SIDNA ALLEN AMD
NEPHEW CAPTURED
Pupil In an aviation school In the
test tell 200 'feet and escaped unhurt,
loveral football coaches are said to
to looking him over.
Des Moines, Iowa: Sldna Allen,
leader of the Allen clan, which shot
up the Carroll County court house M
Hillsville, Va„ March 14, killing Judge
Massie and others, and his nephew,
Wesley Edwards, left hero Saturday
night en route to Virginia in custody
of officers as a result of love affairs
which led detectives to them. Both
announced their willingness to return
Virginia witihout requisition.
Edwards, for the love of whom Miss
Maude Iroler of Mounty Airy, N. C„
had innocently led detectives to Dee
Moines, was captured Saturday night
as he was returning to his boarding
house after having worked all day
with a paving gang. Just as he board-
ed a street car detectives and officers
surrounded it. Edwards was trying
to escape by crawling through the
front end of the car when the officers
caught him. The arrest of Sidna Al-
len was effected earlier in the day.
A visit by Edwards to Miss Iroler
in her Virginia home about a month
ago and the accidental loss of a let-
ter put the detectives on the trial.
The fugitives had been in Des Moines
since April 28. Allen, under the name
of Tom Sayre, worked as a carpen-
ter, and Edwards, under the name of
Joe Jackson, was employed with a
city paving gang.
Allen was arrested wt the home of
John Cameron, where he and his
nephew had been rooming, by Detec-
tives Baldwin, Lucas and Lundy of
Roanoke. The arrest was made a few
minutes after Miss Iroler stepped into
the Cameron home to meet Edwards,
whom she was toewed, according to
an arrangement made when he visited
Virginia. Lucas was at her heels. Al-
len was in an upper room. When in-
formed that visitors wanted to see
him, he came downstairs. As he did
so Detective Lucas covered him with
a revolver and asked him to surren-
der. Allen hesitated, then threw up
his hands, saying as he did so, “I
guess I'm your man."
Allen was handcuffed and placed
under guard of city detectives, while
Col. Baldwin and Chief Jennejr of the
local department went in search of
Edwards, who was said to be at work
in the western part of the city,
parently Edwards heard that his un-
cle had been captured, because he
was not to be found until night.
Sidna Allen talked freely of the
eVents of the last months, but declined
to say much concerning his move-
ments immediately after the tragedy.
He and Edwards remained in the
mountain country of Virginia and
North Carolina for about a month and
then got over into Kentucky, going
to Louisville, where they spent sev-
eral days. Their next stop was in
St. Louis, where they remained a
week. They had sufficient money for
their needs and traveled as first-class
passengers.
"I don’t know why we came to Des
Moines,” said Allen, “unless it was
that I thought we would be safer
here. Several years ago I was in the
Klondike and I figured that the offi-
cers would think I had gone back
there. So we came to Des Moines
and I got w’ork as a carpenter and
expected to remain here until it was
safe back home.

large tracts of iron ore lands leased!
in East Texas were in conference
with Gov. Colquitt in, reference to

of the company to build a smelter in
Northeast Texas, probably at Texar-
kana, in the near future. They have
spent over $200,000 cash in securing
options on iron one lands and esti-
mate that they now own 50,000,000

and dry holes up to this time are un-
known. The first oil sand was struck

good sand 400 feet deeper. The field
is about three miles wide and about
six miles long.
