IN DEFENSE OF THE ALLEN
JURiES.

Editor The Roanoke Times:
AS counsel for Sidna Allen, have
pot felt called upon to take part in the
controversy which is being waged
largely through the columns of your
paper by enemies OF the Aliens on the
one part and their friends on the
other So far as Sidna Allen Is con-
cerned, his immediate future is set
tied at least for the present, and law
abiding people, preachers and Bible
scholars included, should let him have
some degree of peace after such a
race for his life has so recently been
run, with five able members of the bar
and others besides. not necessary to
call names,~in hot pursuit. but AN ar
ficie in yesterdays Times signed by
e E &. Richardson. concludes in man.
ner which in my opinion makes 1t
necessary for me to say a word lest
silence should be misconstrued. The
words / refer to are these: Now,
Mr.. Editor, since the confession of
Sidna Alien and Wesley Edwards it
is time for us all to bow our heads in
shame for the jurymen who tried
Sidna Allen and voted for his acquit-
tai
1t is in behalf of the jury that is
so unjustly attacked that | wish TO
say word The jury from Grayson
county. which tried Sidna Allen in
the first case stood six for acquittai
and finally in order to reach a verdict
compromised on second degree. Judge
Staples stated in my presence that
he intended getting a jury for the
second trial which would not be under
certain influences which seemed to
exist in that part of the State, and
would select jury from Northern and
Eastern Virginia which would insure
a just and impartial verdict. AS soon
as | received the list of jurors | wrote
friends to ask of the character of men
selected in the various counties. and
received replies from every county to
the effect that the men chosen in
each instance were among the best
and most prominent citizens in the
county and would render a conscien-
tious verdict. This is all we knew of
these gentlemen and we saw them
for the first time on the day court
opened. Your paper contained head
lines as follows: s'An ideal jury
composed of business men and pros
porous farmers---to try Edna Allen"
Almost every man selected stated upon
his examination by the court that
he had formed and expressed an
opinion upon the guilt or innocence
of the prisoner and everyone well
knew that these opinions were that

FARMERS, ATTENTION.

Every farmer who is interested in
the preservation Of his land or the
increase in the yield Of his acres,
and that means every farmer in the
entire country, should take advantage
of the offer Of the e. R. Moses Mer-
camille Co., and call at their store
and get one Of the free books they
are giving away and which are put
out by the John Deere Plow Co.
They are filled with interesting and
valuable articles, telling how to best
maintain the fertility Of the land,
how to treat poor or worn out land,
and how to best prepare the seed
bed for the different crops and to
cultivate them in the most effective
manner. Mr.. Moses states that they
have only a limited supply of these
books and anyone desiring one should
call Immediately. The articles con.
tanned in them are practical and well
worth the study Of every farmer.

RENO VOTES BONDS.

The last act in the State Fair con-
trcversy was staged this week when
Keno county, by rousing majority,
voted to issue bonds to the amount
Of $50, 900 to purchase the Hutchinson
Fair grounds from the present Fair
Association. Of over 4,4OO votes in
the city of Hutchinson, there we're
less than 200 against the measure
and only five precincts turned in an
adverse majority. The county will,
after purchase of the grounds, do
nate them to the state as a perma-
nent site for the Kansas State Fair.
The question Of whether or not
the bond issue would carry has been
one of vital interest to central and
western Kansas and now that the
matter is decided in the way which
is eminently satisfactory to the peo-
pie of the district, all are ready to
boost for the best State Fair this
season that Kansas has ever known,
and one which from now heneeforth
will help to place Kansas where she
belongs in the category of states.
Aside from being a matter of pride,
the location of the State Fair in Rerd
county is a matter of dollars and
cents to the great farming and stock
raising industries, not of Reno alone,
but of all counties centrally located
which produce a surprisingly large
percentage of the entire agricultural
wealth of the state.

affairs of the term were ended with
q very successfully rendered play and

thing which is a handicap to the

that not more than half the people
