Conspiracy In Alley Murder In Knoxville Case
In Knoxville on March 1 the Criminal Court Judge ruled that the state proved a conspiracy among H G Pendleton Cecil Coon and Elgie Smith to murder Lloyd G Alley a Gates City Virginia farmer. The court noted the jury would consider all defendants for any proven acts. Alley was beaten to death last July near his home in the Knoxville suburb. A confessed reading by Sheriff Brower outlined Smith and Coon saying they beat Alley and were hired by Pendleton to do so. Pendleton’s later statement about an 1902 robbery and assault was also discussed.
