* Trial of Others Now in Progress.:
Prisoner Defies Law.
Wytheville, Va., May 17.?Floyd Al,,
ien's jury today found him guilty of
v murder in the tirst degree. Death in
c the electric chair is the penalty.
After a night of deliberation, which
, at one time threatened a disagrecr|
niont. the jury filed into court this
j i ...uiiiiiik anu ueuvcrea us verdict. Sentcncc
was deferred, as Allen may bo
1 called as a witness in the trials of his
' kinsmen, who are also charged with
r the five murders in Carrvil county
- court court.
i The other prisoners probably will
J be tried immediately. Claude, Friel
and Victor Allen, Byrd Marion and
Sidna Edwards, are under indictment
i for the murders, while Sidna Allen and
- Wesley Edwards, two other members
5 of the gang, are still at large.
On the first ballot taken by tho
, jurors the vote stood ten for murs
der in the first degree, and two for
- murder in the second degree.
t The verdict came as a distinct eur'
prise, 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 nlwnvo *- -
