This message from Sidna Allen and
! Wesley Edwards was brought into
| town this afternoon by young freol
Allen, girlish looking lad of seventeen
I who had been hiding out in the mouli-
talns most of the time since the
courthouse slaughter He was cap.
tured today, INCREASINGLY, hiding in
1.-The carriage house behind his fathers
home, eight miles away from here.
He left his Uncle Sidna and his
| Cousin Wesley two nights ago because
as he expressed 1t, he was plum star
we'd out
In addition TO the thrilling defiance
he brought in the grave and import
ant news that the courthouse shoot
ing really was the result OF con
spiracy--that the Aliens planned IL
in advance and that Sidna Allen and
Wesley Edwards at least had their
victims selected.
Sidna Stays Massie
when we were lying out there un.
der a shelved rock and hiding In the
laurels and ivy" said Freel to the de-
tectives, Uncle Sidna said he mad
killed his man. That was Judge Mas
. sic. Cousin Wesley allowed that he
had killed VOL Foster, the prosecu-
: tor. Uncle Sidna told me and Wes-
J ! ley that he had emptled his pistol
, three times and that what he was try
/ ing to do was to kill the Judge, the
) Jurors and the whole ID push. lie

1 IL up beforehand. Uncle Sid was t.
g get Judge Massie, Yves to shoot al
I VIII Foster and some OF the Others
= of our crowd were to kill Sheriff
t Webb and Dex Goad, the clerk"
When Freel left the others OIL
Wednesday night they were in wilt
rugged section of the mountain tops
d about twenty-one miles southwest o
u here. They had been there abou
u eight or nine days then, ready for
~ fight at any moment. Every nights
IL camp was close to some trunk of
}" fallen tree which they might use IA
B breastworks to protect them an
10 resting place for their weapons.
Bound to Die Fighting
The little fellow believes that b'
yond doubt they will both die figh
ing. So, too, do the detectives. Their
was n grimmer look than ever upo
the faces OF the mountain scouts VIII
rode out OF here this evening to r.
. | lieYe ComradS VINO were III tue bel
- eral vicinity of where the despera'
oes were last seen. 1t was notice
that some of the scouts shook hant
. with associates whoremained benin
and with friends they have mao

80 Some of them may not come ba,
alive.
:. 1t is probable, according to Ca
a. tain Tom Felts of the detective fore
- that Allen and Edwards have NJ
80 moved away, but will make the
am stand where they are, This is pla'
-. called NO Mans Land" There is n
:. house within five miles of the
:, last camp and the laurel and ~
- thickets are so dense that a scare

the mountain afoot. The fight mi
be in the darkness after nightfall-
may be tomorrow. 1t cannot in al
event be long deferred
