MARTINsBURG. W. VA. EVENING JOURNAL

made, Rev. Pierce said over the
long distance telephone, last even
ing, that Allen had been making
moonshine at his cabin back on
Fish Creek. A search and seizure
warrant for his place was secured
from Justice Crow, and Captain
Phillips was asked to go to Gamer
on and lead the raiding party upon
Aliens place.
Phillips, with six Cameron men,
slipped quietly to the scene and de-
seconded upon the place. A few men
are said to have made a hasty exit
upon the approach Of the raiders,
and about all that could be seen
was one farmer, apparently a pref
ty good sort Of chap, sitting in a
room calmly slipping moonshine.
Brought Up BY Rifle
With his usual alarcity, Phillips
stepped through the partly open
doorway, only to be brought up
sharp by the muZzle OF a Winches-
ter pressed hard against his heart.
The forefnger Of Charley Allen was
on the trigger, and in his eye, the
officer saw determined CLEAN that
looked like business.
Alone in the room by this time
with the man at the other end Of
the rifle, captain Phillips saw in no
time that his chance was slim, but
he was determined he would land
his man.
What d'ya mean, pullin' that
gun? You wouldn't shoot nobody"
snapped Phillips at Allen and the
officer stared his man straight In
the eye. For some reason, Allen
did not pull the trigger and Phil
lips in an instant brushed aside the
gun and seized his man.
Allen was manacled and taken

before Squire Crow at Cameron
and committed to jail for a hearing
in default Of bond. Rather than take
chance on having the prisoner es-
cape from the Cameron lookup,
Phillips removed him to the Mar
shall county Jail at Moundsville.
A small quantity Of moonshine IL
quor was found in Aliens cabin
This was confscated.
Speaking Of why he didn't shoot
Captain Phillips" said ReY. Pierce
last night. ALLEN said after his ar.
rest, If Phillips hadn't looked at
me the way he did, he sure would
have been a goner.'"
Allen Served Time
Allen is said to have served a
twelve-year term in prison for
shooting man, and is much feared
In the locality where he is alleged
to have been operating his moon

alone with him and he could have
killed me. But ] wasn't there with
the intention of being killed"
Rev. Pierce, relating the incident,
declared: at was only the supreme
nerve and will power Of Captain
Phillips. I firmly believe, that saw
ed his life. He was in desperate
corner If ever a man was and his
deputies could not have saved him.
Allen was ready to fire, but the cool
steady gaze Of Phillips brought a
wavering in his decision and enab-
led the deputies to get close enough
to cover Allen
Allen has been out Of the state
prison in Moundsville just about
two years, having served a twelve
year sentence there for shooting up
a neighbor man, wounding him pref
ty severely.
