. EXPENSES OF ALLEN TRIAL.
o,fset mittee Cuts the Sum by
More Than Half.

Richa,ond, Va, Feb. 1S.--Ilawyers
who prosecuted the Aliens and then
demanded S17.500 for their services
a bill being introduced in the legis-
lature authorizing the payment of
such a sum--will get less than half
of what they asked if the recommen-
alton Of the House Committee on Ap-
preparations are approved.
And, moreover, two of the attor-
neys who defended the Aliens will re-
ceive 81 200, or should receive it, ac-
cording to the recommendations Of
the same committee.
Shortly after the Legislature con-
vened Delegates Jordan, of Pulaski,
and Crockett, of Wythe, introduced a
bill known as House bill No. 1910
pay the attorneys of the prosecution
1880, the apportionments to be as
follows:
]. c. Wysor, $4,000; John S. Dra-
per ,S5.00O;W.S. Poage, $4,000; Floyd
Landreth, $4,000.
Many members Of the Legislature
believed these sums excessive, par
t:cularly in view of the reported
statements that some of the attor-
neys had said that they undertook the
prosecution because they loved
Judge Massie like brother"
The bill prepared by Delegates Jor-
dan and Crockett declares that the
attorneys spent nine months in pre-
pairing and prosecuting ithe cases,
and that the trial consumed one hun
dred and eighteen days.
1t is evident, however, that the
House Committee on Appropriations
does not feel that the state should
at least, in its present financial con
tition. pay $17.500 for nine months
work of the four lawyers, and in the
amended bill, as reported to the House
and now on the calendar, the sums
are fixed as follows:
Wysor, $4,000; Draper, $4,000;
Poage, $4,000; Landreth, $1,000.
The bill authorizing payment OF
81 200 to attorneys who defended the
Aliens was introduced by Delegate r.
Fl. Willis, of Roanoke. one Of the Al
len counsel. Str. Willis, however, is
not beneficiary under the BILL The
two attorneys named are W. ". Coke.
and c. +. Coxe. They were appointed
to defend Sidna Allen and Wesley
Edwards and they have not received
either reimbursement for expenses N
CURED or compensation for time en-
pended or services rendered.
Mr.. Willis askel that the two law
vers be imbursed in the sum of ST.
500, or Sl.250 each, but the commit-
tee cut the figure to Sl,2OO, So0Q
each.

Observation-Disclosures they be long or
short?-is is a mooted question whose
answer depends upon many conditions.
What constitutes the wisdom of Walt
ing In the case of a pair of lovers who
have formed q boy and girl attachment
and become engaged before their united
ages reach 10 would be sheer folly ami
waste of precious time in the. case of
man and woman who have each reached
two-score years or more, and who have
fully considered the question and made
up their minds that they will be happy
as man and wife.
Such a couple are far more likely 10 be
certain concerning their choice than
couple OF ygounger lovers who, with the
impetuosity Of youth. have rushed into
an engagement and are anxious to let
nothing interfere with them marrying in
hot haste.
Such couple. too. often live to find
to their everlasting regret, that there Is
more than a grain OF truth in the old
saying about repenting at leisure
In case like this, an engagement OF
a couple of years, or even more will be
a most valuable safeguard In the first
place the pair are young enough TO af-
ford TO wait: in the second. q long en-
gagement may prove a most valuable
preparation for marriage. inasmuch as
the test OF time may only help to show
them that they are ideally suited to one
another. A long engagement may also
help TO enable young people to cultivate
tastes in common. which In their turn
promote that companionship of pursuits
that is such an essential factor in estab-
fishing happiness after marriage
On the other hand. many an engage
ment OF long standing has practically
demonstrated that two natures attracted
to one another at first sight are in no
way suited to one another.
