V Hillsville, Ya., March 28.?Starving, sleepless and fatigued, Claude Swanson Allen, namesake of a United States ' senator, came out of the laurel thicket in the Blue Ridge today, pointed two six shooters toward the s'KT and gave J ^himself to the posse which, for nearly ; Tvn.Ci'L-e "hoc linnfoH "him I " V " liUkJ XI u U U XXIXXJ* KJXLIJJICL cent and almost happy, lie then sat, j sheltered from a driving storm by the little brick jail, a stone's throw from Carroll county court house, where, on March 14 the Allen gang killed the judge, the prosecuting attorney, the sheriff, a juror and a bystander. All day the posses, divided into small ' bands, have been following a trail thought to be that of Wesley Edwards, a nephew of the Aliens. Claude Allen, a son of Floyd Allen, who was the causp. of tie court house shootine. had ' been given up as having escaped. Detective Lucas and four men were working toward Floyd Allen's borne, when suddenly 25 yards or so off the Mount Airy road a figure creeping steathily through the undergrowth was dimly i seen through the mist which over- ; % hung the mountain slope. Close behind Lucas the other men brought 1 -f V) r? -ell mi 7 rl or?

"I haven't slept in a bed since ihe shooting. I'm hungry." The young mountaineer sswung in between the men of the posse and they started back to Hillsville. "I could have shot you," said Allen as he smiled and nodded toward De- i tective Lucas, "but I was a little excited at having you come upon me so soon. Anyway, I did not want to have ' to kill anybody," in the presence of a detective, young Allen described his own part in the court house tragedy, admitted that he had seen Sidna Allen shoot and that he himself had aimed for Clerk Goad's head four times. He told a graphic story of the assassination. "I don't know who started the shooting," said Allen. "After it began, I shot four times at Clerk Goad and aimed for his head every time. I saw Uncle Sidna shoot at somebody, but don't know who. "Wljen the shooting in the court house was over, I went outside and saw Uncle Sidna on the ground shooting at Goad, so I shot at mm, too. My brotner, vicxor, canea 10 me to stop, but I bad shot all my cartridges, Then we all went away." It developed that Allen was really taken in North Carolina, probably 150 rards over the line. The sortie wh'ch took the prisoner ivas directed by Detective Thomas L. j Pelts, who had obtained clues through } ;he efforts of the fugitives to get food.

Detectives declared one of the revolvers in his hands were used in the court house shooting. The boy talked freely on the long j journey over soggy roads back to Hillsville and by the time the party i reached the jail the drizzle had turn- j i ed to a downpour. The troop of horse- j ; men picked their way into a village of j j darkness where hardly a light was visible. Though the whole countryside had j learned by the "wireless" of the, Woodland country that another Allen j had been taken* there was 110 excite- ' ment. i The young fellow was put in charge of two armed deputies.
