serious handicap to the existing com?
pany in tho extension ot their busi?
ness, and would eventually become an
a-idHlonal burden on the community.
Should Lay Doitu Policy.
Your subcommittee d?em these vari?
ous questions of the greatest Im?
portance, and respectfully suggest
tiiat It la time for this city to lay
down a well defined policy, not only
as a protect'on to Invested capital,
but as a protection to tho community
as well, from the unnecessary duplica?
tion of plants of public utilities and
the resultant burdens.
Authorities and records have been
produced before your sutocomTliltti
wh'ch show conclusively that the
trend of public thought and decision
Is unanimously to the effect that p lb
llc utilities constitute natural mono?
polies, and that competition should
never be permitted unless made rp < I S.
eary by reason of excessive rat? i 01
lnadquatc service and the inability of
the government to require fait pr'ce
and efficiency. The experience of our
own city an well as of many others
brought to the attention of your sub?
committee shows that such competi?
tion Inevitably results In the duplica?
tion of expenditure. In ultimate mer?
ger, and consequent burden perma?
nently saddled upon the community.
These considerations warrant your
subcommittee in suggesting that the
general committee go fully into the
question of the advisability and pro?
priety of granting any competing
electric light and power franchise
whatever, under the conditions ad?
mitted and shown to exist In this city.

the prisoner. Mrs. Allen constantly
rolled n handkerchief In her hands, and
In r Worn face, marked by the unmis?
takable lines of suffering, awakened
tin- cvVnpasslon of everybody.
At last, at 5:30 O'clock there was a
knock on the- door of the jury room.
Everybody scurried to his place, and
there were frantic motions by tho
n> wspaper men who had visions of ex.
tia e lltlons.
Slowly tue jurymen Aled Into their
scats.
"Gentlemen," Inquired Judge staples,
'have you agreed upon a verdict?"
Rising from Ins seat. Foreman Charles
13. Nelms replied: "We have not."
? "Are there any Instructions upon
which you deHlr* the expressions of
the court'.'" asked the Judge.
Juior W. T. WHIams arose. "I
shouid Ilk.' to know." he asked. "If
wo can llnd a verdict In th's case of
murder of the first degree or acquit?
tal?"
"Of course, you may." replied Judge
Staples. "You have Instructions de
i,n.ni; th" presumption of murder, in
addition, every murder with a deadly
weapon in the previous possession of
the slayer, without provocat'on or
with slight provocation. Is prlma

Attorney lt. 1J. Willis pressed the
Toini that * verdict of any degro? of
KUilt from manslaughter up to ilrst
degree, might be returned. Judge
; .-tatdes Inquired If thire was any
other matter which any Juror d'slred
. to present, and, receiving no reply,
Instructed Sheriff Davidson to tak^?
the jury back to Its room.
I'ur'ng this ordeal the prisoner was
plainly nervous. He smoothed one
side of his face, a/id then the other,
with different hands. In a manner
which showed his deep concern. His
palms were clasped when the foreman
announced that no verdict had been
reached
At C:!0 Judge Staples ordered the
Jury brought before him. "I under?
stand." he said, "you have not as yet
reached a verdict."
'?Wie have not," replied Foreman
Nelms.
"Court." said the Judge, "will be ad?
journed to 8 o'clock."
At the night session another larsre

, 7ak"s op his argument where he
left It off Wednesday afternoon, Mr
\ysor said that when Floyd Allen
ottered hi, rebellious words in th"
Carroll courtroom Sheriff Webb was
really too conservative in his actions.
He should have filled the prisoner full
of bullets from his automatic revol?
ver.
Hieb, tribute was paid to tho cour?
age of Dexter Goad. Had it not been
for the clerk, said Mr. Wysor. the
..llbrrs would have been shot up like
wild beasts. He termed Goad the
j "brave mnn of the occasion." Wounded,
I the cleik tired at the assailants, and!
had he not followed them, there was
no t.-iiing what live.? might not have
! been taken. "Vet," he commented,
"counsel for the defense criticize and
abuse him because he tried to save
; lives."
j "Vet the attorneys for the prisoner,"
I continued Mr, Wysor. "say that the
: women of Wythe come here to sym?
pathize with the prisoner. Never, un
; til they become Unsexed. If they have
admiration, it is for a man like Des-;
I tcr Goad. Floyd Allen does not think
Goad Intended to shoot him?there
was no reason why he should have
done so. That testimony was Intro-1
; duced to show anger and so lower the
j offense." ('
Next he took up tr/- John Moore.,
'story, to the effect that Goad Offered
to "fix" Floyd Allen's Jury favorable
to Allen if the latter would support
I him politically. Had such a proposi?
tion been make, argued tho speaker.
, the prisoner could have complained to '
the court, or could have gone to Goad
himself. "Had It been made," he as?
serted, "it would have been accepted, '
Had Floyd Allen been acquitted by a
pricked Jury, he would have deserted
; Goad In the ensuing election. If Webb
j wns living the prisoner would have

j he picks Goad because he is alive, and .
' so that his counsel may discredit the !

An Appeal to Reason
According to the last National Census the population of Richmond increased 50 per cent, in
the decade from 1900 to 1910. So there arc several thousand people living in Richmond to-day
who did not live here ten years ago. Those who did live here in 1902 and prior to that year will
have no difficulty in remembering that the street railway service and the electric lighting service
provided by the several companies then existent could not compare in efficiency and adequacy
with the excellent service that is now provided by the Virginia Railway and Power Company.
For many years prior to 1902 competition in these public utilities made good service impossi?
ble. When a planter and all his men have to devote all their time and thought and energy to
battling with an enemy, how much cultivation, think you, will his fields receive?
Now application has been made by a corporation known as the Richmond and Hcnrico Rail?
way Company for certain new franchises to build and operate in Richmond street railway lines and
to engage in the electric light and power business in direct, unnecessary and unfair competi?
tion with the Virginia Railway and Power Company.
We tell you very frankly that the Virginia Railway and Power Company is unalterably op?
posed to the granting of those franchises?on good and REASONABLE grounds.
We are going to tell you in this way through the newspapers (which is the best method we
know of) why YOU, through your representatives in the City Council, should oppose the
granting of those competitive franchises?not alone or even primarily because they would be
unfair to this company, but from the far more important consideration of your own enlightened
self-interest?the best interest of all the people of this city.
We respectfully ask your thoughtful consideration of the facts, figures and argument's we
shall place before you. The only appeal this company makes to you, the people of Richmond,
is an appeal to REASON.
COMPETITION IN, PUBLIC SERVICE HAS BEEN PROVED BY THE EXPERI
ENCE OF BOTH EUROPE AND AMERICA TO BE A DISMAL AND WASTEFUL FAIL
URE, FOR WHICH THE PUBLIC ALWAYS HAS TO PAY?AND PAY DEARLY.
W hy should Richmond now go back to that wasteful condition from which she emerged ten
years ago?
We shall have more to tell you about this in to-morrow's paper.
Virginia Railway and Power Company,
William Northrop, President.
Service Talk No. 1,
May 17, 1912.
? tempting to show that Judge Masslc
j had given him permission to carry a
pistol. Then he took up the court
. room scene, tlrst asking the jury, so
I far as this case is concerned, to eli?
minate consideration of Bird Marlon,
who has not been shown by proof as
yet adduced to have taken part In the
shooting. All the other accused men,
he pointed out, took their places?
Claude where he could cut oft Judge
Massie*s retreat?and so arranged that
they could not injure each other by
cross-fire.
The place, the arrangement, the time,
th< means, the motive, were- all present
to show conspiracy, continued Mr. U'j -
sor, All were armed. Tompklns and
Fowler had seen Victor Allen with &
pistol, although he himself had denied
having one. All ilred. with the possi?
ble exception of Sldna Kdwards. Frlel
Allen shot at Foster while the latter
was trying to gel out of the door, he
said, because he knew the Common?
wealth's attorney had been picked out
to be slain.
tin the other hand, all the officers
needed their pistols and should have
bad them. More of the. deputies should
have been armed, and would have been
fully Justified..
The evidence iwas treated In detail?
h'aw Judge Massle said Sldna Allen
shot htm, an<i how Judge Holen saw
Claude Allen tire the first shot at the
judge. Then the latter turned and
ivltncsscd the tiring of another by
Sldna. Then the mutinous conduct of
the prisoner and the alarm of the Jury?
men, who fled at once, fearing what
was coming.
As a result there was no court left
to sentence Floyd Allen and to send
him to jail. He had done what ho
threatened?"shot a hole In the court."
Preston Fowler said that Floyd Allen
had his pistol out before any shots were
fired: Then Floyd left the courthouse
and kept up his murderous attack on
Jurors Early and FaddIs. He shot
.Tutor Cain while the latter was seek?
ing safety. And he shot Miss Aycrs.
II > matter at whom he was shooting.
Xo It luht to It el rent.
"Floyd Allen." said Mr. Wysor. "hart
no right to retreat. He had been pro?
nounced guilty of a felony by a Jury.
11 the other Aliens fired to ?iefend
Floyd, why did they run, and not faco
ths law?"
Many points In thn evidence of Vic?
tor and Claude Allen were pointed tp
as showing they went on the stand to
tell what was the. truth.
"Floyd Allen," he said, "has shot him?
self away. If his Bona receive tlra
death penalty, ho will have shot them
a'way. lie hits ahot away his own and
his brother Sldna's property.

for her wayward sons, har loyalty to
her husband, whom she follows to the
tomb, would touch any heart. Had her
husband and her eon,H desired to honor
her they should have kept out of this
trouble. Their act will leave her alone
with her honor and virtu? amid the
hills of Carroll county. We cannot
show mercy here. Wculd to God we
could.
"Mercy? Show mercy to a man who j
shot down the Judge and the Common?
wealth's attorney and the sheriff and |
the juror's because they found him
guilty of a felony! Tlrise murders;
must be avenged. Society demands It;
civilisation demands it Not only this
State, but the nation and the world, de- i
in,ml it. Vou are In tho limelight, In
the tierce light that beats upon a
throne. Thera Is nothing here on which
to hang a Jury?the evidence Is t?o
convincing.
"It la foolish to undertake to shoot
down the law. It cannot be done.
Blessed be the law. Down with anar?
chy! Down wiih efforts to shoot up
the judiciary'. Long live the law and
Hod save this Commonwealth:"
