which was discovered only yesterday
Mrs. Mary Green, widow living with
two unmarried daughters and a sor
about Is years Of age on farm or
Grass Lick, eight miles from Ripley
sold horse for S5S cash. Early in the
night the family were awakened by Q
rap at the door. The person desiring
admission announced himself as John
Morgan, an adopted son. As Mrs.
Green opened the door the young
man beat her brains out with a
club. He then killed the eldest daugh-
ter with one blow, and, as he
thought, killed the younger one the
same way. As the son witnessed the
murders he rushed through rear door
and hid in corn crib, where he was
soon found and beaten to death by the
assassin. While Morgan was search
ing for the boy Mrs. Green's youngest
daughter revived and escaped to the
woods, where she was followed by the
murderer, whom she managed to elude.
Morgan, ransacked the house, took
what money he could find and fed.
The young girl, the only survivor, told
the story at a neighbours yesterday.
Morgan was found by officers instead
of citizens within few miles of the
place OF his crime. He confessed the
crime The officers were guarding him
in the woods last night. The mob is
after him, however, and there appears
but little doubt Of his soon being
lynched.
