CORONER’S INQUEST IN MORGAN CASE. IT WAS HELD IN COURT HOUSE FRIDAY. Witnesses Testify t© Having Seen Harris at th e - House Just Before the Murder Was Committed. T^e inquest into the cause of the death of Mrs. Hortencia Morgan, who was murdered last Tuesday, was held in the court house Friday at 11 o’clock Sufficient evidence was ad duced to place Tom Harris at the home of Mrs. Morgan at the time of the killing, witnesses swearing that they met him on the road going to ward Mrs. Morgan’s house, saw him at the house before the murder was committed and on the road leading from Mrs. Morgan’s to Gaffney imme diately after the murder was commit ted. ’ The following is the verbatim testi mony as taken at the inquest and the finding of the coroner's jury: Dr. J. N. Nesbitt, sworn, says: 1 am a practicing physican. I knew Mrs. Morgan; saw her on November 20th alive at her home in Ibis county. 1 saw her twice that day. about half past ten. and in the afternoon about one o’clock. I saw her in the piazza at tier home. She was fitting in a chair with a newspaper in her hand. I saw a man standing just on the in- sirt" of the door with his hand up against the door facing. As I drove up he dropped his head as tho look ing toward her or down the road that I was going. I spoke to Mrs. Morgan. The man did not look toward.me. He drew my attention, as he being a stranger to me I noticed and thought in my mind as to who he was. I had never seen the man before to my knowledge. I saw the same man later in the day in the hands of the officers. When I saw him in the hands of the officers it was about two hours after I saw him at her house. 1 found the body of Mrs. Morgan in a sitting posture with her head thrown hack, buried in the feather bed, throat cut about five inches, cutting the ex- tempi carotid artery, jugular vein, wind pipe, down to the carotid artery on the right side. There was some indentation on Hie throat, looking as tho it might have been produced by fingers. The wound was made by a sharp instrument and could have been done with a knife. I am famil iar with bh>od stains and in my opin ion that is blood on the knife. Also I think that is blood on the shoe of th« left foot. .1. N. Nesbitt. M. D. Not. 23. 1906. Mr. J. J. Quinn, sworn, says: I live In Cherokee county, on the farm. On the 20th of November I came to town and passed by the house of Mrs. Morgan, who lived on the main road to Gaffney. 1 did not see Mrs. Mor gan that day as 1 passed. That same day after I came to town I saw a man before he was arrested, and also afterwards by the name of Tom Childers. I met the same man in the road about 11 o’clock, or near that time as I can guess, as 1 had no time piece. I met him close to a big tree this side of Mr. J. J. Gaffney’s, where the road turns off to go to Mr. Tom Stacy's. He asked me if I could tell him where Mrs. Morgan lived. I told him. He was going in the direction of Mrs. Morgan’s and I was coming towards Gaffney. I am satisfied that this was the same man that I saw In the hands of the officers later. No, one was with me. After 1 came to town, possibly about two o’clock, or a little later. I received information that Mrs. Morgan had been killed, and 1 noticed the man that I saw up the road thlit morning who inquired of me where she lived, and I followed him to the depot, where he was after wards arrested. 1 do not know of any other Mrs. Morgan who lives up this road. J. J. Quinn. Not. 23. 1906. Al$c Quinn, sworn, says: I live above Gaffney about four miles. I do not know Tom Childers, but I saw a man iu the hands of the officers that day by the name of Tom Childers Before he was arrested I saw- him at Mrs. Hortencia Morgan’s, coming out of the door, between eleven and twelve o’clock. 1 saw Mrs. Morgan sitting on the porch just below the lower door, and he was coming out of the other door. I did not say any thing to either of them. J. W. A Quinn. Not. 23. 1906. S. Sentell, sworn, says: I live about five miles above Gaffney. Mrs. Mor gan lives on the road between here and where I live. I passed her house that day, on the 20th of November, but did not see her. After I passed her house that day I met a strange man near where the road turns off to go to Mr. D. W. Cooper's place. He spoke to me. It was between ten and eleven o’clock in the morning when I met him, he going towards Mrs. Morgan’s. Then, about one o’clock I met the same man coming towards Gaffner. just on the outside of the road near the Doggett place and about three hundred yards this side of where Mrs. Morgan lived. I had no time piece and cannot be positive as to the time. I saw some lady leave the house just before I passed the house and going up the road. At that time I did not know that Mrs. Morgan was killed. The lady I saw was not in the house, but was leav ing the house. She was rolling a baby carriage. I saw this lady turn Into where Mrs. Murray lived, on the side of the road just beyond where Mrs. Morgan lives. S. Sentell. Gaffney, S. C„ Nov. 23, 1906. Mr. J. V. Whelchel, sworn says: I live about three miles from Gaffney, and Mrs. Morgan lives just this side of me on the main public road, about three or four hundred yards. There is no house between my house and where Mrs. Morgan lived. I passed Mrs. Morgan’s on the 20th of Novem ber, coming towards Gaffney. It was about fifteen minutes past one o’clock when I passed coming to town. I saw a man and Mrs. Morgan when I pass ed. but did not know the man. He looked to be about thirty or thirty- five years old. The man was sitting in the porch between the doors and Mrs. Morgan was sitting on this end of the porch. After I passed the house I met Mr. Sentell, near Mr. June Humphries’ place. I was In a onehorse wagon. I saw this same man later. He overtook me just at the lower corner of the woods this side of Anthony Hopper’s. He was walking fast. He did not have any thing with him in his hand. I have not seen the man since. It was not more than twenty-five minutes from the time from when I first saw him until he passed me, coming down the road toward Gaffney. J. V. Whelchel. Nov. 23. 1906. Mr. A. C. Price, sworn, says: I live about eight miles above Gaffney. On the 20th of November I passed the house of Mrs. Morgan, and I met a fellow ip front of the house and I saw him open the gate and go upon the porch. I saw' Mrs. Morgan sitting on the porch on this end and seemed to be sewing. I did not stop. This was a little before twelve o’clock. I saw that same man at the depot later, who wms afterwards arrested. After he was arrested I asked him where, he was about twelve o’clock, and he said that he was down betw r een the Limestone and Globe cotton mills. I also asked him where the coat was he had on that morning, and he said that it was in his grip and he showed me the coat, and I think it was the same coat I saw him have on when I saw' him at Mrs. Morgan’s. A. C. Price. Nov. 23. 1966. Mrs^ Gallic Webb, sworn, says: I am living on the place of Mrs. Mor gan: have been living there since the first of February, 1906. 1 was at home last Tuesday, the 20th of November. Mrs. Morgan spent the night at my house on the night of the 19th. She left my house on the morning of the 20th about sun-up. I saw her in her yard about twelve o’clock. The next time I saw her she was dead. 1 did not see any one about the bouse that day before I went up there. Mrs. Morgan and myself were going to Mr. Frank Whelchel’s and I went up there. I waited for her until one o’clock and she did not come, and I went up to the house, and I went to the door and knocked on the back door and called her. and around In the vard and called her. I \yag there about ten minutes before I saw the body. The doors and windows where she was were closed. I went and looked In the window and saw Mrs. Morgan on the bed and saw the blood on her face. I then ran off and went to a Mr. Logan Murray’s, rolling my baby carriage. Her Mrs, Caliie (X) Webb. Mark Witness: Thos. B. Butler. D. F. Phillips, sworn, says: L do not know Tom Childers or Tom Har ris, but Mr. Coyle and myself ar rested a man in the Southern depot who gave his 'name as Tom Harris. We asked him several questions. We asked him where he come from and lie said t’aat he come from Grover l hat morning on 39, and had been here in town all day. He said that be wag between the Globe and Lime stone mills at twelve o’clock. He said that he had bought the new coat and vest tiiat he had on. He said at first that he bought it at the furni ture store, but afterwards said he got it from the big brick store this side of Wilkins'. He said that bis old coat was in his grip. He ooneed the grip and Mr. Price stated that it was tie sain** one he saw him have on when he saw him up the road. The coat was also identified as the same on < by Oscar Painter I). F. Ray and one Davis and others He was Lieu taken to the guard house and we found three places on his coat that appeared to be blood marks and looked as if they had been rubbed. We also took a kuife from right coat pocket, the old coat, and we also found a roll of monev in the coat oockets. We then counted that mou °v anu there was foqr hundred and sixty six dollars. This money was wif.pped in two rags. His coat waa se: roiled again and more money found. It was also counted and there was two hundred and sixty dollars, and we searched further and found ten cents. Before the last money was counted he was asked how much money h e had and he said that he had about six hundred dollars. He was asked where he got all that money, and he said by lalwr and gambling. We then looked for blood stains and we found some on his left shoe.' and on his right hand and wrist, and saw what appeared to me to be blood In the cracks of the skin. We looked on his body and found on his breast scratches on the skin, which seemed to have been made in a sen tile The knife was turned over to Mr. Hall man when we left the guard house.

A Columbia special of Saturday to the Charlotte Observer has this to say concerning the special term of court: After consulting the attorney gen eral today Governor Heyward decid ed that he could not do otherwise than order the special term of court asked for for Cherokee county to try Harris and Childress for the murder of Mrs. Hortencia Morgan. The date of the court w’ill be fixed so as to convene the court as soon as this can be legally done with the proper al lowance of time for summoning ju rors and advertising, etc. Before the court will be formally ordered the chief justice will have to name a judge to preside. The Gov ernor today sent the papers in the cast* to the chief justice at Newber ry. sayi ig that he would issue the order for the term when the chief justice nominated a Judge, that he regarded the solicitor’s request suffi cient under the law. The legislature has set down upon special terms as a rule taking aw'ay the appropriation for this purpose, and the chief justice has on several occasions declined to nominate judges for civil terms, but the law is different as to criminal business, and It is thought this extra term will be held. A numerously signed l>etltion asks for a special term, but many letters have come in from influential men saying there is no necessity for this, that it would he injurious to the in terests of law and order to thus give way to the excitement of the moment. And Governor Heyward is inclined to this latter view. 1 NEWSY IETTER FROM WILKINSV LIE. MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. SKIPS FOR PARTS UNKNOWN. Warrant Sworn for Jeff Kniqht for a Recent Killing. Laurens. Nov. 25.—A few weeks ago a 14-year-old negro boy by the name of Seabrook- Humbert, of this city, was shot and killed near Tumb ling Shoals, thirteen miles west of Laurens. The noy was shot lust at nightfall while he was chopping wood in Uie yard at his grandfath er’s. Before dying the boy said ne had been shot by a certain white man of the community who fired upon him w thout any warning or provocation whatever. All the facts ascertain able were brought out at the coro ner’s inquest, but. the jury did not im plicate any one and the matter seem ed closed. During the past week, however, a pistol and kuife wer« iden tified as the property of Jeff Knight, the young farmer whom the boy de clared in his dying statement had shot him. were found near the scene of the shooting, and in consequence of this a warrant was sworn out immediately for the arrest of Knight. Before the warrant could ire executed, however. Knight got wind of the proceedings and left for parts unknown. As to Our Ballots. Editor Ledger:—Perhaps what I may say is dull and out of date. But ;*s the election is just past and know tug the interest taken in the privi lege by our people who‘seem to for get or care so little as to refusal to r o to the polls in the general elect ion ...id discharge the obligations they take on themselves, then, if the oath we take is not obligatory, why then not vote without it If we are sum moned to court as a witness are we not expected to be true? Why then should we not respect our word whether under oath or not? If those who do not vote were refused that ight. what do you suppose would be the result? Don’t they, according to our laws, disfranchise themselves? This may not be worthy of notice, but we need to be informed as to our duty and urged to action. I only wish some one of ability had saved me this venture. Perhaps, Mr. Edi tor, I am trespassing to ask you for space in your columns. If its destiny is the waste basket then good and well, if not. it may lead someone to give us something worthy of your space. ' Voter. Barrett-White.

Gaffney’s Mountain Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of that Section. Wllkinsvllle, Nov. 24.—We com mend Mayor Little, of Gaffney, and the police force for their vigilence and determination to put loafers and dead beats to work or make them move on. If the vagrant law was more rigidly enforced In the country a much better time would exist than does among the farming people. Mr. Lowery Webber, Df Wilkins vill\ and Miss Maggie F.stes, of Se- dalla. Union county were married last Thursday night, at the bride’s home. We wish them a long, happy and prosperous life.

Mr. Jack Kendrick has, we are told, ginned over 500 bales of cotton this season. We understand that Mr. W. R. Walker will open up four hundred acres of farming lands that have been in pasture for several years. This is a good opportunity for In dustrious men who want to wo-k land that will make from a bale to two bales of cotton per acre. Mr. Walker has nearly 4,000 acres of tho best average land in the fork of Broad and Paeolet rivers. And. be sides, he is a man who has the money to back bis tenants in getting what they need. But they must work if he does. The murder, of Mrs Horteusia Morgan, as reported to us. is the most atrocious act of the kind that has tak en place anywhere near us within the last half century, and like it is sur rounded with a cordon i circumstan tial evidence that nothing but a court of absolute justice can break through and bring the accused face to face with his well merited reward. We recall the case of Phineas H. John son. who in 1850 killed Mary Ann Hyatt in the Peartdgc section of T T n ion county, under circumstances as diabolical as they could possibly have been planned by his satanic majes ty himself. Circumstantial evidence was all that could possibly be brought to convict the accused. But so well was it handled by that matcnless State’s attorney. Col. Thomas N. Dawkins, with Judge John Belton O’Neal on the bench and a jury of the best men in the county, that it led to the conviction’, confession and final execution of the criminal We clip from an old copy of the Union Times the following note, which gives the names of a Jury whose sense of mstice was stronger than any plea that could be made by counsel “learn ed in the law” to save a wretch from his well merited doom: “The follow ing names were banded in by a sub scriber to The Times. These were the men which were on the jury that convicted Phineas Johnson of the murder of Mary Ann Hyatt, and was hanged February 13. 1851: J. Starks Sims. Foreman: William Littlejohn, Jonathan Lee. James H. Say, Adam Goudelock, Sam Sumner, William L. Ray. Lewis Fant, Isom Howell. Ed mund Sumner. Hiram Wilburn Wil liam K. Brown.” There was no baffl ing of justice in a court like that To take human life even under the most extenuating circumstances was to narrowly esc?»ne the hangman’s noose. Several years ago we pub lished a full text of the sentence passed by Judge O’Neal on Phineas, H. Johnson for that murder, but we have lost the copy and would be glad if some kind reader who has one would send it to us for re-productlon 1" The Ledger for the edification of our readers.

Friday we took occasion to refer to the fact that our good friend Paul Gaffney nad been elected alderman from Ward 2, and we aiso took oc casion to indulge in some slight talk about him which was intended in fun. We haven't a better friend in the worid nor is there anyone whom we would do a favor quicker than we would Paul.
