WERE TOOLS OF GERMAN AGENTS
Mountaneers Convicted OF Recruiting
Men To Destroy U. S. Arms.

Big Stone Gap, Val. w. Phipps
and W. V. Mccoy, Virginia mountain
GERS, were found guilty by jury in
federal court here on an indictment
for recruiting men to destroy arms
and ammunition of the United States
government" The penalty was fixed
at five years in the federal penitentiary
at Atlanta
Other indictments against the men
charging interference with the selec
tive draft law were dismissed. Both
prisoners, in a statement to the court,
said that three men, strangers in the
community, induced them to attempt
to organize and arm mountaineers in
this section on a promise of large
sum of money. Government officials
are confident these men were German
agents.
Witnesses for the government teS-
tilted that Phipps and Mccoy, seeking
to organize the mountaineers into an
army, offered $3.50 to a number of
men to join their forces, which We're
to destroy bridges, rob banks and
farms and divide the booty among the
"privates" of the army.

CHAPTER v.

Boroday had used his days freedom
to warn the band and to make plans
for regaining his freedom. OF money
he had none. What he had made under
old Hilary's leadership had gone back
to Russia, dollar for dollar. He had
financed part Of the Kiev defense Of
the Jews, had saved Prince Ovarsky
from Siberia. There were other things.
Money would save Boroday. And
there was practically no money.
By unanimous consent they kept the
news Of his arrest from Elinor.
1t was Talbot who planned the coun-
try club coup. The Russian was in jail
then, on a trumped-up charge. Old
Hilary dead and Boroday in jail-there
was no one to advise caution.
s.Boroday I'LL" Elinor exclaimed.
They were accounting for his absence
from her Saturday-night dinner. "Why,
then he should be here, where he con
be cared for"
"We told him that" Lethbridge was
always readiest with his tongue. But
he's not sick enough to need much,
and he's deucedly disagreeable when
he's laid up"
Elinor was little hurt.
In the arbor, after dinner, they
planned the robbery. Where old Hill
ary would have taken a month to think
and plan, they took minutes. There
was a ball at the club that night, the
last of the waning country-club season.
The entrance to the grounds was a
mile from the clubhouse-two iron
gates standing open between pillars,
and dense shrubbery all about. Talbot
would wreck his car there, driving into
one Of the gates. That would require
each departing car to slow down, prob
ably to stop.
The arrangement was that Talbot
