Superin tendent Wood, of the State Peniten tiary, will issue invitations soon to the .12 men who will be asked to serve as the juryto legally witness the execu tion of Floyd Allen and his son, Claude Swanson Allen. They will be put to death next Fri day for the shooting of Commonwealth 1 Attorney W. M. Foster in the Hillis- ville court room on March 14, 1912. The jurymen are selected from the applications made from time' to time . and 00 e ti a . . . I a. .1 C4:u 10 promise mat no statement relative to the scenes in the death chamber will be given to the press. Usually the, jury is composed ol one or more preachers of the faith of the condemened man. relafivps if they desire to attend and prison authori- ' ties. No extra preparations will be made for the execution, which will be the first double execution of white persons in the history of the State. The younger man probably will go to the chair first. Governor Mann has been asked from to time to commute the death sen tences, especially that of Claude Allen, but after several public hearings in which counsel for the condemned men presented written statements for his consideration, the Governor on March 6 issued a complete statement review ing the case and cited the fact that the Supreme Cohrt of Appeals of Virginia had twice considered the case and re fused a new trial; that after careful consideration of all evidence in the case he could not interfere with the sentence of the Wythe County Circuit Court and fixed March 28 s the date of execution. Governor Mann described the shoot ing up ofhe Hlllisville Court house in Carroll county as "the greatest crime in the history of Virginia."' In. the shooting Judge Thorton L. Massie, Commonwealth's Attorney W. M. Fos ter and Sheriff Lew Webb were killed outright, while Juror Fowler died sev eral days later from wounds received.
