SECRET MURDER.


Terrible Crimes Brought to Light.
Quite a sensation has been crea,
ted in this county by the arrest Of
certain parties residing in the 9th
district, charged with deeds so dark
and crimes so dire as to curdle the
blood of him to whom the story Is
told. 1t sounds like the murderous
doings of the Bender family and is
shocking revelation to the law
abiding and peaceful people of Mont
gomery county.
The parties are Rams Morrow and
his sons, William and Charles Nor
row. Officers Taylor, Station, Morri.
son and Edmondson made the arrest
Saturday. They are charged with
the murder of Jim Brown, COL, in
1877 and Of Dick Overton, COL, in
1873. Our readers will remember
that the body of Brown was found
at the time mentioned on a half
burned brush pile and had been
shot through with several bullets.
Dick Overton. mysteriously disap-
peared at the time he issupposed to
have been killed, and skeleton,
identified as his, has recently been
found in Bellamy's cave.
Bill Morrow waived an examina-
ton and Rams and Charley were
examined before Judge Tyler We'd
nesday. The evidence against
them comes from confessions made
to several parties at different times
taken in connection with some sus-
picious circumstances. Frank, Matt
and Albert Overton all identified
the body found in the cave as Dick
Overton's, and believed they saw a
pair of pants that belonged to Dick
on the person of Tom Morrow, a
son of Rams Morrow, after Dick was
missing. They say that after Dick
disappeared, the MUrrows would fire.
quently ask about him and remark
that they expected he had been
showing his money around and had
been "upped."
Confessions as to the murder of
Brown and Overton were proved
by VIM. Outlaw, Andrew Ham,
brock and Jim Paccaud. The al
legged excuse for killing Brown was
that he had attempted to ravish
DIR. Bellamy's wife, and for that of
Overton, that he was caught trying
to ravish little daughter of Rams
MOI row's. Paccaud also testified
that Raus Morrow was owing Dick
Overlon $50. That he went off to
get the money and on leaving re-
marked to his sons that he would
prefer not to find Overton there
when he came back. The evidence
is that Bill and Charley Morrow
carried Overton to a place near the
cave where they shot him and put
his body in the cave. Bill seems
to have been the principal actor.
Judge Tyler refused to allow any
bail, and the parties are now all
confined in the county Jail awaiting
trial.

Micheal Savage Esq, of this city,
while on recent trip to Texas ac-
cidentially stumbled on the follow
ing paragraph from the Galveston
News. 1t was in a dispatch from
Waco, dated Nov. 80, 1888:
A. II. Turner was arrested this
afternoon, for selling medicine
without paying the city license.
He was held in a bond of 500 to
appear for trial. He is also accused
of having an assumed name, of get
ting money under false pretenses,
and ofpracticing medicine without
having a diploma. l.. P. Reeves,
who is now working up Galveston,
he says, is a partner OF his.
These parties are undoubtedly
the same Drs. Reeves and Turner
now in Jail in this city.

some others, will give one OF their
fine concerts next Thursday eve
ming, the 18th inst. in this city, for
the benefit OF the Ladies' Fund
Society of the Methodist charch.
In addition to 6ne singing there
will be several rotations, and from
what we have heard of the concerts
given elsewhere by these ladies,
this is likely to be Almost enjoyable
affair. Some OF our best home
talent will also be engaged in it.
The place will be designated here

Col. McNeily is one of the best men

mott characteristic speeches that we
have ever heara him deliver. 1t was
full of good sense, good humor and
good logic. We take occasion to
thank him for the complimentary
manner in which he spoke of the
GAINESVILLE Tobacco market and the
tobacco buyers of this city, and espec-
tally for the compliment he paid to
the GAINESVILLE CHRONICLE, request
ing, as he did, that as many of his
people as possible subscribe for our
paper, and adding that he intended to
become subscriber himself and this
he did.
DIR. Leech keeps a hotel at Charlotte
and we recommend it to all corners
and goers to that hospitable little city.
His table was loaded with everything
that the most fastidious epicure could
desire.
At 2 o'clock i'll Ehe..afternoon we
started home, and by forced march
reached the residence of Esquire
Griffin Orgain at $50 O'Clock. We
remained under his hosp.table roof
until z o'clock next morning, when we
left for Clarksville. He has SPLEEN
did farm and an excellent residence,
with everything surrounding him
necessary 81 make his Life a happy one.
