JOHN A. MURRELL.
The QuestiOn as 90 Where He was
Buried.

AToKA, TIPToN County, TRNN.,(
April, 1878.
To the Editor Of the Ledger:
l see in my WEEKLY LELGER, which
has just come to hand, ar article in re-
gard to John A. Murrell. 1t has been
my understanding that Murrell was
turned out of the Tennessee penitentiary
before be died, as he had consumption
and could do no good or harm. In the
year 1858, when | was about grown, |
was hawking Yankee clocks in the east
part OF Tennessee. Crossing the noun
tains in company with VIM Todd and
Solomon Speir, Of Cannon county,
Tenn, we stopped at Mr.. Hutchirson's,
ten miles above Plkeville, in Bledsoe
county. Mrs, Hutchinson was a Bill
lings before she was married. She
informed me that Murrell died at a
Mr. Hudenpiles', on Cumberland noun
tain, anu she saw him bnried.
He was buried in the daytime, aud the
follo owing night be was dug up, his head
cut OF and carried away, and his body
left on top of the ground. Mrs. Hutchin-
son passed the graveyard next morning
and saw Murrell's body, and her horse
got scared at it. Mr.. Billings, Mrs.
Hulchinson's father. was at Mr.. Hutch
inson's, and wanted William Todd to go
home with him and FIX a Yankee clock
that Todd had sold him some time be.
fore. Todd went, and | accompanied
them about six miles up the S~equatehie
valley from Mr.. HutehiHson's AS we
went along we passed a church and
graveyard in the Ssqnatchie valley, on
the east side Of the ~SeQuatchie river,
some twelve or fifteen miles above Pike
vile, and Mr.. Billings pointed out a
grave and told US it was John A. Muir.
relPs grave, for he had helped to bury
him twice. 1t was the understanding
that Murrell's head was cut off for the
use of some doctors or medical students.
