SANY JOIN IN THE HUN fiillsville Awaits News of Battle Believed Imminent — All Eager for Vengeance. HILLSVILLE, Va., March 19.— Wrapped in a mountain den, sur- founded by a wide circling, endless chain of troops and trailed by a big foree of armed detectives and moun- taineers, the Allen gang of outlaws have taken their last stand for a life and death fight. The outlaws have taken refuge on Squirrel's Spur in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and all of to- day the pursuers have been pressing closer and closer on the hiding place. The original force engaged in the hunt has been largely augmented by Airy, N. C., and other places. The capture of the band seems imminent. Interest shifted from the Devil's Den vicinity to Squirrel’s Spur late yester- @ay when a large posse which had been gcouring the mountains on the North Carolina side barely missed catching ‘Wesley Edwards, a nephew of the older Allens, at his cabin, eight miles east of Sidna Allen's home. Edwards es- eaped through a back door. His sister told the officers that Sidna Allen, suffering from a severe wound, had been at the cabin during the day and had told Wesley to meet him at Squirrel's Spur last night. Taking Fd- Wards's trail, the posse followed him to the rendezvous, arriving near foot of the cliff about 10 o'ek @aring to do more in the darkness, the Getectives placed themselves to prevent the possibility of an escape and walted NEWS OF ATTACK EXPECTED MOMENTARILY, ‘News that they have moved a @he Allens {s expected momentarily Mrs, Sidna Allen, when seen to- at the home of Steven Williams, @ mile from her r been closed since Thurs had no idea where her husband ‘When told that Floyd Allen was alive she expressed regret. “Z have no iden where Sidna went he left me Thursday.

Important developments in the Rosal- sky bomb myetery created a fever of} excitement around Police Headquarters this afternoon. Many additional de- tectives were put on t” case and it was reported that Commissioner Dougherty and Inspector Hughes had suddenly come into possession of im- portant {nformation, A citizen is sald to have volunteered the information that on a cert oc casion, not long ago, he heard two men speaking about “blowing up’ Judge Rosaleky and one of the men said he hoped the Judge's head would be) blown off. Whether the volunteer wit- ness gave ny line on the identity of| the men making the threats was not learned. Post-Office Inspectors Jacobs and James spent some time at Headquarters with Dougherty to-day. The Post-Oftice Department {e interested in the case be- cause the bomb reached Judge Rosalsky by mat 1. Halt a dozen experts in explosive and electricity conferred with the police to- day and cxamined the remal: 5 of the Rosalsky bomb and also what is left of the bomb that killed Grace Taylor six weeks ago. Experts from typewriter companies examined the addresses on both the bombs. Judge Rosalsky sald to-day he con- sidered the incident closed so far as any personal investigation was con- cerned, "The police are fully capable of handing the situation, and while IT am ready to give them any ald in my power In the way of having old records of my trial cases looked up and so on, I do not feel called upon to pursue a personal investigation." Asked !f he had received any new letters throwing any light on the mys- tery, the Judge said: “L have received several hundred let- ters since Saturday, but all have been from friends and well-wishers, who kindly proffered their congratulations, I have been unable to find time to an- swer all of them, but I shall do so as ‘apldly as possible.

Asailant Escapes, Leaving the Deadly Weapons and His False Whiskers Behind. Dr. Jacob W. Goldetein, a dentist, with an office at No. 476 Fiftieth street, South Brooklyn, w thurderously saulted late this afternoon by a man who entered his office, struck him over the head with a plece of lead Pipe and fired a shot at him which did not take effect. The doctor's assailant fled, leav- ing the pistol, the lead pipe and a eet of false whiskers behind. He made | food his escape. Dr. Goldstein says he never saw the man before. The only motive he can ascribe for the attack {s robbery, al- though his assailant made no move to steal anything. 4 Dr. Goldstein's office is on the second floor of a business building over a store. He was alone when the door opened land a stranger entered. As the doctor | stepped forward his visitor leaped at him and struck out with the piece of lead pipe. ‘The doctor threw up his arms and for @ moment defended himself against a vicious rain of blows. But the stranger beat down his guard and managed to strike him twice on the hedd, inflicting long, deep scalp wounds. FIRED ONE 8HOT PROM DOOR AND THEN FLED. Afthough dazed, Dr. Golklietein kept upright and fought ‘his assailant to- ward the\door. The stranger in the Struggle lost a set of false whiskers which had concealed the lower part of his face. As he backed toward the door he drew a pistol and fired point blank at the dentist. The bullet passed the doctor's face Jand hit the wall. Fearing that the sound of the shot would summon a. sistance, the coctor’s assatlant precip tately fled, leaving his instruments of Assault behind, Dr. Goldstein made his way down- stuirs, but when he reached the #ide- walk the atranger had vanished. Tne Policeman on post was sunwmoned and called an ambulance from the Nor- wegian Hospital. Dr. Dongan dressed Dr. Goldstein's wounds, which are pain- ful but not serious. The revolver left behind was of .38 callbre and four of the chambers were loaded. The lead pipe was old and had evidently been ripped from some plece of plumbing. Owing to the suddenness and viclous- ness of the attack Dr. Goldstein got but an Imperfect view of his murderous | visitor, He describes him as a man of| medium height, wearing a long gray} overcoat. Hesides the false whiskers he wore a small black mustache. DENTIST SAYS HE HASN’T A KNOWN ENEMY. “I have had no trouble with my pa- tlents or anybody else,” Dr, Goldstein told the police, "I haye not recelved any threatening letters, and, so far as I know, I haven't an enemy in the world, “The man did not utter a word, He simply started at me as soon as he was Inside the door, and the quick rush al- mom. knocked me off my feet. I think he thought to stun and robe me, but I cannot imagine why he tried to shoot me. Detectives from the Brooklyn Centra! Office were hurried to South Brooklyn 48 soon as the news of the assault reached Headquarters.” The sleuths had very little to work on, but were hope- ful of findimg persons who may have seen Dr, Goldstein's assailant ashe was running awa: nn JERSEY WOMEN CAN’T VOTE. | | Defeated Al- most Unanimously, TRENTON, N.
