Evidence in the case of Floyd
Allen, on trial here for^the
der of prosecutor William M.
Ppster in the Hillsville courthouse
last March, was completed today.
Allen hiniself went on the wit
ness stand today, and testified in
his own beli^lf. He charged that
Sheriff Webib fired the first shot
and that he was wounded before
he attempted to draw his revolv
er, Allen stoutly denied that he
shot at any one inside the court
building except Deputy Shenff
Quesensberry. It was Quesen^
berry who fired the shot which
brought him down, Allen declar
ed. He fired only two other
times, he raid, and these were
aimed at Clerk Goad when he was
in the street.
Allen was emphatic in his de
nial that there was any conspir
acy among the Allen clanBmen to
shoot up the court. He ailso de
nied that at any timfe previous to
the tragedy he had threatened
the court. ,
Insisting that Sheriff l^ebb and
Clerk Goad both shot at him be
fore he, Allen, reached for hio
pistol, the prisoner said: “I hap
pened to sea Clerk Goad wink at
Sheriff Webb and -I saw bot h of
them -take out their revolvers.
Just then I rose from my chair
and said: ‘Gentlemen, I’m not
a-going,’ I had a paper in my
hand and started to put it in my
inside coat pocket. Then Sheriff
Weob fired.Y He missed me.
Clerk Goad fired next, hitting me
in the hip.”
Instructions to the jury were
argued before Judge Staples this
afternoon after the court had ad
journed, The attorneys will be
gin their argument before the
jury on Monday morning and it
is expected the case will be plac
ed in the jury’s hands by Monday
night.
