Allens Electrocution Ends Hillsville Murder Case
Floyd Allen and his son Claude Swanson Allen were executed at the Virginia State Penitentiary after a dramatic, delayed appeal process. Governor Mann returned to Virginia to oversee the case amid a large crowd and tense police presence. The Hillsville courthouse shooting in 1912 left several dead and wounded, and this final act closed a notorious murder spree linked to the Allen family.
