Tells Of Phone Message to Lieuten-
ant-Governor Ellyson in Behalf
of Young Claude Allen.

Having had brought to his
attention several articles pub
lished in Virginia papers criti-
cizing him for the part he took
in connection with the temporary
respite granted to Floyd and
Claude Allen, the Hillvsville
lmurderers, by Lieutenant Cover
NOR Ellyson, Senator Claude A.
Swanson, of Virginia, last Tues
day sent a telegram to The Roa-
noke Times, explaining his part
IN the affair, together with the
circumstances leading up to his
connection with the case. His
telegram follows:
Editor The Roanoke Times:
In reply to your telegram con-
cerning the statement published
IN some papers regarding my
efforts to get Lieutenant Cover
nor Ellyson to act, will say that
| knew nothing what ever about
the absence of Governor Mann or
any action in the matter until
about eleven O'Clock Thursday
night, when returned to my
residence in Washington and
was informed that there was
long distance call for me from
Richmond. | stated to the
operator that | would talk to the
party. A party was then put on
the phone in Richmond who
stated to me that Lieutenant
Governor Ellyson was there and
that an effort was being made
to get him to take some action
in the case of Claude Allen and
that he desired me to talk with
Lieutenant Governor Ellyson.
Lieutenant Governor Ellyson
came to the phone and stated to
me that some parties were try
ing to get him to take action in
the matter regarding the
electrocution of Claude Allen
the next day and said that
Governor Mann was absent from
the State. Lieutenant Governor
Ellyson told me that he did not
think he had any authority to
act. ] told him / could not recall
the provisions of the constitution
as to whether he had authority
or not to act in this matter and
that it was for him to deter
mine. / stated to him that il Il
We're similarly situated and had
authority to act and a petition
was pending before me for
action in this case and | felt like
the death penalty should not be
imposed and the responsibility
was on me to act upon this petit
tion, occasioned by the absence
of the Governor, that / would
respite the prisoners, leaving
the responsibility for the
electrocution, it if should occur,
entirely with the governor. This
was the only conversation ! had

him." Claude A. Swanson.
