SIDXA ALLEN GETS 35 YEARS.
Wesley Edwards Will S|?ond 27 Years
in Prison.
Wytheville, Ya., Dec. 11.?Final
settlement of all the cases resulting
from the killing of five persons in the i :
Hillsville, Va., court house by the Allen
clan on March 14, last, was reach- ,
ed here this afternoon when Sidna
Allen pleaded guilty to second degree (
tnurder for killing Sheriff Webb, and ,
? - tn !
vvesiey niawaras pieaueu gum; ^,
three charges pending against him.
Thirty-five years in the peniten- ]
tiary is the penalty Sidna Allen will
pay. Allen's nephew, Wesley Ed- (
wards, will spend twenty-seven years
in the penitentiary.
These two sentences were the result
of a compromise this afternoon,
following a verdict of voluntary man- (
slaughter in the case of Sidna Allen j
for the murder of Commonwealth's ,
Attorney William M. Foster, the jury .
fixing the penalty in that case at five ,
years' imprisonment. .
Compromises Agreed Upon.
Allen already had been found guilty
of second degree murder at a ,
~ j i mi; -i? t.. j,v/v i
former trial ior tne tuning ui juusc j
Massie. for which he had been sen- j
fenced to fifteen years in the penitentiary,
and the other indictment ,
pending against him, for the murder (
of Sheriff Webb, was compromised
by letting him plead guilty to second
degree murder and take a fifteen- j
year sentence, the combined sen- (
fences making thirty-five years.
Three indictments against Wesley
Edwards also were compromised, he (
taking a sentence of nine years' im- ,
prisonment on each. ,
In the second trial of Sidna Allen, ^
which ended to-day, nine of the ju- 1
rors on the first ballot stod for acquittal
and the other three for mur- j
der in the second degree.
Views of Jurors.
Following their discharge the jurors,
in an interview, declared that .
not one of them thought the evidence ,
presented by the State was sufficient- (
ly strong to sustain the charge of con- .
spiracy.
This ends, as far as the courts are
concerned, a tragedy which was with- ,
out parallel and which stirred the 1
country from one end to the other. ^
- * - * ' ~ x */r 1.
On the I4tn 01 lasi iviarcn, iuuuwius
the conviction of Floyd Allen, of an
offence which would have sent him to
the penitentiary for one year, members
of the Allen family, clannish
mountaineers, opened fire in the court
house on the court officials. At the
first volley Judge Thornton L. Massie
fell mortally wounded and when
the smoke cleared away Sheriff Webb
and Commonwealth's Attorney Foster
were found dead. On the following
day one of the three jurors who
were shot died of his wounds, as did
also Miss Bettie Ayres, who had been
a witness against Floyd Allen.
All Finally Caught.
Floyd Allen was arrested on the
day following the tragedy, being too
badly wounded to escape. The arrest
of the others implicated in the
shooting followed at various intervals,
the two men whose fate was decided
to-day having been the last
caught.
Of the six men who have been convicted
of complicity in the shooting,
two?Floyd Allen and his son,
Claude?are under sentence of
death, while the four others?Sidna
and Friel Allen, and Wesley and Sid no
?havp oach been given
lieb ?? MA VAN/ _ _
long terms in the penitentiary. Victor
Allen, a son of Floyd, was acquitted,
and Byrd Marion was discharged
because of lack of evidence
against him.
Father and Son Again Respited.
Richmond, Va., Dec. 11.?On the
statement of attorneys for Floyd Allen
and Claude Swanson Allen, that
newly discovered evidence is sufficient
to make the granting of a new
trial by the supreme court probable,
Gov. Mann this afternoon granted a
respite to the two men until January
17. They were to have died In
the electric chair Friday, of this
week, for their part in the Hillsville
murders of March 14, when Judge
T. L. Massie, Commonwealth's Attorney
W. M. Foster* Sheriff L. F.
Webb, Juror Augustus Fowler and
Miss Bettie Avers were killed. ?
The governor did not express an
opinion as to the new evidence, but
required the attorneys to sign a pa- 1
per stating that they nelieved it to be
material. An application will now 1
be made to the supreme court for a
rehearing on the petition for a writ
of error.
Girl Killed; Father Hurt.
Atlanta, Dec. 14.?Miss Carolina
Dubose, of Spring Hill, Tenn., received
injuries from which she died in a i
local hospital, and her father. \V. T.
Dubose, a department editor on the .
Atlanta Constitution, was badly hurt ,
when an automobile in which they 1
were riding was struck by a Louisville
& Nashville train near Cartersi
ville, Ga., late to-day. They were en (
route to the Tennessee town when .
the acident occurred. A sharp curve,
it is said, prevented the engineer of
the train from seeing the automobile.
CONFESSES TO THEFT
Young Express Messenger Tells How
He Stole $20,145.
Bakersfield, Cal., Dec. 15.?Marvin
W. Hamby, the 22-year-old express
messenger, whose car on the Sunset
Western train of the Santa Fe Railroad
was robbed of $20,145 in gold
near here last week, confessed today
that he had robbed the safe with
the aid of his 16-year-old brother,
Melvin.
The money which had been hidden
by the boys in a brickyard at Kern
Junction was recovered with the exception
of $300 which was found in
Melvin's room. Both brothers are in
jail.
The robbery was committed last
Monday night. After telling a story
Df an attack by two bandits who had
[aid him unconscious with a blow on
the head, the young messenger was
taken to a nospnai ai iau, v^ai.,
where he shammed injury so successfully
that not until yesterday was he
seriously suspected. Then he was
brought back here and to-day was
subjected to a "third degree" for five
hours by railroad and express detectives.
Breaking down finally, Hamby
threw his hands over his head and
sobbed out:
"Oh, I did it myself."
Then he told where the money was
Duried, how he had conceived the plan
3f the robbery and how he had carried
it out.
In his confession Marvin shouldersd
the entire responsibility for the
theft, declaring that although Melvin
had taken the bags of gold when he
had thrown them from the train and
buried them, the younger lad did
everything under his instructions. "I
knew my car was to carry a heavy
shipment of gold to the National
Bank of Taft about the 10th of the
month," said Hamby. "So I posted
Melvin at Kern Junction with instructions
to have a lantern and
shovel. As we passed Kern Junction,
three miles from Bakersfield, I heaved
off the bags of gold.
"Then I bumped my head against
i trunk to make people believe I had
been hit there by a bandit, and just
before the train pulled into Taft, I
sound -myself hand and foot and
rooted my head under a pile of mail
sacks. I was lying like that when
railroad men and a constable at Taft
?ame into the car."
The two boys agreed that they
cvould let the money lie buried until
excitement had abated and the man
bunt, which was immediately insti:uted
by county, city and railroad authorities,
had been given up.
Hamby had been express messenger
on the Sunset Western run nearly
i year.

V. E. W. Sistrunk Arrested for Shooting:
at a Greek.
Columbia. Dec. 11.?X. E. W. Sis;runk,
formerly of North, Orangeburg
county, but now of Georgia,
>hot at George Papas, a Greek fruit
render, last night in the Metropolian
cafe. The bullet went wild, and
Papas took his heels. Mrs. Sistrunk,
.vho was sitting at the table with her
lusband, snatched the pistol out of
lis hand, ran across the street to the
Columbia hotel and hid in their bed
"oom.
All three parties were arrested by
:he police. Mr. Sistrunk was charged
with assault and battery with in.ent
to kill. His wife and Papas both
lad the charge of disorderly conduct
opposite their names on the police
blotter.
To-day Sistrunk waived preliminary
hearing and was released on a
bond of $200. He was fined $40 for
carrying an unlawful weapon.
The cases against Papas and Mrs.
Sistrunk. both of whom were charged
with disorderly conduct, were dismissed
on the grounds that the testimony
would disclose Mr. Sistrunk's
iefense.
It is said that Sistrunk's motive
for shooting at Papas was that the
Greek cursed in the presence of Mrs.
Sistrunk. Also that he was attacked
by two Greeks before the pistol was
bred.
