Say Court Officers Began
The Shooting

The reconstructed Carol county
court convened at Hillsville Tues
day with Judge walter R. Staples
presiding and 100 people crowded
in the littis court room.
Attorneys for the Aliens declared
Tuesday they would prove 5shoots
were fired before Floyd Allen drew
his revolver. The presumption is
that they will endeavor to shift the
beginning of the firing to appFehen-
sive court officials.
Tuesdays court proceedings were
confined to the drawing of new and
more complete indictments. Motion
on the part of attorneys for Floyd
and Victor Allen and Byrd Marion,
now in Roanoke Jail, to have dis
missed the civil attachments levied
on their property was overruled by
Judge Staples, on the ground that
sufficient notice had not been given
to the plaintiffs Of intention to fight
them. The attorneys Immediately
complied, but Judge Staples indicat-
ed that he would not hasten to de
eide the matter.
The March term of court so trag-
ically interrupted was formally adj
iourned and Judge Staples opened
the special term to rssprF new
indictments. Judge Staples gran
ted to the hitherto wealthy families
of the prisoners the poor exemption,
which includes only the bare necess-
tiles of life and o9e hog and cow
The detectives searching for the
Aliens will not return here again
unless thsy have captured the out
laws or are positive that they have
escaped.
