Tho other roll had boon vrapped in tho samo way, but th? trappings were gone. The rag which teemed to have been wrapped around his last roll was found between the louso ?ni Gaffney. Harris, when asked how muoh mon >y he had, said that he bad abeu' $600, 9126 less than be really had. In .-edition to the monoy and knlfo there vere found ou his person stains of ilood, about his bands, and on hi ireast thoro was a bruise.

The room had jeon ransacked, tho olotbiug thrown ibout the floor. From Inquiry of the. leighbora the following facts were aR :ertainod: Mrs. Morgan lived alono in her louse on the top of tho hill, bubsponb ter nights with a tenant on hor place, looauso she was afraid of being mur ?ered. Between ll and 12 o'olook tfrs. Webb caw her about the place, tanging out olothes and feodlng tin )lgs. At 1 o'clock M'S. Webb had au mgageroont to go with hor to seo a lelghbor. After waiting some time ver the appointed hour she went to ho hun:.,, to eeo what had beoome of 1er. She looked in tho window and aw her on the bed with her throat nt. She gavo tho alarm and soon a irowd had gathered. HarrU was seen going to Mrs. Mor an's near to 12 o'olook. Hs asked ome people along the road how far it vas to her house. Ho was s^en in the toroa talking to her while she wat ewing. When ho oame to town after he murder tho fl -st thing he did wa? o buy a suit of clothes and an over oat.

There aro thoso who )6lievo that tho killing of Mrs. Mor ?an waa the execution of a deep laid dot to put tho aged lady out of the .vay, and that Harris was the tool leourod to do tho bloody w irk. The .fflaials of Gaffney aro no? at. work teaming ovldunoe In thc caso against lurrls, and lb is believed that tho in /estlgatlon being made may lead te ibo arrost of other parties. In G fl ley there is well founded hollof that larris was hirod to kill Mr?. M? rgan or thc purpose of goitlng her out of ibo way. Mrs. Morgan was well-to lo, having about six bales of ootton, willoh she. had been holding for some dme, several of the hales having b^en leid over from last yoar. Her land ia worth about 810,000. Harris has boon romovod to Spar, ianburg. It was feared that if be was copb In Gaffney the jail would bo itormod hy an angry mob and the prisoner ly nobel. Tho excitement was great. It ls bolleved that Harris was hired to kill Mn. Morgan. She was eighty years o? age. She bad more than $700 In her house, six bales of cotton and owned land worth about $10,030. At the trial of narnu ti:o Statt will show that the old woman ?t as murdered for her property. A man oy the name of Ohlldress, a half brother of Harris, has been arrested as a material wit nesses.
