whose immediate robberies in San

to over 100000.
While the doctors are hesitating
whether amputation of COnns
wounded leg will do any good, and
he is wavering between life and
death from blood poisoning. while
jewels he stole to the value of $780,

somewhere in the West hiding from

whom he claims first started him
on his career of robbery, in vain is
attempting reconciliation with her
husband, a minister of Chicago
This accomplice, a Mrs. Pope, is
known only to the police of San
Francisco by reputation. She and
the gentleman burglar lived in
emily operating together. She was
of aid in helping pawn and sell the
articles he stole during eight
months in this city. at Los Angeles,

until the shot OF a policeman who
had cornered him in the home of
wealthy people brought him to the
hospital. Then Mrs. Pope fled by
train to the eastward.
The other woman. Mrs. Mabel
Clarkson, herself mission worker,
graduate of two colleges, remark
ably beautiful has returned to Chi
cago from a prison sentence in Mil
yankee. hoping to reconcile herself
with her minister husband and to
win back her five children. These
she deserted for the sake of Conn,
whom she met in the course of her
mission work.
Conn lays his downfall to Mrs.
GARRISON. He is said to be the son
of a Chicago contractor, Thomas j.

have anything to say upon the case.

DEATH PENALTY
PAID BY ALIENS
For the HilIsviIle Murders
About Year Ago.
OF THE ALLEN CLAN
Whose Members Knew No
Law Except Law Of
Physical Force.
HOW CASES WE'RE DISPOSED OF

Richmond, Va, March U.s.
Floyd Allen and his son, Claude,
the only two gunner to pay the
death penalty for the Carroll court
house murders a year ago, were
electrocuted in the penitentiary
shortly after l O'Clock after a dra-
matte eleventh hour attempt to
save them had been thwarted by
Gov. Mann unexpectedly returning
to the capital, thus preventing the
Lieut.. Governor from acting upon
the. request for Communication. Their
execution disposes of the last of
this band of Virginia freebooters.
Sidna Allen, brother of Floyd,
Wesley Edwards, a nephew, and
Sidna Edwards, his father, together
with Friel Allen, a son of Sidna,
are all serving 15-year sentences in
the Virginia penitentiary. Victor
Allen, a son of Floyd, who had been
before the Hillsville massacre and
who aspired to the Office of Com
monwealth Attorney, the incumbent
of which, William II. Foster, was
shot at the time of the raid, was
tried and acquitted, there having
been nothing to show that he had
anything to do with the shooting
Byrd Marion, cousin of Claude
Allen, secured his liberation by
turning states evidence.
Sidna Allen, who was captured
in Iowa, with his nephew Wesley
Edwards, was the man accused by
Judge Thorton l.. Massie of having
fired the shot which resulted in the
judges death.
To-day, therefore. marks the
passing of the Allen clan, which
knew no law but violence. For
years this clan had dominated the
section of Southeastern Virginia,
known as Fancy Gap. They acquir-
ed wealth, according to mountain
standards, defied their fellow men
and the courts, and lived law un-
to themselves.
As among all primitive charac-
tiers, the clan spirit was uppermost
with the Aliens. One day. a little
over a year ago. when Old Floyd
heard that two of his nephews la!
been arrested, he bore down on the
officer who had the boys in custody,
brutally assaulted him and set the
prisoners at liberty.
1t was for this contravention o.
the law that Floyd Allen was being
tried at Hillsville on March Ia
1912, when his fellow clansrea
drew their guns and shot to death
four officials of the court and wo-
man spectator.
