SHOALS. End., July 9.-Ssm Archer was
convicted of murder in the hrst degree last
January. being charged with completely
in the brutal murder Of Samuel a. Bunch,
in January. 1882. After the perpetraslon
of the deed he avoided the authorities sue
cessfuIly until his whereabo1ts was re-
yeAled by coward Of the gang. John D.
Lynch.
July, 1883, Sam Marley and Mart Arch
ar got INTO difficulty, resulting in the, IA
tai shooting OF Archer by Marley. This
enraged the elder Archers and they de-
termined to punish Marley 81 the frst OPP
organized themselves into q gang OF six
members, viz: Tom, John, Mart a8d
Sam Archer, John Lynch and Dave Crane:
Mart was chosen captain AMI advisor and
the work OF fezgeting ont the hiding piace
of Marley began. The Bunch house was
guarded constantly, IS suspicion reeted
On him as one who was aiding
Marley 20 escape. This espionage did
not reveal the desired inform alton and
the Archers resolved to kill Bunch If he
refused TO reveal Marley's hiding place.
They met on the afternoon OF July 18th,
1882, near the home of their victim and
sent Dave Crane 70 decoy him into the
woods where they would meet him.
Bunch accompanied Crane TO the spot
designated where he was seized, bound
and subsequently taken 20 saltpetre
cave In Orange county, where he WAS
shot to death by the gang. In the mean.
while search was made for Bunch by
his friends, which of course
proved fruitless. Lost river Was thorough
lg dragged and other Information concern
ing him was sought until the murderers
became alarmed, lest the cave might be
visited and the crime revealed. Ga the
18th of the same month the cave was
visited by Bunch's murdereTs, and the re-
mains were rolled into il and deposited on
large brush heap where the whole was
thoroughly saturated with oil and 8 torch
applied. Little Information concerning
| the fate of the missing man
could be learned until the divorced wife
of Jno. Archer, who had taken refuge in
the county poor asylum, gave sufficient
evidence concerning the deed to cause the
in jail only short time
until a mob broke IN, When they were has
tened of to Davis county for safety. The
prisoners remained there only q short time
/ when they expressed desiIe to return "a
Shoals, which was granted. Tho excite
| ment over the appearance of the mob had
somewhat sbsted when the lynchsrs made
| last and successful attack on March 8
1886. They marched quickly and unmo.
Tested into towD, thence to the jail, when the
work of battering down the doors began
which occupied but few minutes. After
gaming possession Of the prisoners they
marched them into the court house yard
and left the trio swinging TO the limbs of {
small tree. This ended the daring career
of Mart, Thomas and John Archer, father
SOD and father. Only week later the las
of the gang, Sam Archer, was arrested il
Fountain county and kept in the state
prison until the January term of cour
when he was brought 60 Shoals undeI
military escort of forty soldiers which
guarded his life until sentence was passed
on him 10y Judge Hefran. Sam Archie
was hanged at Shoals at 1 80 p. m.
