(By United Press Leased Wire.)

HILLSVILLE, Va, March 16.-
Forty detectives from Richmond
aided by half a hundred deputy
sheriffs and a dozen feudists at
daybreak today again took up the
chase for the Allen gang of out
laws, whose raid on the Hillsville
courthouse and its sequel, has re-
suited in death of five persons.
Juror Fowler, who was struck by
a bullet, is not expected to live
through the day. His death will
bring the list up to six.
All telegraph and telephone
wires leading to the towns and
villages in Southern Virginia have
been cut. The outlaw clan and
raiders, 16 strong, are strongly
entrenched in a mountain pass,
awaiting the posses. The outlaws
are plentifully supplied with am
munition.
my wife died like a good wife
should" was the only comment
Sidney Allen, the outlaw leader,
had to make today on the death
of Mrs. Allen. She lost her life
in a pitched battle with a posse
in their mountain home while
helping defend her outlaw hus-
band. The posse had surrounded
the bandit who had strongly bar
ricaded himself in his home. AS
fast as the women of his house
hold could load his rifles he KEEP,
blazing away at the posse of dep
Iuty sheriffs. After a short luIl
the posse stormed the house. Mrs
Allen was lying dead in a corner
with a loaded rifle In her hands
Her husband lay groaning in the
corner, bleeding profusely from 8
gunshot wound.

''You shot me, Daisy. you shot
mel oh. Daisy! | am dying. You
you killed me-"
Those were the accusing words
Eugene H. Grace, a prominent
Atlanta contractor cried as he lay
near deaths door in local hos
pitai. His wife, the widow OF a
wealthy Philadelphia paper manu-.
facturer, had been brought to the
hospital by the police to be con-
'fro1ted with what was thought
would be the dying declaration oi
her*husband.
Daisy" the wounded man in
sistsd, you are the one who shot
me-
why, how can you say that?'
she protested. You are trying &c
make me out murderess, and
they will take me to jail"
"You ARE the one who tried to
kill me-" Grace repeated in pitt
Gully painful accents.
Then they led the wife away
and placed her in Jail. She was
released on a $500 bail, but
later was rearrested and Is held
without bail.
The shooting of Grace is the
most battling murder attempt
mystery in the annals of southern
police history. Mrs. Grace denies
the charge. I'm as innocent as
a new born babe" she said. MY
arrest and the accusation of my
husband is all a horrible mis-
take"
