A Desperado’s Career Brought . to an Abrupt Close. :

While Under Bonds for Murder He Wantonly Kills the Sheriff of Lee County, Ky., at Beattyviile, and Is Lynched.

LexiNGTON, Ky., Oct. 15.—Oscar Morton was lynched at Beattyville Sunday morning. The particulars as related by an eye witness are as follows: Morton, who was a desperate young fellow about 93 years old, killed a man mnamed Wilson in Breathitt county several months ago. He was out on bail and came to Beattyville Saturday, where he drank considerable liquor. He did a good deal of talking about having killed one man and said he intended to kill another before he left town. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon he concluded he would go to the fair which was being held at Beattyville.. He had no ticket and the gatekeeper refused to let him in. This made him very angry and he began talking loud, threatening to kill the keeper, when Sheriff William Simms stepped up and asked him to be quiet. Without a word of warning Morton drew a big revolver with each hand and began firing at the sheriff. The first shot struck him in the heart. One went through his arm and the third lodged in his abdomen. The officer fell to the ground a corpse. At this juncture Jailer Cort Jones rushed up with drawn pistol and _demanded the surrender of the murderer. Instead of surrendering he tried to shoot the jailer, but his pistol snapped twice and the jailer began shooting at him, one shot taking effect in the jaw, one in- the side and one in the leg. By this time several persons had come to the jailer’s assistance, and Morton was overpowered and taken to jail. The body of the meurdered man was taken to his home and prepared for burial. During the remainder of-the evening threats of lynching were freely made, and when night came nearly every able-bodied man in town had decided to assist in avenging the murder of the sheriff. The news having spread to the surrounding country, a score or more of the friends of the dead man came into town to assist in the taking off of Morton. = °

A little after midnight the mob gathered at a point not far from the.jail. and after a quiet consultation the crowd, numbering about 150 persons, marched to the prison. The best of order was maintained. Not a loud word was spoken nor a firearm discharged. Arriving at the jail the avengers were met with a peremptory refusal on the part of the jailer to give up the keys, but he was quickly overpowered and ‘the keys were taken away from him.

The doors. were unlocked and Morton was told to come forth. He did not seem to be alarmed, but went with his captors without saying a word or uttering protests. He was taken to a bridge which spans a little creek not far from the jail and a rope was placed around his neck. The spokesman of the party asked him if he wished to pray and he said that he did. He kneltdownand in a perfectly clear voice prayed to God to forgive him for the sins he had committed. The prayer was very brief and when he arose the spokesman asked him why he had killed Sheriff Simms. He replied that he had no reason to give for his murderous act and repeated that he hoped God would forgive him for his sin.

He was then taken out on the bridge, the rope tied to the end of the beam and the murderer of the sheriff was quickly launched into eternity. No shots were fired into his body and it was left for the rope alone to do its duty. :

4‘ CARELESS ENGINEER. Oauses a Smash-Up in Which Eighteen Persons Are Hurt. _ NEw ORLEANS, Oct. 15.—Engineer Simpson of the East Louisiana railroad is responsible for a frightful accident that occurred *Saturday morning at the crossing of the Louisville & Nashville and the Northeastern roads about 2 miles from where the Louisville & Nashville road leaves Elysian Fields street, an accident that will in all probability result in at least one fatality, while eighteen passengers on the Louisville & Nashville railroad received severe injuries. The Louisville & Nashville ‘‘across the lake” excursion train, consisting of eight coaches well loaded with pleasure seekers, a large proportion of them being women and children, pulled out on time.- As the train approached the crossing of the Northeastern tracks Engineer Hanley brought the train to a stop and whistled, as® the law requires. He then gave the signal to go ahead and proceeded across the track of ,t_'_ge Northeastern. * ! S 0

The East Louisiana train, carrying excursionists to points in Saint Tammany parish, was booming along its tracks and with a shrill shriek from its ‘whistle for ‘“down brakes” it crashed into the sixth coach of the Louisville & Nashville train. The collision threw a crowded coach completely into the ditch, while the attacking engine was derailed and buried its nose several feet in the soft mud. : :

Passengers on the East Louisiana train were uninjured except for the shock of the collision. Those on the other train, however, were hurled into the ditch by the collision, and eighteen of them were badly hurt. The greatest indignation and anger prevailed among the witnesses of the collision against Engineer Simpsaon, who had ruthlessly disregarded the law requiring him to stop and. had caused the frightful wreck. Simpson escaped to the swamp. :

PLOTTERS CAPTURED. A. R. U. Men Arrested for Causing a Fatal Wreck. Sl CHICAGO, Oct. 15.—Four members of the American Railway union have been arrested -by Mooney & Boland’s railway detectives on warrants charging them with murder, train robbery and conspiracy to rob trains. The principal charge against them relates to the wrecking of train No. 6, the Atlantic express on the Chicago & Grand Trunk road at Battle Creek, Mich.; July 16, when the fireman, Thomas W. Crowe, was killed and nearly a seore of persons more or less seriously injured. The wreck was caused by the® removal of a fishplate, thus loosening a rail and ditehing the train. The men are. Stanley J. Knowles, John Bodewig, George W. Johnson and Ernest Jewett. All -of these men had been in the employ of the Chicago & Grand Trunk road. The wreck occurred at 2 o’clock on the morning of July 16, when, the great railroad strike was praetically lost. The Gramd Trunk’s trains had been tied up near Battle Creek for several days, but had resumed business a few days before. American Railway union meetings were being held every day in Battle Creek and incendiary speeches were the rule rather than the exception. :

EBKnowles and Bodewig in their confessions say all the men interested were members of the American Railway union and that the plan of wrecking the train was made in and about the meetings held by the men in the midst of the excitement incident to the strike. The men claim they were® induced to do the deed by the incendiary speeches made: at the meetings. :

WOMAN CONFESSES .MURDER, Wife of Clarence Robinson Says She Killed : Montgomery Gibbs. ' ; CLEVELAND, 0., Oct. 15.--A woman 19 years old, who represents herself to be the wife of Clarence Robinson, a burglar in the “county jail awaiting sentence, told ‘the detectives a few days ago she knew who committed the mysterious - Montgomery Gibbs murder in Buffale. The Buffalo police were notified and on Saturday Deputy Supe.rintendenti Cusick' arrived. Mrs. Robinson was produced, but declined to talk until they threatened to prosecute her husband for the murder when she became much agitated and declared she killed Gibbs herself. Further than this she refused to talk until she was taken to Buffalo. Robinson and the woman claim to be variety theatrical people out of work and confess there were in Buffalo when the murder was committed last April, ' ; The motive of the crime was robbery. Robinson and his wife had been driven to desperation by circumstances, and they decided to patrol a lonely, poorly-lighted block on Delaware avenue, in the most fashionable neighborhood, and ' hold up the first . well-dressed man who came along. Montgomery Gibbs happened to be the man. There was a low hedge fence near the spdt where he was shot, which was the next door: to the home of a man who had long been under suspicion for the crime, but who established an dlibi. Gibbs probably allowed the couple toapproach close to him. If he had anysuspicions they were probably allayed by the fact that the man was accompanied by a woman. He made a strike at the robber when asked for his valuables, and the two men grappled with each other. The woman, who was dressed in men’s clothing, then took a hand, and forcing herself between the men she-placed her revolver to Gibbs’ head and pulled the trigger. He fell without a groan and muyst have died instantly, the shot fired by the woman being the fatal ' one. Husband and wife then stooped over their victim and began to relieve the dead man of his valuables. At that moinent they heard the sounds of hurrying footsteps and Robinson and his wife dashed away and .across ‘the’ street. Still with the idea of robhery ig their minds they did not leave the immediate scene of* the murder: Making a detour of a block they’came back to the opposite side of the street on which Gibbs’ body laya As they came opposite they say 'a man leaning over the body, and comprehending that robbery was now out of the question and fearing detection they returned’ to their rooms. Soon after the murder was committed they left Buffalo and 6 came to ClevBland, where they resumed their mnightly prowling till arrested for committing a burglary. - : !
