Dir. Campbell who Is but twenty
three years old. spoke with forcs. lie
called 1t tho most horrible crime ever
committed in an Anglo-SaNon coun-
tGy. lie took up Mr.. CoXe's arguments
IN detail Witnesses in numbers. hs
said. saw Floyd Aliens pistol before
shot was fired in the courtroom.
Then. the flight was evidence of guilt,
FOR the fuGitlves went to the noun
tains, where they expected still to
! defy the law. as had been their GUS
tom. The Aliens, it seemed. had cart
ridges enough to shoot at the jurors
on the street.
AZ to Jack Allen, there was moth
Ing to show that the latter had not
been in the plot. Mr.. Campbell paid
some attention to the case of Jack
Allen. who seated just outside the
bar, glared at tho young lawyer.
"a fine exhibition MIR. Coke called
him." shouted Mr. Campbell Yes. u
fine exhibition OF terrorizing Carroll
county. lie testified what no did to
Samuels. No doubt that Is fair
/ sample OF what he and his kind have
been doing for years. With a. sneer
/ on his face, he testified that Samuels
dropped his gun; he said yes I'd
have shot him How could the Com
monweaith 1T the Foster bullets" he
asked, when no gun was found on
| Floyd Allen. AS to that, thirty eight
7 calibre pocket gun" Mr.. Campbell re-
marked. Floyd Allen seemed to have
morning and evening and Sunday
guns.
III Floyd Allen did not fire tho
fatal shot. no gave the signal for It,
OF course. he denies it. The shadow
! OF the electric chair is upon him, and
he will tell anything He has con
tmdicted perhaps sixty witnesses as
! to what happened in the court room
lie says he fell on Judge Bolen. but
the latter testified that ho himself
did not fall until after Judge Massic
had been murdered and two of the
conspirators had advanced and were
firing on the officers Had Dexter
Goad shot Floyd Allen In the court
room, Judge Mnssie would have put
him behind the bars"
"If the evidence In this case does
not show Floyd Allen guilty OF murier
In the first degree the courthouscs
might as we'll be closed"
There is no middle ground. Either
Floyd Allen Is fully guilty or is inno-
cent. The eyes OF 10000, OOO OF people

TALULAH IS UNDER
WATER s TO II FEET DEEP,
And Mighty Torrent Sweeping
Through Madison and Corroll
Parishes; Thousands of Live
Stock Drowned.

Tallulah, La, April ia mighty
torrent: Of water is tonight sweeping
out over Madison and East Carroll
parishes from the Dogtail lcyee ere
vase, which went out with a roar
late yesterday and suddenly turned
an eighteen-foot wall of Mis-
sissippi fOod waters.
1t is believed no lives have been
lost, out the property loss from this
crevasse will be heavier than suf-
fered by this section since the de-
structive foods Of 1882.
Thousands of head Of live stock al
ready have been wiped out Of exist
ence north of Tallulah and the 1ood
waters are moving on to cover yet
another million acres Of cattle grazing
grounds and fertile fields. Thousands
Of persons will be made homeless in
East Carroll, Madison, Tensas and
Concordia parishes
The United States government has
been urged to rush tents and supplies
to this section.
No Human Agency Can Stop 1t.
The nogtail crevasse tonight is
more than 1000 feet in width and no
human agency al stop the OTlTush OF
the waters until it has inundated a
large part of an area eighty miles in
length and varying IN worth from
eight to twenty-six miles.
Inc WdtC1 WAIA COft dPp4 OAtiIldtSts
/ 100000 acres.
M absence Of the reports OF loss Of
life is due to the precautions taken
by the lcvee authorities TO warn the
people Of the low country.
Families Must Desert Their Homes.
The water from the prob
ably will have Taliuiah surrounded
by morning. Many families will be
forced to move out OF their homes.
| but there will be no loss Of life here.
Last nights ~creyasse occurred at
the river bend near Alsatia, La, TWEEN
ty miles north. of Talluiah and forty
, FIVE miles south Of the Arkansas State
| line. The full effect Of the rushing
! waters, the roar Of which could be
heard for miles, was felt in the little
town of Roosevelt on the Iron Noun
tain Railroad.
This town tonight is under S to l.
feet Of water and the inhabitants
were Haafooned on the highest spots
awaiting the arrival OF scu par
| ties when the*last word came froE
there.

FLOOD SITUATION
Great Volumes of MUDDY
Water Through Two Creva-
sses in River, Are Rushing
Over LoWlands; Weeks
Outlook

Through two vas in the Mis-
sissippi river n another in its equal
~ rampant tributary, the Arkansas,
great volumes of muddy water are to-
the west side of the big stream, de-
stined to a large section Of
northeast Louisiana and a portion of
the extreme eastern part Of Arkan
saS. For the next eight or ten days
the raging waters, which late Friday
tore their way through the restrain
ing levees, will move southwark
and finally will return to the Missis-
sippi at the intersection Of the Red
river, more than $50 miles by land
from the upper cheyasse.
No less than twelve large parishes
in Louisiana and two Arkansas coun-
ties will have felt the effects Of the
flood waters before they again get
back within the Mississippi's 1evees.
Millions Of acres Of land will be in
undated. For the most part, the over
flowed territory will embrace untitled
swamps.
No lives have been lost, according
to reports received last night from
two-score of towns in the path of the
flooded district. That the property
loss will be heavy is admitted. Many
thousands Of head Of cattle already
have been drowned. and more will
be claimed tV the flood waters as they
continue southwark.
The destructive breaks in the Mis-
sisSippi leVeeS at Panther Forest,
Ark, and near Roosevelt. La, will
| have little effect upon the crest OF
the flood waters Of the big i've from
Vicksburg, south. according to
weather bureau forecasts. Vigilance
in the light to control the floods fur
Their down towards the gulf will not
be relaxed.
Regardless, however, Of the result
Of the great and costly fight being
made by the Federal and State gov,
ernments along the swollen stream
it is believed that there can be NJ
great loss Of life in any event.
The people in the territory endan
gered have been given adequate warn
ing.
