AS SLAYER OF GIRL
Man Held i'm Kentucky Jail Six
Months and No Date for
Hearing Is Set.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HEnALD.
LEXINGTON, Jan. 1d.-Has Robert
Sandlin, alleged murderer and outlaw of
Owsley county mountains. held in the
Fayette county Jail for safe keeping,
been forgotten by the law? Sandlin has
been in the local jail for about six
months and so far no move has been
made to take him back to Owsley county
for trial. His hearing was set for the
December term of court at Bonneville,
hut he is still in Jail here.
Sandlin is accused in one OF the most
unusual as well as sensational murders
ever committed in the history of violence
of kentucky hill crimes. 1t is alleged
that he shot to death Bessie Allen.
seventeen-year-o orphan. because she
betrayed Sandlin and a band Of reputed
nioonshiners to officers.
The killing occurred in June, 1920 A
band of moonshiners is claimed to have
operated on Upper Buffalo Creek, where
Bessie Allen made her home with the
family of Mrs. Ann Smith. The girl is
said to have furnished information
which resulted in the gang being broken
up.
Whether she had or not, six outlaws
suddenly appeared at the Smith home
one night in June, 1920. and demanded
Bessie Allen. The child tried to hide.
when the men announced that unless she
appeared and went into the woods with
them they would burn the house with
everybody in it.

Upon hearing this threat Bessie came

would. according to evidence adduced at
Gabbard's trial. SO into the denseness

one little trembling orphan girl Bessie
was crying as the men took her away
it was testified.
Three hours afterward the six men
came back carrying with them a bullet
riddled girl. dying. The Smith family
rad remained trembling in the house in
the meantime, and no effort apparently
had Deen made to rescue the girl The
chiid's body practically had been stripped
and the garments she retained were
soaked with blood
The Smith family then sent for Masis-
trate John Burns. He arrived Just be-
fore her death. taking her last state
ment. Between gasps for breath she
declared: They have ruined me and
killed me, too"
The entire Owsley county section was
aroused by the crime Grover Gabbard.
Robert Clark and Harlan Baker were
accused and their arrest followed Feel

RICHARD p. ERNST.

Promising his support in the effort,
Congressman Barkley of this district
wrote the following:
Washington, ID. c., May 81 1922.
Hos. 7. T. Swayne. Mayor,
Hickman, KY.
My dear Mr.. Swayne:
Your telegram of the 9Th, urging a
survey at Hickman with view to Sc
curing federal assistance in the con-
struction of a levee there TO protect the
city against future floods. was prompt
ly received.
1 Immediately took the matter up
with the Chief of Engineers of the War
department, and he advised that Con-
gresslonal action and Departmental ac-
ton here were unnecessary, in view of
the fact that under the Flood Control
Act, the Mississippi River Commission
has fuil authority in such matters with
In the limit of their appropriation.
Under the Flood Act. passed several
years ago, the Commission has COM
plefe control of the construction Of
levees on the Mississippi river, and does
not have to secure authority from
Congress for each specific project that
1t undertakes. The only limit it has
is the appropriation which Congress has
made available.
In view Of this, it seems the best
thing is to lay the matter before the
Commission, ask for survey at the
earliest possible date, and present them
the 1acts, which in my opinion ought
10 JUSTIFY favorable action on their part.
1 am writing to the Commission my
self, calling their attention to the Hick-
man situation, and asking them to pro-
vide for an early survey looking to the
construction of such levee as you sug-
gest. l shall be glad to render any as
sistance that / can to the people there
/ in securing favorable action by the
Commission, and / assure you that
whatever / can do will be done with
pleasure.
With kindest regards. and assuring
you OF my desire to serve you In any
way possible, / am,
Sincerely yours,
ALDEN w. BARKLEY.
From this il is understood that the
heartiest cooperation will be received
from our representatives in Congress,
and 1T Is hoped that they will lend their
every effort to the success Of the pro-

some action has already been secured

'o"ard building the sea wall along tho
h"er III front OF Hickman. This move
hieht was inaugurated at the last coun
ch meetlng, and kilograms were sent

Is as follows:
III appearing that when the Mississip-
pi reaches stage of SO feet at Hick-
man. kentucky, the water spreads over
the entire business section and parts of
the resident section of said town. and
tnat said waters have on several occa-
sions overlooked said section in the
past, resulting in damages to the prop
erty owners of thousands of dollars. and
mat said sections of saidscity have been
inundated TO depth of some four feet
Oh water, Milling all store buildings that
uepth, which remained for about eight
weeks, which has not only stopped bust
ness but has greatly and irrepa rably
ualnaged all buildings affected, and in
addition thereto has resulted in hun
ureus or thousands of dollars loss to
the merchants because of merchandise
ruined and Ii further appearing that a
sea wall of concrete can be erected at a
reasonable cost, which will protect said
town from overflow, due 10 the fact
that the length of same is not very
great; and it further appearing that
TINS condition has been brought about
and very greatly augmented by the con-
struction of government levees along
the Mississippi; therefore be it
resolved. By the City Council of |
hickman, KY, assembled in regular ses- |
sion, this, May 1, 1922. by unanimous |
vote, that steps be taken TO construct |
some kind of wall or levee between the |
town of Hickman and said river in or

er department, be urged to have "a sur
