IN DISCUSSION OVER - THE HILLSflLLE
COURTHOUSE TRAGEDY JOT WORDS PASSED
AND THEN THE FIGHT. -
M q u n t Ai ry , Ma rch 1 8 . r- A t a
Ijinely road, house near the Virgin
ia and North Carolina state line,
Jack Allen, the last of the famous
Allen clan, met his death this
tcorning at 1 o'clock as, the; result
of a bullet fired by an alleged
blockader, Will McCnivv. I
Will McCraw is reported i to be
a rough young man, a blockader,
now under indictment for violation
v)f the prohibition law. Hfe will,
doubtless be quiekly caught and
be given a fair trial in the'Hills
ville court, terrorized four years
ago by the Allen clan. -
On March 14, four years ago
the "shooting up" of the Hiljsville,
Carroll county, Va., court by the
Allen clan shocked the nation. Af
ter Floyd Allen was convicted by
the court on 4ie charge of tajdng
forcibly from the deputy Sheriff
his nephews. Yesley and 3'driey
Edwards, Judge Massie, heriff
Webb, Commonwealth Attorney
Foster, a Miss Ayers, and one of
L the jurors were shot and killed by
members of the Allen clan. It will
be remembered that the hunt foi
the gang was prolonged and final
ly Floyd Allen and his son, Claude
$wanson Aljen, were electrocuted.
tuuua niicii, tcaic,y juvvniua,
Friel Allen and Sidna Edwards
;v Jack Allen was a brother of
Floyd Allen, who died in the elec
tric chair along with his son,
Claude Swanson Allen.
The story goes that Jack had
never become reconciled to the
way tlje courts o Virginia, Imeet
ed out justice to the members of
his clan. He appeared to be defiant
in his attitude, and ready to resent
any suggestion that had a show of
reflection against any of his kins
men. ' , i
CslOWELL AUTO
Have Moved to the Handsome
New Building on Main Street.
On last Thursday the Crowell
Auto Co., distributing agents 'for
the Ford1 cars, moved in' to the
new building which Judge ass
has just erected for them on Main
street. We d9ubt if there is a
more handsome garage in the
State than the new h'ome of the
Ford's. It has a frontage of seven
ty feet, with a depth of about
ninety feet, three stories high,
finished in white pressed jbrick.
The office and show room is
finished in the best style, with tile
flooring, and the office handsome
ly furnished. The building is a
credit to the owner, Judge J. C.
Pass, and the fact that the! Ford
people have leased the entire build
ing shows the faith they , have in
Roxboro and Person County. The
manager, Mr. H. L. Crowell,-mov
ed here from Monroe and is a
gentleman of worth, a citizen the
town is proud of, and it is a fore-o-nnannflnsinn
that he will make
