ALLEN IS SCORED
PROSECUTOR ARRAicNs BANDIT
AS coLD-RLooDED MURDERER.
Lawyer for Slayer Declares Client Did
Not Shoot Until After He Had
Been Wounded.

Wytheville, Va. May 4.-Floyd Al
Ken, typical native of Virginia's isolat-
ed hills, probably for the first time in
his life, has arrived at realization Of
the determination Of the law when it
deals with the man who has taken
human life.
Six weeks ago, when he was found
guilty Of minor offense, Allen and his
kin took the law into their own hands
and worked their guns until four Of
their prosecutors and an innocent
spectator were dead.
At the opening of his trial Thursday
for the murder of Commonwealth At
torney William M. Foster. Allen,
propped up in an easy chair to allie
viate the pain of his own wounds,
heard a new prosecutor thunderously
denounce him as the arch-conspirator
In one of the most atrocious crimes
In the history of the world.
J. G. Wysof, chief counsel for the
state. in his opening address charac-
terized the Allen gang as ruffians. out
laws and cold-blooded assassins. He
laid great stress on the charge of CON
spiracy.
The opening address of Attorney r.
Fl. Willis for the defense was brief
He declared his client had been the
victim of gross exaggerations. He de-
MED that Allen killed Miss Nancy
Ayers; it, was the bullets OF either
Clerk Dexter Goad or one OF his dep.
uties which killed her, he said. He
denied the existence of conspiracy
and declared Allen did not draw his
own gun until after he had been shot
and then he drew it from his hip
pocket, not from his vest pocket, be-
meath the sweater.
Judge d. w. Bolen Of Hillsville
who had been Floyd Aliens counsel
took the witness chair and detailed
the shooting at the courthouse. He
declared that Claude Allen fred the
first shot.
s. B. Weddell. former resident OF
Hillsville, said he saw Floyd Allen
there the day before the tragedy. Al
len told him that day, the witness de-
clared: Il will kill Bill Foster before
the sun goes down tomorrow right ii
am convincted,"
Weddell said he had always been q
close friend Of the prisoner.
