THE FLOWER SHOW A SUCCESS.
The Display of Flowers Were Beautlful?Prizes
Were Awarded.
(Contributed.)
Upon Tuesday afternoon, May 7th,
1912, the Semi-Annual Flower Show
was given by the women of the Civic
league in League hall.
The hall was such a mass of gorgeous
bloom that it was quite a few
moments before it were possible for
the observer to take in all of the
beautiful details.
Hanging in the doorway was an
exquisite design <of a ball of flowers.
Immediately in front of the entrance
was a large, round table with smaller
tables surrounding it. These occupied
the central position and were a
mass of sweep peas. To the right were
the potted plants of all kinds and
slips for rooting, which were for sale.
Then came the vegetables such as asparagus,
lettuce, peas and so forth
emd alsV) a fine basket of prize strawbeiries.
All around the rest of the
room were masses of fernB, geraniums,
cacti and roses displayed in the
shelves one above the other. There
were also magnolias?the first of the
rear from the garden of Capt. Malloy.
Taking the display as a whole it
Is impossible to conceive of a more
beautiful sight.
The premiums awarded were as follows:
Best white rose. "American Beauty,"
Mrs. Kinsey.
Best pink rose, "Her Malesty," Mrs.
IfcLoughlin.
Best red fonts, Mrs. Kinsey.

FLOYD ALLEN CONVICTED.
Trial of Others Now In Progress,
Prisoner Defies Law.
Wythevllle, Va., May 17.?Floyd Allen's
jury today found him guilty ol
murder in the first degree. Death in
the electric chair is the penalty.
After a night of deliberation, which
at one time threatened a disagreement,
the Jury filed into court this
morning and delivered its verdict. Sentence
was deferred, as Allen may bo
called as a witness in the trials of his
kinsmen, who are also charged with
the five murders in Garrvil county
court court.
The other prisoners probably will
be tried immediately. Claude, Friel
and Victor Allen, Byrd Marion and
oiana upwards, are under indictment
for the murders, while Sidna Allen and
Wesley Edwards, two other members
of the gang, are still at large.
On the first ballot taken by the
jurors the vote stood ten for murder
in the first degree, and two for
murder in the second degree.
The verdict came as a distinct surprise,
as it was thought the jury was
hbpelessly divided. One of the twelve
men is known to have said previous
to being summoned for Jury that "you
can't always get justice/in courts and
maybe the Aliens Jlgjjte not far
wrong," airt the atfMKNk for the

fe in the express car and escaped.
The robbers did not molest the pasngers,
but one trainman received se3U8
injuries as he lay bound near
e safe when the dynamite blew it
pieces.
The two men boarded the flyer as,
owded with passengers, it was about
halt at Okolona to - take on water.
The safe was shattered and the bants
had an easy time collecting their
5t, most of which was government
nds consigned from New Orleans
r the East. After collecting his loot
id placing it in a leather hag, the
indlt who had done the dynamiting
Ined his companion. Then, warning
e train crew not to follow or to j ^
ve any alarm, they made off in the j
irkness.
Estimates as to the amount of the
>ot differ, ranging as high as $150,0.
Officials of the Wells-Fargo EXess
