Sheriff, States' Killed. Attorney Hillsville, Va., March 14.— Eighteen outlaws of the Blue Ridge Mountains today participa ted in an unprecedented crime vjere. They attempted by assas sination to wipe out all the offi cers of the law in this, the coun ty seat of Carroll county. ^ Nine of these men are still in Hillsville* heavily armed and de fying the residents. The list of the dead is as fol^ Judge Thornton L. Masie, shot three times. Sheriff L. F.

Dexter Goad, clerk of the court, shot once in trying to ^ rest pistol from Allen. liie scene of the wholesale murder was the quaint little old- fashioned red brick county court house. There had been repor^B thiit an attempt might be made to lescae Floyd Allen, who him- geli aad aided & prisoner friend recently to escape from the coun ty officers. The trial had been in progress for several days, howev^T, without any indi^tion becoming public of the carfefully planned plot of the Allen broth- I ers and their associatas. Floyd Allen had been foimd guilty and had called for sen tence today. The stuffy little courtroom, with its coal stiave and crude furniture, w»a ed. Sidney and Jack Allen weyrfe among the first arrivals and i^;«^re seen to take their placra hear rail marking the prisoner and counseis^sngod « the case. Standing nearby were a number of their associates and friends from the Blue Ridge Mountains. Judge Massie went about a enclng cf tl e prisoner ia^ luaual matter of fact w»y, lb ithe words “one year at hard la- fbor" had scarcely passed his lips I when there came the crack o! a revolver. In an instent this was followed by a volley of shots and the I judge, who had partly risen at j the first shot, lay dead and bleed- I ihg on the bench. Comnioii- I wealth’s Attorney Foster was I sitting directly in front of the I bench and was next to succumb I to the well-directed shots of the suddenly turned outlaws, who ^d taken what they deemed justice into their own hands. The brothers and their frie!ids I must have been well armed, for lit seemed to spectators who es caped from the bloody courtroom, that fully one hundred shots were fired. In the first fusilllade several jurors had been wounilied, IBlankenship probably fati;lly. jShejrifi Webb, using his owrii; re- jvolver, made for the prisofler, jwho had joined in the shooting, pith an oath, and a declaiiition ■that he would never go to jail, put the oflficer was stopped by a perfect hail of lead and crumi:>Ied |into a lifeless heap on the floor. By this time the shooting in tile courtroom had become gen eral and there was a wild msh M the unarmed for windows and loors, Dexter Goad, clerk of the wurt, received a bullet wourd in peneck. The Allens, including the pi;is5- jner and their friends, after the uliing of the sheriff, ba.cked Movyly out of the courtrooin, jwlding all would-be pursuers in l^neck at the point of revol vers. Jnce outside, some of them made dash for the mountains on jiorseback. The others engaged In a pitched battle with a polsse. ^’lovd Allen is lying in a hotel [pom suffering from two giin- |not wouiids in his stomach and in his side, and a broken leg. leg was broken as a result of Peing trampled upon by infuriat- R spectators who witnessed the [nooting. Following the eKicape Jackson and Sidney Allen, pursued by the only remaining ^loyd Allen was fernov- p to the hotel room where his j heavily arined, l^nds guard and threatens to inoot anyone who attemps toen- his father’s room. The mounded man refused the aid of and it is believed he die before morning. Special ofiicers arfe being rusTi- ed into tt^e county to help in running down the murdererti. Governor Mann is holding two comoanies of miiitiai in readiness in cas0 the Allens and their friends^ gather recruits in the mountain fastness. The village was thrown into a feament. The wiping out of the law officers l^ft affairs in the hands of untrained citizens but r early every man in this section of the county has joined in the hunt. The cause of today’is assina-; tions dates back to last fall when a deputy sheriff airested a pep-^ new of Floyd Ailfert 6^ chipi^e of illidt diatilUngi Enroute to; jail A116n iritferfe^jpted the’sfaenff'arid beat him into'ih^ii^ibility the butt of a pistol and brass dead he spirited the pnwner a- feensifed him; i Mien Was on tnartoday for the assult. At the December term of eourt Judge Massie was irif(^ied'%at the leu the^^urt tbien bnttpanc? ed that he, vould , have, ^llep brought to justice if he had to go out of the county to get men to arrest him. Friends of Judge Massie warned him then that his words were indiscreet and thathis life wa^iii'j^pardy. Al>r len Was n^veri^ite^ted, biit fur* nished bond for his appearance at this term of the court, being tried yesterday and sentenced pronounced today. Richmond, Va “Rather than March 14.— indicate a fear of lawbreakers by sitting on the bench with ,a weapon in my pocket, I prefer to be killed in the administration of justice,” was the statement made by Judge l!4assie only last night to a friend who urged him to take steps for his own protection agmnst, the Ikwless element hes Tiad delei*- mined to bring to.justice. Com monwealth’s Attorney Foster said this ^mrnihg juist before he walked ii^ tile court^rc^jin that it would probably be his last day ^n mrth. It ^jifas expected trcKibie would follow the fi^tider- ingof a verdict if the jury should ctiraVict. n-eei» Eftm'iiuiuiu tion at any place that is mos.t c >n- venient to him.

This announcement is made in compliance with that promise. For fifty years we have had in the county and in the state a pu blic school system. This system through rude and undeveloped uii‘uufe;n much of its history, has iuue iiiuch for general progress uM common uplift. It has done i great work in the past and it is destined to do much more in the future. One thing that has been lacking in the past has been ex actness in its scope. There was no end to it and hence no end to be reached by the student- The student either went till he got tired or got married or got too old. But as for reaching the end this he did not and could not hops for because there was no end to be reached. Such a system was void of definite aim and hence incom plete. In order to give finish to our system, to set a goal to be reached, and an incentive to the student to finish and complete the work of the course, and to fix a standard and to give credentials for entering our State High Schools, we institute the follow ing plans and policy: For all students of the county who have completed the Public School course examinations will be held on the last Saturday in March or March 30th at the following places: Maywoood, Cross Roads (In Pleasant Grove Township) Havv- fields, Spring, Sylvan, Friendship and in the Superintendents office at Graham. These examiriation will be uni form for every place and wiU be based on the Public school stud ies which are as follows:—' spelling, reading, writing, arith metic, drawing, language, eng- lish grammer, geography. North Carolina history, U. S. history, Civil government, Ajpiculture, Physiology jind:®Ey»»ie.
