Morgan's Fate.
In the summer OF 1926 William
Morgan, OF Batavia, n. Y, disappear
cd irom his home aud was never again
seen by his family. lie had threaten
ed to publish book exposing certain
alleged secrets OF Masonry. aud 1t was
charged that prominent 'iasons bad
abducted and permanently sllenced
hIn. This event was tue beginning of
tie anti-Masonic excitement, which
ragged IN Western New York for four
years thereafter. TGurlow Weed, was
then editor of newspaper printed IN
Rochester, n. T., where Masonry was
firmly established. Mr. Weed became
the leader of the movement against
Masonry and was for \ long time ac-
lively engaged in efforts to ferret out
and bring to punishment the men con
cerned in the taking off of Morgan. ln
1927 body found floating In Lake
Ontario, was declared by Coroner's s
jury to be that OF Morgan, but subse-
quently discovered testimony seemed
TO show that the body was that OF Tim
othy Monroe, who had some time be-
fore been drowned In Niagara River.
Another inquest wss held, and another
jury officially declared tbs body TO be
Timothy Monroe, SO the question OF
identity remsined an open one. The
mystery despened with years, and It's
memory slowly died out of the pubic
mind. Almost the last OF those who
fought on either side of the resulting
struggles was TLurlow Weed. lie has
put upon record what be knew, in re
markable sworn statement dated Sep
tember 2S, 1882, and published in yes
terdey's New York Sun. He rehearses
