When the smoke cleared away It was

was shot through the neck, while Hogg
was unhurt Morton wns hustled to the

meeting wat at once held on Ihe public
square. Colonel John Irumiuoiid
moiiiite.! a barrel and made a speech.
He said the murderer must lie hanged,
but that the wuik must lie done qtiietlv
and with perfect order. Morton bad
killed two men in less than two month,
and lie must tlie by Ihe rojie. A mob
w.is quicklv funned and marchid to the

Ihe key to Morton's cell obtained, lie
was found crouched on the floor, and
after a struggle wat seized and drugged
out. Seeing ids giime was up, Morton
made the liest of tilings and told the
mob that he did not rare what they did
with him, provided Ibey did their work
quickly. After a short parley he was
taken to a little bridge some distance
from town, and the me was placed
around his neck. The leaders drew their
guns, and toll him to jump or else he
would Ire riddled with bullets. Turning
around, the doomed man cursed his
cuptor and, ottering wild imprecation,
jumped into space. The jump broke
bis neck. After dangling in the air for
some minutes his Isxly la-came stilT, and
a volley of bullets were fired into it. The
mob then disH-rsed, leaving the body
dangling from tbe bridge. At noon Sun
day it was there still. None of the mob
made anv attempt to conceal hi identity,
and tbe banging was conducted with a
much formality as if it had been a legal
affair. The murderer was a wealthy
man, w ho lived at Stanton.
