleasant
manner and seemed interested in what
was going on around him.

in Pulaski" He then e'Ated a story

the Aliens previously tried when he
saw amsn at the station who bore a
strong resemblance TO S:dna Alien. AT
the same time he noticed q nervous
