his friend and pro
ceeded to do tho Job Saturday morning
the other fellow to receive half tho booty
On entering tho house his motive changed
atid he accomplished his hellish crime As
ft last statement ho
requested that the aama
punishment be meted out to his accom
plice
Tho husband of
tho unfortunate woman
was on hand and after Morgan had con
cluded his remarks stepped up and ap
plied the torch
The wood burned slowly for n while and
the spectators were continually picking at
the brutes clothing trying to tear off
pieces for soucnlrs No hot Irous were
applied to tho scorching llosli but several
Jabs were made at him with knives and
totches passed over his cheeks and breast
Morgan uttered few audible groans and
cries
IIll IHIfJOHD
FOI QUICK DKATH
After his clothing had been burned and
torn off he begged pltably to be shot or
hU death hastened lu some manner Flesh
soon began failug from hU body and It
wiim then very evident that bin torture
would soon be at an end it was at leist
thlrtytlve minutes befyre life was extinct
it becoming known that he was load the
eiowd Ktirced around th < > stake again In
on effort to obtain souvenirs All during
the binning the crowd gazed with Intense
Interest not one turning away While the
scene was ghastly the crowd seemed bar
idened by the awfulncss of hi crime nml
none stirred though as tho flames shot up
higher the twitching In the face of the
negro showed his nwful torture The sU
71lng of the flesh could be heard for suni
dlstauce and the suffering must have been
beyond description An occasional gasp
showed that n spirk of life was left but
ths soon ceased and the end came
The crowd Is estimated all the way from
12t0 to lioGu with at lcm Id women as
fipretntiirM It was an orderly crowd not n
single dlsurbasico of any kind nceurrcd

The men who bad the negro In ehnre
bad no trouble In protecting him ns the
KpiicmI understanding seemed to be iliif
he would llrst be Identified by his victim
The tieaio whom Morznn named as tho
real originator of the crime was until this
moinlng at Mb home near Lansing but
feailng Morgan would confess and Implicate
him he left very hurriedly at an early hour
and has not been hoard of since It l
thought he left In the direction of Marshall
and hopes are entertained fr his capture
Thoie lu talk of another lynching here to
night It be Is caught He Is badly wanted
and there Is no doubt that ho will be sum
marily dealt with If captured
Slnco the assault Mrs McKee hag been

Morgans flight was a scusallonal one and

was expected from Pittsburg houily for the
last forteight hours but by ailous books
cud crooks he succeeded In getting beyond

The Post correspondent left the scene of

charred bodv of the brute bad been dragged
to a shady place scleral hundred feet dis

entirely burned away
This place Is quiet tonight but of course
there Is no other topic of conversation oiacr
