square. 2ll feet below the surface of

death today when the oyerheated
sucker dynamo, drawing off the odor~

at the shaft entrance, sent shower OF
sparks close to a Dupont Powder
company wagon loaded with more
than SOC pounds Of dynamite. The
driver removed the wagon as soon as
possible, preventing an explosion that
would have wrecked the shaft and
sent tons Of earth and rock tumbling
down upon the men.
The laborers were wildly frightened
when they heard the monotonous
chug OF the dynamo cease and were
about to make desperate Efforts to
smash the locks on the lifts when
their foreman telephoned down that
only Il small ere had broken out in
the dynamo house, and there was no

FINAL APPEAL FOR
THE ALIENS TODAY
CONTINUED from First Page,)

from a legal standpoint was dug up
before the last petition was submitted
to the Supreme court, and with no
trump card to play, the advocates OF
clemency for the Aliens have simply
to depend upon the possibility of
mercy to the convicted men,
Statement Expected Later.
No decision in the matter is ex-
pected from Governor Mann today
He viii take the cases under advise
ment after hearing the appeals of
the sympathizers and viii probably
issue a formal statement next week.
and those who have followed the
situation closely believe that that
statement will give to the public his
reasons for refusing further to in
terfere with the due process of law.
If he issues such statement no hui
-ri7ta agency will prevent the Aliens
going to their death on March 9Th.
1T is quite certain that the cases
win not be carried to the Supreme
Court of the United States. A promi-
nent Virginia jurist. who is inter-
ested in behalf Of the Aliens, stated
last night that he had absolutely
no faith in the legality of the plea
that Claude Allen was tried twice for
the same crime-that such plea
would not hold water with the high
est tribunal In the land.
Judge Boien's Appeal.
The most interesting figure in the
delegation of sympathi2ers this morn
ing will be Judge d. W.. BoIen, who
was counsel for Floyd Allen in the
original trial, when the Hllsville
courthouse tragedy occurred, and was
the chief witness for the Common
wealth at the trials of Floyd and
Claude Ailen later.
Judge Boien came to Richmond for
the express purpose of pleading with
Governor Mann this morning to COM
mute the, sentences, of both men, not
for airy iesssi Teasotis, but that he be-
ievcs that, at least in the case OF
Claude, there is ground for the ex-
ercise of executive clemency. Judge
Bolen bases his reasons for appeal to
the governor on the ground of en-
vironment and heredity. But for his
ungoyernable temper he declares that
Floyd Allen was a good citizen. Gen
erous to fault, charitable, an excel
lent neighbor and true friend, he de-
clares that his heart cries out in re-
volt at the thought of the old mar
receiving the extreme penalty of the
law. lie is of the opinion that Claude
Allen acted only as any other reason
able son would have acted under the
circumstances, and states further thai
the younger generation of Aliens, In
which he includes Claude and Victor
have shown by their desires for educa-
tional advancement that they have
been striving to get away from the
old environment OF fu@d day in the
wilderness when every man was Law
unto himself.
