Three Court Officers Shot Dead
In Their Tracks
AND SEVERAL JURORS, TOO
This Unprecedented Attack Took Piece
Just After Judge Massie Had Sen
fenced Floyd Allen to Prison
at HillsWlle, Va.

Hillsville, Va, March l4.--In a fame
of Unprecedented outlawry, the entire
human fabric of the Carroll county cir
cult court in session to-day was wiped
out by assassination. As Judge Thorn
ton Massie sentenced Floyd Allen to a
years Imprisonment for aiding in the
escape of a county prisoner. two OF Al
lens brothers and several friends opened
fire with their rev0lyers.
Judge Massie fell dead ON the bench
at the first volley. The weapons were
then turned on the commonwealth at
torney, William Foster. He sank to the
floor with several bullets in his brain.
Death was instantaneous. Sheriff Lewis
Wedd was making frantic effort to
reach the ringleaders when he was shot
dead before he had taken ten steps.
Several of the jurors who tried the case
were seriously wounded, one of them
probably fatally.
The Aliens, including the prisoner and
his friends, backed out of the courthouse
and dashed for the mountains on horse.
back. A posse of citizens started in pur-
suit of them. Reports here are that one
of the Aliens has been wounded in a.
pitched battle with the posse.

STRUCK FOUNTAIN HARD BLOW.
Wood Team Did Much Damage to Barre's
New Ornament.

A heavily loaded wood team coming
down Washington street this noon
brought up against the granite fountain,
presented to the city last year by the
National Humane alliance through the
late J.. NJ Seayer of Williamstown, and
despite the efforts of the driver to hold
his horses in check the center pole of
the outfit struck the fountain full in
the middle and disjointed several pipes
in the center. Before the break can be
repaired. considerable amount of work
will be involved, as the leakage result
ing from the mishap occurred below the
gauge cutoff.
The heavy die in the center of the
fountain was lifted fully four inches By
the impact of the pole and the heavy
load of wood which augmented the inn
petus OF the sled beyond the power OF
the horses to check it. A small frag.7
ment of stone was also knocked from the
die and other traces of the iron-eap pped
pole were left on the polished granite.
Strips OF the lead filler used in closing
the erevces in the fountain were also
Jared from position by the collision
No blame can hardly be attached to the
driver as the icy approach to the foun
tain made it all the more impossible
for him to direct the pole out of range

ployes were engaged in repairing the
damage this afternoon under the dree.

this morning, but the endorsement by
the strikers committee of the Amer

believed to make certain the return

The attitude of the strikers towards
the other mills, which in most cases
failed to detail the extent of the wage
increase granted recently, could not be
determined until the mass meeting OF
strikers which it was thought would be

The proposition of the American Wool
en- company which provides for an in
crease ranging from five to % per cent,
time and quarter pay for over time
work and readiustment of the pre-
MUM system, was approved by the strike
committee yesterday. Later committees

INSANITY TO BE DEFENSE.
In Case of Joseph Ploof, Who Shot
Policeman In Burlington.

Burlington, March l.-Delusional in
sanity and perhaps some other kinds,
is to comprise the defense to be put
forth by Joseph Ploof, charged with
shooting Police Officer Christopher Miles
on June l6, 1911, at 4S Ward street,
where Miles had gone to arrest Ploof on
a charge of breach of the peace. Ploof's
trial began in Chittenden county court
yesterday morning and will probably oc-
cllpy all of to-day. The respondent is
represented by Attorney V. A. Bullard
and Attorney General Sargent and
States Attorney II. B. Shaw are con-
ducting the prosecution.
The case yesterday was marked by
onc or two Interesting features, one of
which was the impeaching of one of the
states witnesses by the prosecuting of
fcers, after the witness had had a fit in
the witness room and been revived by
dash of cold water in his face. The
counsel for the defense also revealed
during the day, that a strong insanity
defense is to be offered by Ploof, a de-
Tense which may branch out into wide
consideration of insanity in various
forms. The last feature of the day
was a clash between Attorney General
Sargent and V. A. Bullard, when the
prosecuting officers had used the grand
jury minutes for the purpose of inn
peaching a witness. The Ploof case
will doubtless furnish some further in
teresting points to-day, when the wit
nesses for the defense are called. The
state did not complete its case last
night and will call more witnesses this
morning.
Jury Speedily Drawn.
A bullet in ones back feels somewhat
like the sudden blow from heavy axe,
according to Police Officer Christopher
Miles, who took the stand in county
court yesterday. .
The jury in the Ploof case was speed
lily drawn and considerable progress was
made in the case at the morning ses-
sion The jury is as follows: Adna
