escaped iroin the state penitentiary
last week, alter uiurderiug Warden
James Delahuuty and two deputies,
are dead as the result of a battle this
morning between the fugitives and
two pih.ses between (ireetna and
Springiield. Cornered in a barn, the
trio gave h.iitle wlili rifles and Gray
and Morely were slain. Seeing that
escape was impossible, Dowd shot
and killed hiniselt.
It Is reported that Sherifi Mc

battle and other members of the
posse wounded, but this lacks veri

Anybody could get along with an
Allen all right by "treating him on

with tho personal prerogative-
of an Allen of "doing as he

Helen of Terror Cited.
All the Aliens wanted was to be
allowed to mind their own business.
If anybody gave testimony against
them In a court of Justice he was a
meddler and It was up to him to get
the drop on an Allen tho next time
he met one.
The result was that It has been
next to impossible to get convicting
evidence against any of them: the
majority of the law-abiding citizens
have been so terrorized that they
most frequently pave character evi
dence In favor of t'-c Aliens when the
latter were arraigned for some al
leged crime.
Commonwealth Attorney William
Foster was the first man who ever
stood up In court and told the truth
about Floyd Allen. That was last
Thursday morning, and two days lat

ney, drilled In a half dozen places by
the steel-jacketed bullets from the

Over 10 detectives, deputies and

This will be a new region when
