That his ten per cent commission on
messages amounted only to so cents a
month, was one of the reasons given by

day with the state railroad commission.
Representing the indignant villagers,
w. A. Wooten. solicitor general of the

Marriage Gown She Had Pre-
pared Never Worn Because
of Governors Ruling.

RICHMOND, VA. March 26.-The
Virginia authorities have finally refused
to permit the marriage, in the death
chamber of the state penitentiary, of
Claude Allen, who helped shoot up the
Hillsville court house. and Miss Nellie
Wisler, Aliens pretty eighteen-y ear-old
mountain sweetheart.
Broken hearted because the state has
refused to allow her to tighten the last
hours of Aliens life, the girl has bade
her lover a last good bye and returned
to her home, her wedding gown unfold
ed, to count the hours that elapse be-
fore Allen meets death in the electric
chair
Miss Wisler has been Aliens almost
constant companion since his incar-
ceration She visited him number of
times while he was in jail at Roanoke,
and since he has been confined in the
death chamber of the state peniten-
tiary her visits have been more fire.
quent She has pleaded with Governor
Mann to commute Aliens sentence to
life Imprisonment. but has been met
with the statement that Allen life must
be the price of his part in the tragedy
at Hillsville, where the Judge on the
bench and several court officials were
shot to death.
The farewell of the lovers, who had
known each other from childhood, was
pathetic. in the extreme. Miss Wisler
brought her wedding gown to the peni-
Tertiary to show Allen, and when she
babe him goodbye he gave her his gold
watch to keep as a token Of love and
affection They had planned to be mar
ried last spring, before the Hillsville
tragedy, and when Allen was arrested
for participating in the shooting she
continued the preparation of her trous-
seau, believing that her lover would be
freed When he was sentenced to death
the lovers declared their intentions of
being married before Allen took his
seat in the death chair, and it is gem
orally understood that they had en-
gagged a minister, when the state
stopped them.
Miss Wisler is the daughter Of Wal
ter Wisler, of Pulaski Va, and a niece
of Benjamin H. Wisler, of German
town. Pa.
This girl forms striking contrast
to Maude Iroler, who. it is generally
believed, served as a decoy for the
Baldwin detectives when they tracked
her lover, Wesley Edwards, to Des
Moines. Iowa, last summer. Though
Maude accompanied Wesley back to
Virginia and pretended to be very much
in love with him. she married a young
man from North Carolina soon after
Wesley was sent to prison for long
term for his part in the Hillsville affair
1t is also generally believed that Maude
received some of the reward offered for
Wesleys capture.

Chief GOTCHECK
AGENT T0LDONCE
Firemen Contradict Testimony
Previously Given in Probe
Of Department.

J D. Cottingham. engineer at No. II
engine house, testified before the coun-
ell committee investigating the fire de-
partment this afternoon, that R. e. Da-
wilson. agent for the Webb Motor
Company, had told him the latter part
Of August in 1912 that he had given
Chief w. B. Cummings $500 in a pock-
etbook.
Davidsons statement in making
charges against Chief Cummings was
that he had given the chief $500, and
Cottingham's testimony was intro
duced to impeach the veracity Of the
motor agent
Cottingham said that he never had
said ANYTHING to Cummings about the
conversation, but that he had spoken to
the captain of his fire company about it.
Cottingham said that it was about
this time that the city had placed an
order with the LaFrance company for
an engine and that this apparently &C.
casioned the remark of Davidson, VINO
said that he thought Cummings should
have remembered him in the award OF
the order and that he would know who
his friends were in the future.
The witness declared that his only
other conversation on the subject was
with w. R. Joyner, son of the ex-fire
chief.
This was the most important testi-
mony brought out during the after
moons hearing.
