The governor seems to be doing all tc
he can to block the investigation of 111
the dispensary committee appointed n
by the legislature. H. H. Evans tes- e]
tified before the committee last week ^
and said he would be glad to have
made public the letters written him
by T. B. Felder, but they were now P
in the hands of the governor, who w
refused to give them up to the committee,
saying that he would not turn 15
them over except upon an order from 01
a circuit judge. It is presumed the "
committee will take legal steps to r(
obtain possession of the letters. ?

V JUROR DIES OF WOUNDS. ai

Fifth Victim of Virginia Court House j n
r
Tragedy.
ji
Hillsville, Va., March 16.?The a]
machinery of the law adjusted itself h
in Carroll county to-day, when a s(
special grand jury, summoned yes- r(
terday by Judge Staples, returned lc
indictments of murder against eight
members of the Allen outlaw band,
who shot and killed the judge, prosecuting
attorney, sheriff and a girl ^
witness in the Hillsville court room n
\ on Thursday. One more victim was w
added to the list, when Juror Au- 01
gustus Fowler died this afternoon. c*
This brings the total number of dead w
up to five. k'
es
Prisoners to Roanoke Jail.
C(
Cheerful and apparently recovered
from his wounds, Floyd Allen, di- w
rectly charged with the murder of
Judge Thorn L. Massie, went to-night
under heavy guard, to Roanoke, w
where he will be placed in ^
- ? TT?_ TT1 -
jail tor sare-Keeping. ms son, vie- e]
tor, and Byrd Marion, jointly indicted,
went with him to the Roanoke
jail. The prisoner, whose sentence g]
for a minor crime led to the whole- c.
sale murder of court offic;als, did not
seem to be worried or alarmed over m
the situation. He reclined in a hack, sj
which was driven across heavy moun- ^
tain roads to Galax, where the party
boarde^ a special train. The other
prisoners remained in the' Carrol!
county jail, a heavy guard standing
by during the night.
Allen's Wife Still Alive. y
Completely without result was the ig
raid made this afternoon on the w
home of Sidna Allen, the erroneous
report of whose capture was sent
yesterday to Gov. Mann by his chief c,
detective and the attorney general. tl
His wife was not killed. Detectives q
and constables and Roanoke militia- f(
men viaitoH thA Allpn homo on the ~
mountainside, but found neither the w
owner nor members of his family on
the premises. Not much information C]
was gained from the caretakers.
Conflicting reports come from the
mountains*as to the route taken by
the outlaws when they raced away
from Hillsville.
Expect Climax Soon. il
In the village to-night there is in- B
tense excitement, the feeling being g
general that the next twenty-four t(
hours may bring a climax to the ii
reign of terror which has prevailed o
since Thursday forenoon. The f<
special term of court was adjourned ti
to March 26, at which time the pris- b
oners will be put on trial. State li
troops will be sent here to preserve tl
order and to prevent a repetition of o
that tragic event which wiped out A
th# entire court. All members of tl
the Allen band arrested in the mean- r;

"You, gentlemen," said Judge Sta- She

ho faced the bench, "have been otvorn
to inquire into an affair that por
i not only more distressing and huliliating
than any other thing that J

Judge Staples assured the grand did
irors that in their deliberations, p,ou
