Death in the electric! ?nair is the penalty. \fter a night of deliberation v hich at one time threatened a I'isagrpement. the jury filed into rou’t this morning and delivered iis verdict. Sentence was de ferred, as Allen may be called as n witness in the trials of his kins men who are also charged with |v,e nve murders in Carroll court at Hillsville on March 14, when the Allen gang swooped down out of the Blue Ridge and ^11 out Tft'iped out the human fabric of the institution. Clerk Goad was the only official who escaped. A sparsely filled court room heard the end of the trial.' Some thought that fear of an ..outbreak; such as marked the adverse ver dict at Killsville might be seen tt^ay. It was impossible, how ever. Officers searched all who entered the room. The other prisoners probably be tried immediately. Claude, Friel and Victor Allen, Byrd Marion and Sidna Edwards pre under indictment for the mur ders. while Sidna Allen and Wes ley Edwards, two other mem bers of the gang, are defying capture in the fastness of the Blue Ridge. When court oi^ned today the jury was called in and the fore man questioned by Judge Staples. The jurors declared there were a number of points of difference existing in the panel and it was doubtful whether a verdicc could be reached. J udge Staples de clared the case was one of much n'.agnitude, he felt he must send the jury back with a few word.s ‘ of caution and advice. He said when a number- of men were , thrown together in intimate iso lation for a long period of time, with all their thoughts and at tentions centered upon one mat-; er, it v^as but natural there | should be a tendency to different views and positions. Along with | this tendency, he said, there was another tendency of the human mind to fix deep rooted in ones mind unwarranted opinion in an ‘ earnest effort to convince others. , Judge Staples declared the ju ry had not been sworn to do oth er than to reach one conclusion— the guilt or innocence of the ac cused. He said if the jurors lost I sight of that issue in any private' individual opinion, they would do v.Tong to themselves, an unin tended violence to their solemn obligation and grave injustice either to the commonwealth or the accused. The jury again retired and it was but a short time before an nouncement was made an agree ment had been reached. When court reassembled the foreman the verdict of “guilty as charged in the indictment.” Judge Staples held that was not the proper form. The fore man then explained that the verdict was one of guilty in the first degree, the penalty being electrocution. , Floyd Allen was charged spe cifically at this time with the murder of Commonwealth’s At torney William M. Foster, prose cutor in the Carroll county court house at Hillsville last March v.nen the trial of Floyd Allen criminated in the killing of five persons—Presiding Judge Thbrn- ton L. Massie, Prosecutor Willi am M. Foster; Sheriff L. F. ’Vebb: Miss Elizabeth Ayres and J'^ror Augustus Fowler. The news of the shooting up of the ^ourt created a sensation and a thrill of horror throughout country. , The tragedy created a panic in little mountain side town of Hiiisvilie where the inhabitants ni''.ays held the Allen clansmen fleadly terror. Arrests of Q+- Allens followed the ^-''looting, but five of the princi- escaped to the mountains, f-'^v. ards for their arrest resulted three of them being taken, Sidna Allen, leader' of the and Wesley Edwards, his f;-:'phe\v, still are at large. i nm other prisoners, it is ex- 1-:cr(id, will be tried immediately the first ballot taken by the the vote stood 10 for mur- in the first degree and 2 for ^iurder in the second degree. vote remained practically J^^5c-iarjged until Judge Staples '•aci addressed the jurors again '-!!s morning after they had an nounced they were . unable to ^ '^ch an agreement. , A he verdict came as a distinct surprise as it was thought the was hopelessly divided, '-’ne of the twelve men is known to have said previous to being summoned for jury duty that you can’t always get justice i* courts and maybe the Allens were not far wrong,” and the attorneys for the commonwealth had made axrangements to arrest him on a charge of per- j»ary should he bring' about a disagreement. This morning he agreed'to a verdict. The con! monwealth announced a changt f the'plan of trying Claud ai a Victor Allen jointly and That they would next take up the case of Claude on the in dictment charing him with the murder of Judge Mwsie. The trial will begin Monday and a venire of men has been summon ed from which it is hoped to get a jury, withoijit a)l the delay ex perienced in the trial just com pleted. In discharging the jury today Jud^e Staples thanked them for their patience and promised that none of them would be called upon to do jury duty for tvfro years. Attcfraeys for the defendant announced after court adjourned that they would ask for a writ of error. The char^ delivered by Judge Staples this morning was said, touching on points upon which the Virginia Court of Ap peals had never passed. * The prisoner’s wife sat beside him. She was dressed in .black and wore a large poke-bonnet so that her face could not be seen. Allen seemed brighter this morning than on yesterday, evi dently expecting a mistrial, but he was the picture of despair when the verdict was read. “Floyd AUen Got Fair Trial.” Bristol, Tenn., May 17,— “Floyd Allen got a fair trial,” declared Judge N. P. Oglesby, who returned to Bristol this af ternoon after spending three weeks in defense of the Carroll county clansmen. “Judge Stap les was fair to the defense thoroughout.” Judge Oglesby said that a writ of error woiild at once be asked. Under the Virginia prjic- tice an appeal does not come as a matter of right but only by per mission of the higher court after it has considered the grounds for appeal. Judge Oglesby said that Floyd Allen*B case was prejudiced by the fact that during the trial he was so heavily guarded as to give the impression to the jury that he is a desperado that even though his leg is broken, is likely to shoot another court. Judge Oglesby is more hopeful of saving young Claud Allen, whose trial will be begun Satur day. C V. SELtARS ART STORE, .BURLINGTON, N.

According to the article in the Jaue W oman’s Home Companion, the proprietors of five of Boston’s largest department stores are sending a number of their sales girls to attend courses in a school of salesmanship. According to the article, the girls go three hours a day for five days a week and receive full pay for the time thus occupied. Following is an extract from the article. “In many instances the stu dents, after completing the course have received higher wag es, some having been advanced from six to twelve or fifteen dol lars a week. Some have become buyers for departments. The girls are instructed in the busi ness arithmetic and in the use of sales slips and like devices; in textiles, color, and design, so as to be prepared to give intelligent aid to a customer, and also in hygiene. Representatives of the cooperating stores give lectures on methods of selling and on store problems. The students are in turn required to make practice sales of goods in the classroom to teachers and visi tors, while this others take notes and criticize, “Practical talks on many sub jects are given with the purpose of arousing a feeling of responsi- bihty, instilling a regard for system and attention to details, encouraging the development of pleasing personality,' suggesting the best uses of leisure time, and# in general, setting higher stand ards, opening new vistas, ^d by stimulating and liberating the minds of the students, helping them to become not only abler saleswoman, but also better, br«der, happier women.” Why you worry on that ironing day?
