HISTORY OF VIGO COUNTY. 561
CHAPTER XXXI.
NOTABLE CRIMES.
Beauchamp’s Crime.—The first murder in Vigo county for
which the death penalty was inflicted was the killing of George
Mickleberry by Noah Beauchamp near St. Mary,s, in Sugar creek
township, in May, 1840. The murderer was hanged at Rockville
in the winter of 1842, having gone to Parke county on a change of
venue, and there convicted. Noah Beauchamp and George Mickle-
berry were the owners of adjoining farms in Sugar Creek town-
ship, and were in those days considered well-to-do farmers. The
men were members of the same church, were friends of long stand-
ing, and each of their families consisted of a wife and several
daughters. On the dividing line between the two farms was a fine
natural spring, which was used for watering stock. In the spring
of the year a temporary dam was built in the little stream formed
by the spring, and the latter backed up for the purpose of washing the
sheep of the two farmers, preparatory to the annualshearing. Each
of the men, when the shearing had been completed, spread his
wool out to dry on the hillocks on either side of the spring. A
short time after the annual shearing had been completed in May...
1840; And the wool ‘spread owt to dry, a report was current in the
neighborhood that the daughters of Beauchamp had been stealing
wool from the Mickleberrys’ collection, while the owners were ab-
sent. This report, which was said to have been originated by the
daughters of Mickleberry, of course came to the ears of the par-
ties accused of the theft. On the day the story was first heard at
the Beauchamps, the husband and father was absent, On his re-
turn, about noon, his daughters informed him of the story, which
had been started derogatory to them, and without stopping to eat
his dinner, Beauchamp set out for the home of the Mickleberrys.
The Mickleberry family was seated at the dinner table when Beau.
champ arriyed. The latter appeared at the door, and repeating the
story he had heard, asked if it were true that the daughters of Mick-
Jeberry had said this. Mickleberry responded that it was so, and
that he supported every word they may have said. This brought
on a quarrel, in the course of which Mickleberry lifted a chair to
strike Beauchamp, but his wife prevented him from doing this. At

HISTORY OF VIGO COUNTY
this juncture Beauchamp drew the knife with which he had pro- é - tk
vided himself, and Mickleberry, who was unable to defend himself
from the weapon, was killed in his own yard, and in the presence
of his wife and daughters. Another story is that it was Mrs.
Mickleberry who had said this, and that the murdered man only
spoke when Beauchamp commenced to abuse his wife, and then
Beauchamp struck him to the heart with the knife. The latter gave
an alarm, Beauchamp having fled immediately after the commission
of the deed. The first man to reach the scene of the killing was
Rice McCormick, the veteran carpenter and boatman. :
Beauchamp made his way to the Wabash, which he swam sev-
eral miles above here. Search was instituted for him as soon as
the news of the crime had been spread ,but the murderer succeeded
in making his escape, and nothing was heard of him for several
months. Handbills were struck off, giving a description of the
murderer, and offering a reward of $500 for his arrest. These
handbills were sent to all parts of the country, and a person going
from this county to Texas, took one of them with him, and to this
chance occurrence the capture of the murderer was due. The bill
was posted in a rude country hotel, in a little place near the Rio
thi
BM,
Grande border, in Texas. A couple of young men visiting the hotel ©
read the description and the offer of reward, and knowing a man em-
ployed in a blacksmith’s shop in that vicinity who answered com-
pletely to that description, charged him with being the culprit. It
was Beauchamp, who had escaped to that far-away and seemingly
secure place of refuge, and when confronted with the offer of a re-
ward for his capture, confessed that he was the man. The young
men took charge of him, and set out on horseback to return the
criminal to the scene of his crime. The great southwestern
system of railroads had not been dreamed of in those days, and a
journey from the wild Mexican province to the distant Hoosier
State, on horseback, over unfrequented and strange roads, fording
rivers, with the accompanying perils to life and property, was the
work of weeks and months. It was completed in safety, however,
and the men turned Beauchamp over to the authorities here, re-
ceiving the reward offered for him, and for which, rather than any
desire to see justice administered, they had made their long journey.
Beauchamp had a hearing before the Vigo court, and applied
for achange of venue to Parke county, on the ground that there
was such a public feeling and sentiment against him in this county
that he could not receive justice. But this did not save him, as
after a long and tedious trial before the Parke county court, at
’ Rockville, he was convicted of murder in the first degree, and sen-
tenced to be hanged. The death penalty was inflicted at Rockville

HISTORY OF VIGO COUNTY.
in the winter of 1842, nearly two years after the perpetration of
the crime, the execution being public, and witnessed by a large
~ crowd of spectators. There was great interest in this county in the
crime and the penalty, and great numbers of persons went to Rockville
on horseback and in wagons to witness the last scene in the tragedy.
This was the first murder ever committed in Vigo county for which
the death penalty was inflicted, and the first and only hanging that
ever occurred at Rockville.
| First Hanging in Vigo County occurred on July 5, 1844, at
the foot of Strawberry Hill. A man named Dyas had brutally
murdered George Brock, an Illinois drover and cattle buyer, in
Nevins township, this county, in the fall of 1843. This was the
first death penalty ever inflicted in this county, and being public
the place of execution was adapted, like a great natural amphithenter .
for the grewsome show. The crowd that gathered to make a holi-
day of it was estimated at thousands who came from all the sur-
rounding country—even some considerable distance into Illinois—
many coming a distance of fifty miles, or even more. It wasa
memorable day, and possibly Dyas never realized that he was of
any importance in this world until the day of his exit out of it.
The man rode from the jail, on the corner of Third and Ohio streets,
to the gallows, seated on his coffin, which was placed in an op2n
two-horse wagon. He was dressed in his white shroud, and he
headed the great procession to where the performance took place.
_ William Ray was sheriff and Marvin M. Hickox was his deputy,
who fixed the rope around the man’s neck while the sheriff sprang
the trap. In adjusting the rope the knot slipped, and instead of
breaking the man’s neck he was strangled to death.
As stated the murder was committed in Nevins township, and
was unprovoked and brutal. The scene of the crime was the erbin
of a notorious old woman, Mrs. Brady, with whom lived a daughter
a3 disreputable as herself. She lived near the old Brooks’ mili on
Otter creek, three-fourths of a mile west of the station formerly
known as Milton, on the Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad, about
a mile north of the present station of Grant where the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois coal branch crosses the Indianapolis & St. Louis
Railroad.
The place was then sparsely settled, and the old woman kept whis-
ky to sell, and here the hard characters met and danced and caroused
on many occasions. It was a low resort, and among those most
welcome to the place was Henry Dyas, who had a family but was
at the old woman’s cabin frequently, and stood well in her and her
daughter’s favor. —
| One Saturday evening in October, 1843, the woman quarreled

“Well, he admitted right off that he
was hunting in the woods oyer near the
other big tree Tuesday afternoon, and
said that he heard a shot fired along
about two o’clock, but that it sounded like
a rifle, The doctor says it was a shotgun
blast that killed the dog.”
“Going to arrest them?”
-. “Not just yet. I figure to get hold of
some of the shot from the dog and do a
little checking on guns and shells. As a
matter of fact, the empty shell may be
lying around here under the tree.”.
.A. thorough search revealed no sign of
the spent shell. Then one of the-farmers
. in the large group ‘still at the scene ap-
proached.
wwe! “Sheriff, I happen to know.that Ama-
zona thought that Ben Brooks and his
brothers, who live across the county line,
stole his chickens.”
“FAVE any of you seen the Brooks
boys while we've been search-
ing?” Hays asked the group.
“No, and we’d better not see ‘em,” one
man muttered, and there was a rumble
- of agreement.
“Now don’t go off half-cocked,” the
big sheriff warned. “I’m running this.
You think the Brooks boys are chicken
thieves, and they may be; but would they
try to steal Montgomery’s chickens again
in broad daylight? And why would they
kill him? It doesn’t make sense.”
“You'd better see them before; we do,
. sheriff,” another man in the crowd
growled. “They can’t get away with
killin’ a fine old man like Amazona.”
A Seymour undertaker arrived then,
and the victim and his dog were placed
on a stretcher and carried through the
woods to a lane that skirted the under-
growth. Accompanied by Wallace, Hays
followed the ambulance to Seymour.
The undertaker carried the dog’s body
into a garage and washed away the man-
gled flesh with a hose, recovering a num-
‘ber of shot from the floor. He turned the
little lead pellets over to the sheriff.
“Will those help any?”
“They'll convict a murderer if we can
find the empty shell they came from and
the gun that fired it.”
Hays took the knife and two handker-
chiefs found on the body to Mrs. Mont-
gomery. She identified the knife and one
of the handkerchiefs as her husband’s ;
but the blood-stained white square found
gripped in Montgomery’s hand, and bear-
ing the initial “B” in a corner, she had
never seen before.
The widow told the sheriff that her
husband carried a gold pocket watch
_ which had been given-him by his father.
It’ was missing, along with Amazona’s
money. ‘
At the inquest, late that afternoon, a
farmer testified that at about three
o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, he saw Ben
Brooks a hundred yards or so from the »
spot where the body was found.
“Ben was walking northward along
. Mutton Creek, carrying a pump gun.
‘Find any squirrels?’ I asked him. ‘Not
a damned one,’ he told me.”
Another farmer stated that on the
a
‘
morning of the murder he had seen old
Bess Brooks (Ben’s father), Ben, and his
brother, Henry Brooks, in a buggy on the
road that led by Montgomery's farm
home. “I didn’t see them come back.”
Then, when a clerk of the Jackson
county court told Hays that Montgomery
had filed a charge of larceny of chickens
against Ben Brooks, his father, and
brothers Lyman and Henry, the sheriff
decided to go after the clan.
Hays telephoned to Sheriff Albert
Wiles, of Jennings county, at his office in
North Vernon, to arrange for the arrest
of the Brooks men. ,
At midnight Thursday the two sheriffs,
accompanied by their deputies and Wal-
. lace, met at the county line and drove
through the night to the homé of old Bess
Brooks, Wiles and Hays deployed their
men to surround the house. The red light
of an oil lamp shone through a window,
but all was still within the home as they
rapped on the door.
“Bess!” the Jennings county officer
called; “open up in there. This is Sheriff
Wiles, and I want to talk to you.”
“Hell’s fire!” a voice bellowed: “aint
that Zonie Montgomery never goin’ to
let us be ? We'uns never stole his damned
chickens. Git away from that there door
afore I blow you to Kingdom come is
There was the creek of bedsprings and
the thud of heavy feet hitting the floor.
Then Hays’ big shoulder crashed against
the locked door, bursting it inward.
By the light of a dingy oil lamp they
saw a big, old man, with walrus mustache,
heading for a double-barrelled shotgun
which hung by a nail on the wall near
the door. Hays grabbed the gun, as Wiles
covered old Bess with his service re-
volver.
“Get dressed; you're going with us,”
the Jennings county officer told him.
‘As the old man crawled into his shirt
and overalls he kept up a.constant tirade
against the officers and Montgomery. Ap-
parently, he had heard that Montgomery
had disappeared but had not heard that
his body had been found.
From another room of the home they
routed out Henry Brooks, who submitted
in sullen silence as they handcuffed him
to his father. I
At a nearby shack another brother,
Lyman, submitted peacefully enough ; and
Ben Brooks did likewise, when his
brothers called him from his home a half-
mile down the road.
EN was a tall, raw-boned fellow in
his middle thirties—the oldest of the
three brothers. He had small, deep-set
gray eyes, a steel-trap mouth and long
black hair. Hays had known them all
when they lived in Jackson county, not
far from the Montgomery farm.
On the way to Seymour with the sheriff
and Wallace, old Bess, Henry, and
Lyman, continued to curse Montgomery ;
but Ben remained strangely silent.
As they were entering Seymour at two
o'clock in the morrfing Hays noted a big
crowd of men ‘gathered at the city jail.
The rumble of angry voices boded no
good for the prisoners. The big sheriff
stepped on the gas and shot through the

town and on down the highway to the
county jail, at Brownstown.
An hour later, when Hays arrived back
at Seymour, he found an even bigger
crowd surrounding the city jail. Cries of
“Get a rope,” arose from the mob. A
lynching appeared to be in the making.
The sheriff hurried to a telephone and
called a turnkey in charge ot the pris-
oners, instructing him to get in touch
with Jerry McOsker, an ex-sheriff.
“Have Jerry get two private cars ready
for a fast getaway. If the mob from here
beats mé down there, turn the prisoners
over to McOsker and have him head for
the State Reformatory at Jeffersonville.”
BA down the highway to Browns- :
town shot the sheriff’s car, with the
throttle open. At the county. jail he tele-
phoned to McOsker and told him to bring
the two cars there iri five minutes, Inside
the office in the old building the sheriff
and his badly-frightened prisoners hud-
dled behind locked doors. Outside a gath-
ering ‘crowd swelled.
Then, with the deputies and the hand-
cuffed suspects, Hays shouldered his way
through the muttering crowd, and the
cars bore southward. A half-hour later a
long line of autos brought hundreds of a
mob from Seymour streaming into the
old county seat town, to find their quarry
flown. :
Strangely enough, the prisoners asked
no questions during the fifty mile drive.
As they neared the prison, a spotted dog
bolted out through the early morning
light and barked at the machine driven
by Hays.
At the sheriff’s side, Ben Brooks gave
a startled cry. His sallow face-was gray
with terror,
“It’s just a spotted dog,” Hays told
him, “Why so nervous ?”
“I thought for a second... .” Ben
hesitated, then “. , . that you were goin’
to hit it,” he completed.
Hays smiled grimly. The dog had been
in no danger.
At the Reformatory the suspects were
locked in separate cells, far enough apart
that they could not communicate with
cach other. Hays told Warden Harold
Sheidler not to mention the murder to the
prisoners or let them see newspapers.
“They don’t know that we’ve found the
body, and they may let something slip,”
the sheriff said.
As-Hays Was leaving, armed with po-
lice photographs of the four men, he
looked in on Ben Brooks.
“I never stole them chickens from
Montgomery, Sheriff,” Ben said.
Hays determined to learn just who had
stolen the prize fowls. He drove on
through Seymour and over into Jennings
county to the little town of Scipio, lo-
cated ten miles northeast of the murder
scene. A poultry dealer at that village had
bought the stolen chickens and Mont-
gomery had recovered them by identify-
ing the leg bands,
The sheriff took along photographs of
a dozen police characters. Included were
pictures of the Brooks clan. The poultry
dealer flipped through the stack and se-
lected three photos. One was the mus-
4
’
tached old Bess Brooks. The other two:
were Lyman and Henry, le
Apparently, Ben Brooks was not a
chicken thief.
On the way back to the murder scene
for another survey, the sheriff stopped at
the home of Ben Brooks and‘ asked the
suspect’s wife for Ben’s pump gun. She
gave it to him reluctantly. It was fully
loaded with 12-gauge shells. .
Halting his car in the lane which sepa
rated the Mitchell and Wilkey’ farms,
Hays climbed the fence. and moved
through the underbrush toward the big
oak, carrying the pump gun. The sheriff.
thoughtthen of Old Dick, the big fox
squirrel with a black spot on his shoulder — -
that he, like hundreds of other hunters,
had tried in vain to bag.
Hays moved slowly, avoiding the dead’
brush, placing his feet catlike on the
weeds and high grass, and picking the
least-noisy path toward the big oak. :
Ten yards from the tree, the sheriff
stopped, the shotgun at his shoulder, his_
keen blue eyes searching the leaf-laden
limbs for the elusive squirrel. Then, high *
up toward the top, he saw Old Dick
perched on a limb not far from a hole in
the trunk, ‘
As the thunder of the gun broke the
stillness, there was a flash of red and
gray disappearing into the hole,
' As Hays ran. forward, something.
dropped from the tree into the weeds and
grass at his feet. The sheriff knelt down;
and a yell of mingled amazement and tri-
umph burst from his lips. The object, ;
apparently knocked from the hole by the
old squirrel as he scrambled to safety,
was an empty 12-gauge shotgun shell. '
_ Hays examined the shell. It had been ;
fired not many days before, as no rain
had fallen upon it, In the metal head the
had been made by the firing pin—a dis-
tinctive mark.
The sheriff worked the ejector of the

the blood-stained grass at his feet. Side
by side he studied the two sheHs, com-
paring the imprints on the caps.. They
were identical.
Hays headed back to the Reformatory, _
taking along the knife, the bloody hand-
kerchief found in the victim’s hand, pic-
tures of the dog, Spot, before and after .
death, and the pump gun and spent shells,
“These should get a confession from
Ben Brooks,” the sheriff told Sheidler,
as they arranged the articles on the war-
den’s flat-topped desk and awaited the ar-
rival of the prisoner. ; aie
As the turnkey appeared with Ben,
Sheidler quietly ordered the prisoner to
sit down. He did so, his deep-set eyes
glued.on the display.
“What have you got to say for your-
_ self?” Hays demanded.
“Take that stuff away and I’ll tell you
what you want to know,” Brooks said in
a choked voice.
With a sweep of a powerful arm, Hays
brushed the display aside and .towered
over the suspect. “Start talking,” he or-
dered, “and remember, no lies.” ‘

“Lies!” snapped the big sheriff an-
grily. “You accosted Montgomery at his
chicken house and made him walk to the
big tree. There you clubbed him to death
and: shot his little dog when it tried to
defend him. Then you robbed him of his
Ben admitted that the sheriff’s sum-
mation was nearly correct. At the point
of a gun he had forced Montgomery from
the ‘chicken house to the foot of the big
oak. There he hit the elderly farmer sev-
eral times with the shotgun and stamped
him. “As he fell, the dog ran at me and
I shot the dog.”
“What did you do with Montgomery’s
watch?” Hays asked. :
“T hid it in a stump on my farm. Ill
give you a note to my wife to help you
find it.”
With the note and a signed copy of
Ben's confession, Hays drove back to
Jennings county. At the base of a stump
in a tomato patch, covered by bark, the
sheriff and the killer’s wife found the
dead man’s watch.
Later that same day, following verbal
directions given by Brooks, other officers
located Montgomery’s missing hat a half-
mile east of the scene of the murder.
Late in’ October, Henry and Lyman

and, obviously, the bearer of good news.
“T told you!” he cried. “He’s in New

Marie trembled with relief.
“Oh, you don’t know what that means !
My poor Danny! Did he ask for me and
the baby ? Did he say when he’d be home?
Did you tell him to hurry ?”
‘ “Yes, indeed,” Keller nodded. “And,
by the way, he asked for a change of
clothes and wants another suit. If you'll
get them ready I’ll take them along and
send the package over to him.”
) Marie selected her husband's best ap-
parel, ‘including several fine shirts and
ties, and enclosed a note to tell him how
she missed him.
_ At Keller’s suggestion, she contacted
the Missing Persons’ Bureau and asked
‘them to remove her husband’s name from
their records since he had beef located.
At the, end of two days, Keller tele-
phoned her saying that he was going over
to New York and if she wanted to send
Dan some money from their joint bank-
account he would deliver it.
In the days that followed, he repeated
this request several times, and the har-
assed young wife supplied changes of
clothing and money. to Keller for Dan.
But though he said he was in touch with
the missing husband, he still could not
tell her- when Dan would return. And,
gradually, he became gloomy and de-
Brooks pleaded guilty to the larceny of
Montgomery’s chickens and receive
long prison terms.
A change of venue carried the murder
case to the Bartholomew Circuit Court,
at Columbus, Ind., where the trial opene
on Dec. 19. Four days later the jury re-
tired at 5:30 p.m., to weigh the evidence.
At 8:05 they were back with the verdict:
“We find the defendant guilty of mur-
der ... and that he do suffer death.”
Early in January old Bess Brooks was
convicted on the charge of receiving
stolen goods. He was fined and sent to the
State Farm for ninety days.
Following a delay, caused by an at-
tempt of Ben’s lawyers to carry the case
to a higher court, the killer was electro-
cuted at the State Prison in Michigan
City on June 1001922...
Nearly a quarter of a century has
passed since ‘the murder of Amazona
Montgomery, and many of the principals,
including the big sheriff, are dead. Most
of the woods and marshlands have been
cleared and drained, and fields of grain
wave now where blood ran red; but many
of the older citizens of Seymour recall
the murder on Mutton Creek and talk in
. awed tones of Old Dick, the squirrel that
was never bagged.

pressed, finally hinting that McNichol did
not want to come home, that the trip,
which had begun with business, had now
turned into a pleasure excursion.
“He keeps asking for money,” Keller
said, “and, frankly, I haven't got it to
give him. If he don’t get back here soon
we may as well close up.”
One afternoon, weeks after her hus-
band had disappeared, Marie McNichol
paid a visit to the factory. A vague un-
easiness possessed her. She, too, began
to question Dan’s absence. And a doubt
was growing in her mind about his long
sojourn in New York. She was by no
means ignorant in financial matters, and
she decided to go down to the office and
ask to see the accounts.
There was a strange silence about the
building as she approached it. She went
up and put her hand on the office door. It
was locked. :
As she stood there, the postman came
by.

pleasantly.
“Yes, My husband owns this place—”

“No, Daniel McNichol. Do you know
where Mr. Keller, his partner, is?”
“Why, the place has been closed up for
a couple of weeks,” he told her.
A few days later, Keller came to tell
Marie that Dan had gone to Boston and
had asked for more money.

RS. AMAZONA B. MONTGOMERY sat
on the porch of her home in Seymour, In-
diana. rocking back and forth. She was
Waiting for her husband: waiting with fear
in her heart, for it was now eleven o'clock
on that hot August night, and he should have re-
turned many hours ago from visiting his farm six
miles east of the city.
One of Jackson County's wealthier citizens, an at-
torney and a heavy landowner, Amazona Montgom-
ery Was a man of punctual habits; his wife knew
that he had intended to be home by supper time.
His daily chores at the farm were not heavy; Louis
Taskey, the share-cropper, did all the work with the
exception of feeding some stock and a flock of
chickens, which the owner himself tended.
Mrs. Montgomery knew well the familiar
hoof-beats of the blooded horse which her
husband drove; there were even certain dis-
tinctive rattles in the rig which she could
not mistake. Finally, unable to longer en-
dure the suspense, she rose and went to the
telephone,
A quarter of a mile east of the Mont-
omery farm lived L. W. Richart, an old
riend of the family, and it was to him that
Mrs. Montgomery eprored, asking him Oo
to inquire if Louis Tas ‘ey, the share-crop- or i
per, had seen’ her husband.
The night was dark. Lem Richart took
a lantern off the peg and trimmed the wick
before he set out toward the Montgomery’
place. He wondered as he walked. [t wasn’t like Mont-
gomery to stay away so long without communicating with
his wife. Only the crunch of Richart’s feet on the gravel
and the cracking of the growing corn broke the intense still-
ness; it was a typical mid-summer night, with the oppres-
sive heat of the day still bearing down, even though the
Witching hour of midnight approached.
As Richart opened the swinging gate at the barn lot and
carefully made his way toward the darkened house, he held
the lantern above his head and peered into a shed beside
the barn; there he saw the familiar buggy which his friend
had driven for many years.
Richart took heart: maybe nothing was wrong; cer-
tainly Amazona Montgomery had reached his farm and had
a the horse away, He had probably just been detained
y a sick horse or cow and had decided to stay overnight
with Taskey. However. still apprehensive, Richart
knocked sharply at Taskey’s door,
“Amazona been around here?” called Richart, as Taskey
responded. “His wife is worrying about him,” :
Instantly Louis Vaskey. if he had been asleep, was ‘alert;
he hurriedly pulled on his clothes and opened the door.
“T haven't seen Montgomery today,” he said.

“Didn’t you see his buggy in the shed?” asked Richart.
“T came home late from Squirrel hunting,” said Taskey.
“I didn’t go to the barn.”
“Didn't your wife know the buggy was there?” queried
Richart.
“She didn't say an thing about it,” replied Taskey as
the men entered the shed. They found a bucket of melon
rinds in the vehicle and Montgomery's work coat hung over
the back of the seat,
“Wonder where his pail of chicken feed is?” asked Tas-
key. “He always brought one from town.”
“It might be over in the old house,” said Richart, re-
ferring to an abandoned brick dwelling across the road.
now housing several dozen prize Barred-Rock hens.
A pale midnight moon had risen over the tops of the
hardwood forests, and a slight breeze was stirring the
corn tassels as the men paused on .the rotted porch of the
old building.
“His keys are in the door, Lem,” said Taskey. “Maybe
he’s inside.”
Apprehensively the’ men entered; Richart noted the bucket
of chicken feed on the mantelpiece over the fireplace.
“He got inside all right,” said Richart, pointing to the

bucket, then letting his gaze follow the lantern rays about
the room until they fell full upon an iron ring stapled down
in the center of the floor.
“That's the trap-door to the cellar,” said Richart. “Do
you suppose he could have gone down there, Louis?”
Louis Taskey did not answer; instead he took a bandanna
handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the great beads
of perspiration from his brow.
“Hot. tonight, Louis,’ said Richart, then repeated his
question: “Suppose he could be down there?”
“I wasn’t thinking about the cellar, Lem,” answered Tas-
key. “I was thinking about Amazona’s little white dog; it
was always with him. When we find Spot we'll find him.
That dog’s dead or he’d yip his head off. Lem, something’
terrible has happened to Amazona. This is business for the
law; let the officers go down through that trap-door.”
Richart returned home and notified Mrs. Montgomery
that their search had been futile. A few minutes later the
distracted woman had told her fears to City Patrolman C.
H. Wallace in the Seymour Police Station, and shortly after
one o'clock in the morning I was awakened by the tingling
telephone beside the bed in my home in Brownstown, fifteen
miles from the Montgomery farm. :

ahead of us. -
Wallace and I decided to make a thorough search
of fee and it was well we got there as soon
as we did, for posses of hastily assembled neighbors,
lanterns in hand, were swinging through the bottom
lands in such numbers that the night seemed filled
with giant lightning bugs; sincerely desiring to help
he but, nevertheless, destroying clues if Amazona
Montgomery had been murdered. I fired a couple
of shots and everybody came to the barn ard; |
asked the men to halt the search until aylight.
Lem Richart was
mighty impatient to
search the cellar of the
old house; he kept talk-
ing to me in low tones
and glancing toward
Taskey; he didn’t seem
to want the tenant to
hear him.
We went into the
house; the ring held
firmly as Wallace lifted
the stout oaken door. |
swung the lantern low
and stuck my _ head
down until I could: see
into the depths below.
Cobwebs strung across
my face and dirt from
the floor dropped into
my eyes; a rat rustled
in a corner, but the
cellar was bare. The
answer to the mystery
of the disappearance of
Amazona Montgomery
was not to be found
in that dark hole.
“T thought sure Amazona was down there,” said Richart,
as we walked away.
Throughout the night we continued our search; Mrs.
Montgomery bravely stayed up and acquainted us with
the usual procedure of her husband on such times as she
had accompanied him to the farm. It was his custom, she
said, to drive into the shed, unhitch the horse and put him
in a stall. Usually he donned his work coat before feeding
the chickens, but sometimes he fed them first, she said.
After that he fed the stock, strolled around the farm, re-
hitched the horse and drove back to town.
Apparently Montgomery had gone through his usual
movements that day up to the point where he put the can
of chicken feed on the mantelpiece, but from then on
there was no trace of his activities. Something had hap-
pened to him there before he fed the chickens, for the feed
was still in the pail.
Had he been kidnapped? Certainly he was sufficiently
rich to make that theory plausible.
“Did Amazona have any bitter enemies?”
wife.
“He made a few enemies in politics.” said Mrs. Mont-
gomery, “especially since he began fighting the bootleggers.
| asked his
ON MUTTON CREEK

He had been arguing with Taskey about the Management of
the farm, but that was nothing serious. Of course, you know
someone stole his chickens recently; the very ones he was
going to feed. He got them back again and he told me the
other day he thought he would go over and talk with you
as he believed he knew who had taken them.”
__ Now it was very evident that Lem Richart doubted Louis
Taskey’s story. His statement, that he had gone squirrel
hunting and had returned home and retired without knowing
Amazona Montgomery's buggy was in the shed, seemed un-
likely. | thought Mrs. Montgomery was a little doubtful
about that story, too. She tried not to show it, but beneath
her spoken words | detected an uncertainty; | wondered if
she had told me all that she knew.
As for the chicken thefts, these had been so common re-
cently that any one of a dozen people could have been
suspected. Montgomery’s chickens had been stolen and
recovered within the short space of three days during the
month. They had been sold to a dealer in Scipio, a town
in adjoining Jennings County. Being pedigreed Barred-
Rocks bearing leg-bands, they were easily identified. The
dealer had been able to give my deputies only a vague de-
scription of the man from whom they had been bought.
Nevertheless, since the trail of Amazona Montgomery
ended in his chicken house, | went back as daylight bright-
ened to examine it more closely.
In one corner of the room I could discern that shuffling
feet had disturbed the dust and chaff; someone had stood
there for a long time. In this same corner | found some
strands of heavy wire; one piece had recently been twisted
in two; the broken, shiny end plainly told what had hap-
pened. The wire had been sundered for a purpose, and, |
thought, a most sinister one. I believed Amazona Mont-
gomery had been fettered with that wire!
As I left the house, Mrs. Montgomery called me aside.
“Mr. Hays,” she began, “something terrible has hap-
pened to Amazona; he is dead or kidnapped or he would
have shown up by this time. But
surely he can’t be very far
away. Do you suppose blood-
hounds would be of any help?”
“They might,” I answered.
“TIL get the dogs from Bedford.”
Mrs. Montgomery waited at
Taskey’s place until the dogs ar-
rived. he animals took the
scent from Amazona’s coat and
went straight from the buggy
across the road to the aban-
doned house; there they barked
‘at the locked door; I let them
inside. They scampered for the
mantel and reared up, yapping
at the can of chicken feed, then
they turned and ran out of the
house, following a trail north-
ward to a_ highway culvert
through which one could pass
into an adjacent field.
There was a shallow pool of
water beneath this culvert and
the dogs paused to lap a few
times. Then they refused to go
on; they seemed completely to
lose the trail here; three times
they started at the buggy and
stopped at the pool.
“Montgomery was_ probably
put. into an automobile here,”
explained the dog _ handler.
“They lose the scent, which
means his feet were no longer
touching the ground.”
The thing began to look more
like a kidnapping every minute;
it would*not have surprised me
to learn that a ransom néte had
already been received in Sey-
mour.
Realizing that the dogs could
do us no more good, I decided
Detective
to let the posses scout the countryside while Richart and |
tried to pick up Montgomery’s trail out from town.
Ben Simon, a Seymour business man, returning from Cin-
cinnati, Ohio, said he had met Montgomery on the high-
way about a mile from the farm.
“He was alone,” said Simon. “I waved to him and drove
on.
“Did he have his dog with him?” asked Lem Richart.
“Why, yes, now that you mention it, | believe | saw a
white dog on the seat beside him,”” answered the merchant.
Simon’s statements about established that Montgomery
had ridden out alone and was not attacked, if ‘at all, by
anyone who had accompanied him or been picked up on the
road.
Now, Louis Taskey had said he was squirrel hunting. on
Monday afternoon, and Mrs. Taskey said she saw Mont-
gomery unhitch his horse about 1:30 p. M., but claimed
she had never seen him again. Yet, according to the mute
evidence in the chicken house, something had happened to
him very shortly after -he entered it. And if Amazona
Montgomery went directly to the chicken house from the
barn, as we had every reason to believe, then whatever
happened had occurred in the broad light of day.
I believed Montgomery had been wired up in the chicken
house immediately after he arrived, and had been forced to
walk between the corn rows to the highway culvert where
he had been placed in some sort of conveyance; he might
now be far away from the scene of the snatch; either far
away, or dead.
Standing on the highway, | gazed across the landscape;
a twisting line of trees stretched for a mile back of the
house until they blended with the horizon; tall poplars,
sycamores and hickories along the banks of Mutton Creek.
Amazona Montgomery might easily be dead in some cat-
fish hole in that crooked, muddy creek; all I could do was
continue the search. Richart and | started off together into
the fields; as we passed beneath the culvert where the dogs
had paused, | saw that the water had dried up;
in the caked mud were two sets of footprints.
One was the heavy working boot of a farmer; the
other a light soled shoe such as Amazona Mont-
omery wore. Beyond the dry pool and into the
ahd ield for a short distance | was able to pick out
only the heavy stamp of the farmer's boots, until
they, too, were lost in the soft soil.

For two hours in that blazing August sun Richart and I
scoured those corn rows unsuccessfully; finally, well fa-
tigued, we sat down to rest on a couple of large ripening
pumpkins.
“What do you make of it?” | asked.
“Looks like Amazona might have been carried over to-
ward Mutton Creek,” said the farmer, mopping his brow.
“If we find him before the turtles and the catfish finish him,
Sheriff, we'll find that little white dog. Taskey’s right about
that; if Spot was alive he’d be yowling his head off or he
would have come back to the farm. Now, if he had done
that, the Taskeys would have seen him? Why, he’d scratch
on their door.”
Richart hesitated as though he had something else to
“say but didn’t know whether to speak or not.
“What you got on your mind, Lem?” [ urged.
“Did Taskey tell you where he went hunting?” Richart
countered.
“Yes, over in Wickie’s Woods,” I replied. ‘“What’s that
got to do with it?”
“Well, I just wondered if Amazona went with him,” said
Richart.
“My God, man!” | exclaimed.
“I’m not accusing anyone,” said Richart slowly, “but
sometimes an accident happens when men go hunting and
one of them gets shot and the other is afraid he wifl be
accused of murder, so he keeps still, and gets into trouble.”
“If Amazona’s body is above ground,” | said, “it ought to be
found soon; there must be a thousand people looking for it.”
So on through the second sultry night friends, neighbors
and lodge brothers scoured the countryside for Amazona
Montgomery, dead or alive. Because of his prominence,
Indianapolis and Louisville morning papers emblazoned the
story of his strange disappearance with headlines.
Every imaginable rumor was now afloat. Some said the
wife had not told all she knew and that Montgomery had
been killed by a jealous husband; others thought boot-
regeing poltice enemies had done away with him.
I leaned toward a kidnapping; Taskey suspected
chicken thieves.
A call from Charley Smith, an engineer on the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, took me to Seymour.
Wednesday morning for a short while.
“I was leaning out of the cab,” said Smith, “‘as
we approached Little Sandy Creek, Monday

afternoon. Three men darted out of the corn and ran under
the trestle and there was another man on the ground be-
tween the’ rows, all hunched up in a twisted, unnatural
position.” .
“That may be the lead I’ve been waiting for, Smith,” |
said as | thanked him and started for Little Sandy, which |
knew was about one and a half miles from Montgomery’s;
Cora and Joe Jaynes halted me as | reached their place.
“Ben and Henry Brooks were over in Brown’s Woods
Monday afternoon,” said Cora Jaynes. “Thought you
might be interested.”
“The quail are not ripe,” put in Joe Jaynes quizzically.
“There are no squitrels in Brown’s Woods and the rabbits
have bugs at this time of the year. Wonder what they were
looking For?” ;
“Maybe turkeys,” said the wife. “Maybe chickens. Think
it over, Sheriff.”
Some people enjoy being mysterious; | didn’t need to
ask questions; | knew the couple were insinuating that Bess
Brooks and his sons, Ben, Lyman and Henry, were chicken
thieves; Amazona had been to see me about them two days
before he disappeared.
I drove on to the trestle and there in the sand | found
some footprints very similar to the heavy ones which I had
seen at the dried-up pool where the dogs had halted. |
entered the cornfield and began to examine the blades;
there were stalks with blood on them and the dirt was dis-
turbed as though some heavy object had been dragged be-
tween the rows.
But just when [| thought I had struck a hot trail, | saw
men converging on the railway track and pointing toward
Wickie’s Woods.
“They've found Amazona over there,’ [ heard someone
shout. ‘“He’s been murdered.”
I hurried to Wickie’s Woods. Amazona Montgomery
had been murdered, indeed; and he had suffered the most
excruciating torture before he finally expired. I'll have to
tell you about it because it had
a direct bearing on the solution
of the case—but get a hold on
your chair.
The dead man lay on his
back; there was a gaping hole
where one eye should have been,
and a broken spectacle lens be-
side his seemingly crushed head;
his arms were trussed behind
his back.
By “trussed” I mean that
pieces of wire like that found in
the chicken house had been bent
around each wrist, then brought
up over each shoulder and fi-
nally looped down between his
legs; a “lead” wire had been
hitched to this. These wires had
been pulled so tightly that not
only had mutilation of parts
occurred, but both arms had
been broken at the pits.
Agony was still plainly vis-
ible on the rapidly decompos-
ing face of the dead man as he
lay on his back at the edge of
the cornfield; the slightest tug
at that lead wire would have
made Montgomery “come
along,” but only dragging or an
almost super-human pull could
have brought about the mutila-
tion and broken arms.
Volney Carter, Leroy Malone
and Frank Price had found the
body, having merely stumbled
on to it during the search.
“Seen anything of the Brooks
while you were searching?”
I asked.
“No, and we'd better not see
anything of them,” said a voice
from (Continued on page 71)

The above facts are gleanéd frorn
Mrs. Hooverand Wm, FF. Bates,
and arereliable,
. Mrs. Bates. was born twenty-six,
years ago last July. Ier father was
a Union soldier, in an LUinois regi-
ment, After the war he removéd'
to Bourbon county, Kan., where he
resided.a short..tima on. a_..claim,
From thence her moved to Mont-
gomery county and took’.a_ claim,
and was beaten out of it. We then
attempted to yemove on the neutral
strip, but not-knowing the lines’ got
two miles oyer in the territory,
where hesickened and dled.’ At
thia time the writer remembers her
as a bright-eyed, dark-haired — little
lass of nine or ten years. She had
an older sister who warried.. shortly
after hec father’s death and. moved
north of Fort Scott. From thence
the family finally .drifted to-fowa,
and the unfortunate girl, after. fall-
ing to t-6 Victim of Just, fled to the
loveof a friend ‘for protection.
Tha intimations that she was un-
true to her husband, even under
the most distressing circumstances;
‘are cruel and unjust. Her life. was
spent.in fehrof what actually .hap-
pened, fer children, by their
looks, spenk of her fidelity. ter
life at Ilagerstown was. one of al-
most incessant toil, and her _ sur-
roundings were poor and humble.
Such is not the case with beautiful
women, like Kitty Bates, when
their charms are upon the market.
Bates arrived in Hagerstown on
the 24th of last December, and-se-
mained there until he murdered his
wife on the 23d day uf last March,
Iie haa no money and could. get lit-
tle work, and so he _ lived most of
the time as a pensioner on the hard
lnbors of his wife. Onthe day of
the murder he had been grubbin
for a man named - Burns, a “sho
distance nerth of town. He broke
his grubbing-hoe about half past 1,
and came to the biacksmith shop to
getit mended, The . blackgmith,
was out, and he went into an-*-ad-
joining carpenter shop, took outa
oeket lenife.and ground the larger
ade —the smaller one was” broken
off—until it was nearly as ‘sharp as
arazor. By that time the .smith
had returned and he had instructed
him. what tq do .to_. the hos. He
then left the shop and proceeded up
the back way and e::tered his wite’s
‘dweiling by the rear door,: It was a
lovely spring day. -The air — was
balmy, and the town. was almost as
quiet.as if wrappédin sleep. Farm-

appearcd Thudson was back im the stockade.
At the last moment, Governor Hendricks
delayed Tfudson’s execution from Decem-
ber 1, 1821, unul January 12, 1825. John-
ston wrote McKenney that many wanted
Hudson pardoned, but the agent believed
the condemned man would hang. Costs had
spiraled and Johnston now asked for four
thousand dollars immediately. Everyone
connected with the arrest, internment, and
trial had to be paid—the Madison County
sheriff, clerk, prosecutor, coroner, and
bailiff, even traverse and grand jurors. In
addition, Senator Noble was due five hun-
dred dollars for his legal services. But the
War Department wanted the convicted man
hanged regardless of costs.!*
A crowd gathered on the bottomland
north of Pendleton on January 12 to witness
the hanging. Because of the frostbite suf-
fered during his escape attempt, Hudson
was helped to the scaffold where he made
a full confession. The spectators had little
to say on their way home; many had said a
white man would never hang for killing
an Indian.}9
The drama was suspended until the
spring term of the court. By May, Madison
County was placed in a new circuit, Miles
Eggleston replaced William Wick as presi-
dent-judge, and Oliver,H. Smith joined the
team of prosecutors. Court proceedings
moved slowly on May 9 with only the
indictments presented and the jury impan-
eled. That evening Smith, consulting with
Johnston and Noble, decided first to prose-
cute Stephen Sawyer for killing an Indian
woman. The next day the hardy, heavy-
bearded jurors disappointed Smith by find-
18 Johnston to McKenney, Dec. 22, 1824, and

ing the defendant guilty of manslaughter,
bat he rapidly moved to Sawyer’s alleged
murder of the Indtan boy at the camp.
Dramatically closing his argument, Smith
waved the boy’s shirt about while his voice
rose in pitch and volume. “Look at this
shirt gentlemen, with the bloody stains
upon it; this was a poor helpless boy who
was taken by the heels by this fiend, and his
brains knocked out against a log.” Eggleston
charged a tearful jury which quickly found
Sawycr guilty of murder in the first degree.?°
The next morning Sawyer’s brother-in-
Jaw, John Bridge, father of cighteen-year-old
John Bridge, Jr., was also tried and found
guilty of murder in the first degree. The
citizens of Madison County obviously had
little sympathy for the adult murderers.
Although the jurors later that day found
the younger Bridge guilty of murder in the
first degree, they recommended that the
governor pardon him because of his age.
Motions by the defense lawyers for new
trials were overruled, and the next morning
Eggleston sentenced the three weeping pris-
oners to hang.?}
The assemblage that gathered on the
bank of Fall Creek for the triple execution
on June 3 was larger than the crowd at
Hudson’s hanging. A large Indian delega-
tion from Ohio—including relatives of the
murdered Indians—was present; Johnston
made sure the federal government paid their
travel expenses. About noon Sawyer and
the elder Bridge were brought forward and
placed together on a wagon. After the ropes
were adjusted, black caps were drawn over
their faces. With a cut of a rope the wagon
rolled downhill. Suddenly the powerful
Sawyer freed his hands and grabbed his
noose, relieving the pressure on his neck.
The sheriff ran forward and jerked his feet;

of ten o’clock in the forenoon and two
o'clock in the afternoon” but recommended
to Governor Hendricks postponement of
execution until the decision could be either
confirmed or reversed by the Indiana Su-
preme Court. In a lengthy obiter dictum
the judge elaborated on past wrongs com-
mitted by both whites and Indians and
urged more respect for the law. He focused
on the recent atrocity at Fall Creek and
rhetorically asked Hudson: “How could you
have the heart to make war upon, shoot,
and destroy the venerable old chief, whose
name ought to have been his passport from
the Mississippi to the Atlantic?” 14
Johnston had attended the entire court
session and was relieved at the verdict. The
agent was distressed, however, that the trial
had taken so long and wrote McKenney that
the others would not be tried until the next
spring unless the Indiana legislature passed
a law allowing a special session of the
court. Expenses thus far had been $1,075,
a figure which did not cover the trial. Since
only one of the murderers had been con-
victed, the special guard and incidental ex-
penses would continue until spring 1825.
Johnston suggested a special appropriation
from Congress to mect the considerable cost.
McKenney, pleased with the news of the
trial, immediately wrote Johnston on No-
vember 2: “The Secretary of War directs
me to convey to you his approval of your
proceedings in relation to the murderers.
He sanctions your appointment of the guard
and the price stipulated to be paid for it.”
Forward the vouchers for the trial expenses
as soon as possible, he directed.!®
In the meantime, Hudson’s attorneys had
appealed the case to the Indiana Supreme
Court on writ of error. Announcing its de-

112 PROLOGUE — SUMMER 1972
cision on November 12, the court gave short
shrift to all but one of the arguments ad-
vanced by the defense attorneys. Martin Ray
had not been allowed to ask prospective
jurors if they believed the conviction and
punishment of Hudson was “necessary to
secure yourself, your family, or the country,
from the retaliatory vengeance and depre-
dations of the Indians.” A positive answer,
Hudson’s attorneys tried to establish, would
have indicated that the juror held “undue
bias” before hearing the case. The court
admitted the point was “of some difficulty to
decide.” But, the court wrote, “shall an
enquiry be permitted of a juror the object
of which is to compel him to testify to his
own depravity?” Despite the questionable
opinion, the judges upheld the circuit court
ruling on the question and found no error
in the trial proceedings.!6
On the day the court announced its deci-
sion Hudson made his escape over the
Pendleton stockade with the help of the
other three prisoners. The condemned man
waded the cold waters of Fall Creek then
turned northeast toward Fort Wayne. After
walking several miles he became so chilled
that he hid in a hollow log, hoping for rest
and warmth. His exposed feet were frozen
by morning. In the meantime, the Madison
County sheriff had offered a reward for his
capture. ‘Two Hoosiers came upon Hudson
unable to walk and helpless in the Indiana
wilderness and brought him in.!7
The Indianapolis Gazette, unaware of
Hudson’s recapture, reported on Novem-
ber 23 that the prisoner had been able to
take off his handcuffs at pleasure. The
guards, thinking Hudson insane and harm-
less, had allowed him to store provisions
under a broad belt. The same issue carried
an editorial calling murder “reprehensible
whether it be perpetrated on a white man

it was too much even for Sawyer and soon
the two men were dead. The corpses hung
for about thirty minutes.??
The bailiffs brought the wagon back and
retied it. Young Bridge stood on this scaf-
fold staring at his dead father as the bodies
were placed in coffins before him. Finally
the black cap was pulled over his face. At
that moment the crowd in the rear began
shouting. Governor James Ray appeared
on horseback, rode to the wagon, and
handed Bridge a written pardon.?8
The previous month ninety-four citizens
of Madison County had petitioned Ray to
pardon Bridge because of his youth. Ray’s
announced candidacy for election the com-
ing autumn may have made him receptive

to popular opinion. Many persons in the
crowd thanked the governor; even Johnston
appeared pleased with the outcome. Young
Bridge’s mother now needed his support,
and his father had compelled him to join
the murdering party.*#
As John Johnston rode eastward to Piqua
that June day he must have felt deeply
satisfied. With strong support from McKen-
ney and Calhoun, the agent had initiated
and directed one of the most unusual civil
rights cases of the nineteenth century. The
arrest, trial, and execution of white men for
the murder of Indians represented a first
in the history of the United States. Johnston
had successfully fought race prejudice and
haphazard law enforcement and proved that
the legal system, however inadequate in
frontier America, could provide justice
when used boldly by officials of the federal
government. 2

‘The cour e being pursued, is destined 10
make quite a stir in this county overt the
question of capital tunishment. Many persons
are criticizing the prosecutor, lor going to In-
dianapglis to oppose the commutation petitions,’
They think © that when the orosecution was} ©
finished and a verdict was rendered that ail his
duties in that direction ‘ended apd that he is
showing an nworthy amount of feeling jn the
premises, We presume hat every sane man,
away down in. his inmost hear, below the
shrine of hatred, prejudice and false education,
feelg and knows what is right. “He may violate
this feeling but he does so mostly -with his lips’
and not with his'conseience. His idea. is to
‘appear-very stern-and relent]ess——--_—__-—_——
it may be true that

‘for opposing the” commutation’ of
the sentence of Bates, and It may
not be true; I have. not. suflicient

I am. well aware that Ihave not
done so. . As prosecuting apes A
I left nothing undone that l could
honorably do to secure the convict-
jon of Bates of the degree of the

him to be guilty. The | evidence
yas fully and.fairly - presented, the
trial was .just and impartial.
“‘Fwelve honest, conscientious, law-
beni men, acting under | oath,

penalty against him. And’ the
could not, under the - evidence, well
have done otherwise,.for they were
sworn to administer the. ‘law, and

is guilty-of mtirder in the first de-
gree shall suffer death, This .is the
primary punishment. For ‘this the
jury may, in-theif discretion, sub-
stitute imprisonment for. -life, but
the law contemplates © that ‘there

Dear Mr. Espy Jr.
Knclosed is ths only hanging done legally in Versailles.

Cotton! s Keepsakes they must have been hung in Ky.
Wwe nae an illegal hanging in 1897. A gang of thésves had
been ravaging the cents for weéks & months. It came to
a “ine sept. 15, 1897. Someone let the sheriff know that
a gang was to rob the store at Correct, near Versailles,
that night.
This camp to a head when the gang a few nishts before
had gone to the home of ab old couple to set money from
them, after sellins a hogs. The couple did not have the
money in the *‘ouse (log) as they were afraid of heing
robbed, The men would not take their statement that the
money was not in the house. So they heatied a poker and
burned the bottoms of their feet.

The posse the sheriff, Henry Busching, got torether went
to the Correct store and waited until the men were in
the store and then closed in. They caught them all took
them to the il and then the mob which had gathered just
north of town moved in. They were all dead of gunshot
#A8¥A wounds b fore they vere dragged from the fail and
taken to the bluff and hung on thé same tree. |
uy Latherinlaw said oR te ive your purse on the front
porch after this hanging and it wrvld not be disturbed.
The state sent two men to the county to find the leaders

Os Joun “I knew thee like a book,” many long years ago,
And often said, and heard it said, your days would end in woe:
Idle, and vain, and dissolute, and vulgar and profane,
How could you, or your friends expect, a better end to gain?
You see it now, but ’tis too late, your race on earth is run,
The forfeit of your life you’ll pay before the setting sun.
Bad company, you say, alas! has brought you into this,
A virtuous and a pious life-as surely ends in bliss,
But God is good, and merciful, his pard’ping grace implore,
The law exacts your wretched life, as I have said before.
I would not taunt you with the crime, for which you now must
die,
Nor would I add a single pang of sorrow—no not I,
But as a friend—a friend indeed, I pray you let each breath
Go forth in prayer, that you may find, “ pardon and peace” in

EXECUTION OF THE KELLEYS,
_ AT HAWSBURGH, EY.
four time ago, no matter when, two brothers by the name of
Kelly, citizens of Ripley county, murdered three men for
their money, on board a flatboat, descending the Ohio river.
In the Ianguage of an eminent jurist: “It was a cool,
calculating, money-making murder, the weighing out of so.
many ounces of blood against so many dollars in money.”
Their trial and confession, was at the time published to the
world, in pamphlet form, under the caption of, *The Mur-
der of Gardner and others, etc., to which the reader is re-
spectfully referred for a full and perfect history of this bloody ~
scene, It was, indeed, a most bloody and horrible scene.
Three excellent and unsuspecting men, reposing in quiet and
peaceful slumbers, to be butchered with axes and clubs, and
all for their effects, by men in their confidence and employ,
is most horrible and appalling! What a picture of human
depravity!!! My Muse thus paraphrases upon the sickening,
heart-rending, and fearful tragedy.
Tux sordid “love of money,” the root of all evil,
Has led thousands down to ruin, and down, down to the devil.
Men will lic, and cheat, and steal, or murder their best friend,
To get money to hoard up, or money just to spend.
Get money—at every hazard—get it at any price,
To have money in great plenty, seems so exceeding nice.
Bo thought two sturdy brothers, by the name of Kelley;
Who murdered their employers, and beat them all to jelly;
Tied weights unto their necks—sank them in the river,
And felt themselves quite safe, now and for ever. |
The secret was their own, no one else could know it,.
Not @ single bloodstain left, to reveal and to show it.
Not so fast vain wretched, men, mind what you are about,
'T is an old and true adage that “murder will out.” * Se

Versailles, Ind., 3-29212,
Friends
I am co-operating with Miss Violet Toph, of Versailles,
in an attempt to find the truth of a Ripley County tradition.
Miss Toph, a member of the Ripley County Historical Society,
wishes to include tne facts in a nistory of hipley County
which she is writing. Tne wnole story might even be of sone
value to tne Uistorical Society of your county. It has oc-
curred to us that you might be able to give us some helpful
information -- hence, my intrusion on your time and atteM@ion,
The tradition concerns tne one legal execution in hislev
County, wnich occurred Dec. 5, 1851. ‘The case Wiiich culmin-
ated in execution belonged to Decatur County, but was venued
to Ripley for trial. The man, John D, Bennett, was charged
with having poisoned William VMaddox, whose wife he was said to
be infatuated with, Yet
Convicted him. It is claimed that some years later the death-
bed confession of the widow, Mary Maddox, establisned his inno-
cence and her own guilt. In Ripley, this is accepted as truth.
We have a complete copy of tne trial obtained trom tne
court record, and are trying to get an autnentic statement of
tne woman's confession, This we expect to tind in old files
of Greensburg newspapers. It would aid greatly in tne search
if we knew the date, or approximate date, of the woman's death,
Naturally, the confession and death created an unforgettable
Sensation that parents or grandparents probably alluded to
thereaSter. Could yeu dive us the hamer #& a Sew old residents
bet fi on U8 de Ot oo je eee a9 He Sh EO
of Greensburg or vicinity who mignt give us some dlew to tne
date of the woman's death?
It will interest you to «now tnat laws ovserved in con-
nection witn this case have long since been repealea. The ex-
ecution was a daylight, Public atituir, and tne unfortunate man
had to pay the costs of nis own irleecetign a $423.50!
Any aid you muy give us in our search will be most nighly
appreciated by Miss Topn and myself.
Sincerely yours,

EXECUTION OF JOHN BENNETT,
AT VERSAILLES...
.
As bad boys are apt to be bad men, and come toa bad end,
I must say that the end of Bennett was just such an one as
might rationally be anticipated. I Say it not to wound his
friends, many of whom are highly honorable. But as an —
admonition to all who desire an honorable end, to live bonor-
sble and useful lives. And the tone and character of this
Poem, has that specific end in view. To be fully appreciated
and understood, you must consider the Author as a true old
friend, giving him a plain talk upon the scaffold, and his last

brought her husband to the rescue, whereupon Big Bottle
had said he was just pretending, and had retired, somewhat
abashed, to his own side of the stream.
Robert Wilmot’s experience was a bit more ominous. Jim
Lewis, Delaware brave, had bought goods at the Wilmot
store and pledged his silver hatbands as security for pay-
ment. Lewis kept the promise, returning in “two moons” with
the money which would: redeem his precious finery, only to
find that Wilmot had not kept the hatbands, but had sold
them meanwhile to another Indian.
In wrath, Lewis vowed to have the merchant’s scalp at the
earliest opportunity, and Wilmot believed it no idle speech,
since Lewis was known as the murderer, last year, of a white
man in the vicinity. Thereafter Wilmot feared ever to step
out of his cabin alone, insisting upon the constant companion-
ship of his friend, Dr. Livingston Dunlap. And even with this
protection, Wilmot hadn’t an easy moment, fancying that he
saw Jim Lewis lurking behind each tree, stealing forth, a
lithe brown shadow bent on vengeance. At length Mr. Wil-
mot could bear the situation no longer! He disposed of his
store and his stock, by night crept out of town and went back
to. his old home in Kentucky.
. Then, in the spring of 1824, all Indianapolis was alarmed
by the “massacre” at Pendleton, not far away—not far
enough away! It was a brutal and a shameful incident, one
which white men must deplore as an inexcusable breach of
faith by members of their race against an innocent people .. .
The nine Indians were quietly camping on the east shore
of Fall Creek; two braves, Ludlow and Mingo, their squaws
and children, hunting and trapping. The season for game was
opening, raccoons leaving their holes in hollow trees to search
for the fat young frogs in the water’s muddy bed. A week
the redskins had been there, occupied with their pursuits
while the daylight held, at dusk kindling small fires around
which they squatted, to eat and to counsel together.
They were wholly unsuspicious when the five white men
[74]
approached through the willow scrub that night, and Harper,
the leader of the five, grasped Ludlow’s hand, shook it heart-
ily and asked for assistance in looking for horses lost in the
forest. Harper and his comrades were unacquainted with the
dark woodland paths? Very well! Ludlow nodded, and mo-
tioned to Mingo. They got up.
“We will show you,” Ludlow said.
He took one path, Mingo another; the white men were
several paces behind. At a signal, Harper’s rifle crackled and
was echoed by a second gun. Ludlow and Mingo toppled
forward on their faces, dead as. stones.
Harper signalled again; the five killers turned and strode
back to the camp-fire where the women and children were
seated, heads lifted, abrupt terror in their staring eyes. :
Ludlow’s squaw queried in queer, broken English. “What
did you shoot? A deer?”
Harper answered—and silenced—her with a bullet, and he
made short shrift of the others, too. One of the boys ran;
but he was soon halted.
The killers plundered the camp of everything worth hav-
ing—food, pelts, ammunition—and then they fled. For an
hour or more the flames of the fire revealed the welter of
blood, the litter of lifeless bodies. s
News of the crime seemed to whisk upon the wings of
the wind, and all decent, conscientious folk were shocked
and apprehensive. The Indians had been Shawnees, a tribe
still powerful, who might demand vengeance. Suppose that,
in retaliation, the Shawnees should descend upon and wipe
out every white settlement? The United States government
sent William Conner on a round of visits to the chieftains.
“These offenders will be captured and punished,” Conner
asserted. “Do nothing, I beg of you, until you have seen by
what measures the Great Father in Washington will mete out
justice.”
Trusting Conner, the Indians waited.
Harper had got as far as Ohio, eighty miles, and was never

The very means resorted to, to ward off just suspicion,
Are messengers divinely sent upon the holy mission
Of waking up inquiry, of putting on the track
. The officers of justice, who pounce upon your back
When you least expect it, and lock you up in jail,
Till you shall stand your trial, of which you can not fail.
’T was so with these two brothers, both caught in their own
trap,
They found themselves arrested, and in “an awful snap.”
Were thence upon the charge found guilty of the deed,
That both should now be hung the jurymen agreed,
The fatal day arrives, they mount the scaffold high,
With trembling in their limbs, and in their hearts a sigh.
Confess the horrid deed—warn others by their fate,

Why should I longer dwell? enough has now been said,—
They both were hung together, ’till they were dead! dead!!

_PENITENTIARY—-THE YOUTHFUL CONVICT.
SEVERAL years ago, as I was descending the beautiful Ohio,
on my way South, I called at Jeffersonville, and went all
through the State Penitentiary, which is a large stone
‘building, of thick walls and heavy massive doors, with
* bolts and bars and heavy iron grates, to keep all sure and
safe who are sent there. to be punished for crimes and mis-
demeanors. There were men of all ages, and from every
part of the State, torn from friends and home, and doomed
- to toil. and privations, and to slecp in dark, gloomy cells
under Tock and key,” because they did not “remember
their Creator” nor seek and serve Him. O how I pitied

- hind to mourn and grieve for them. But my heart was
most affected at the sight of a little boy, about fourteen or
fifteen years old. He was sitting in the shade, out in
the brick yard, wringing his hands, and weeping as
though his little heart would break, trembling all over
as though he would fall all to pieces. On inquiry, I
learned of the Warden that he arrived there the evening
- before, on a charge of stealing a pocket-book, containing
some fifly dollars; that he had taken him out in the yard
to bear off brick, but that his grief and excitement had so
overcome him that he sunk under it; that he had ordered
him into the shade until noon, when he should take him
back and leave him in his cell until he had ao little re-
covered from his prostration, and become a little more
familiar with the scenes around him. This, certainly, was
exceedingly kind. I approached the lad, and laying my
hands gently and fondly upon his head, in soothing terms
I attempted to encourage and comfort him; that his year
would soon pass away, when he would be free, and I hoped,
would yet be a good boy and make a fine and useful man.
But the more I sought to comfort him the more he wept
in the bitterness of his soul. “O, I wish that I were dead,
My mother! Oh, dear mother.” My own heart was greatly
moved and affected, and I, too, “wept like a willow,” in
unison with him. But do you ask how it occurred that so
young « lad happened to be sent to the Penitentiary and _
not to the County Jail? IT answer: from what I could
learn he was one of those bad boys who sre always in
mischief, and none could control him. He was saucy and
impudent to his poor widowed mother; would fight and
quarrel with his little brothers and sisters and all his little.
schoolmates; would use most profane language, violate the
Sabbath, and young as he was, would drink and gamble,
which prompted him to steal; led on by wicked men -and
wicked associates. And as neither parent -nor teacher
could manage him, the jury sent him where he must obey;
hoping that he might thereby be reformed and made a use-
ful man. I know some just such hateful boys,.and if they
~ too, don't get to the Penitentiary, it will be a freat wonder. *

My little reader, I hope you are not one of those saucy,
impudent, ungovernable bad boys; if you are, I pray you
to reform immediately, so that “iniquity prove not your
ruin.” I made some verses about this little boy in the
Penitentiary, to which I will now introduce you, and hope
you will read and consider them well, and commit to mem-
ory, at least the last two verses, not for the beauty of the
poetry, but for the good and wholesome advice they contain.
Referring to the lad, E say:

TuE like before I had not seen,
Such mental woes and anguish keen,
My heart affecting ;
Laying my hand upon his head,
Young man, I kindly to him said—
Cheer up! expecting
By-and-by to be set free,
Then home and friends again you'll see—
Each sister, brother.
But more he wept, and sobbing said—
“Q dear, I wish that I was dead,
But for my mother!”
It was, indeed, a painful sight,
To see a youth in such a plight,
And hear him sighing,
As. though his little bursting heart
- Was pierced all through with sorrow’s dart
And he was dying.
For, far from home and all he knew,
In that strange place what should he do

arrested. The four who had shared his villainy were taken
into custody and confined in the log jail at Pendleton, where
they would be tried.
Judge William W. Wick presided at the court before
which the prisoners were eventually arraigned, and the trial
drew forth, either to prosecute or to defend, most of the
notable lawyers in Indiana, including Harvey Gregg and
Calvin Fletcher of Indianapolis. Judge Wick, a Pennsylvanian
by birth and education, was tall, straight as an arrow, per-
sonable; a young man, but well-trained and scrupulous. The
jury was a cross-section of pioneer citizenry, affluent men
and poor, of considerable culture or none at all, but mindful
of their duty and sworn to do it.
The defendants were, without exception, convicted and
sentenced to be hanged—what question could there be as to
their guilt? The sentences of three of them were speedily
executed, and in sight of hundreds of the morbidly curious.
The fourth prisoner, a youth named Bridges, was pardoned
at the very foot of the gallows.
As he huddled despondently on the rough coffin in which
he was so soon to be interred, Bridges, scarcely more than a
boy in years, saw a horseman galloping toward him, reining
in and rising in the stirrups.
“Stand up, Bridges!”
Bridges stood, shuddering and wan with horror.
“Sir,” cried the horseman, “do you know in whose pres-
ence you stand?”
Bridges did not know.
“There are but two powers known to the law that can save
you from hanging by the neck until you are dead, dead,
dead! One is the God of the Universe. I am the other,
J. Brown Ray, Governor of the State of Indiana. Bridges, you
are pardoned!”
And a good and merciful thing it was, everybody said.
Quite like Governor Ray, who had a flair for the sensational.
But Bridges, immature and remorseful, had won sympathy.
[76]
Let him be freed! Justice was served; and now if only the
Indians were satisfied—
They were. Impressed to a greater extent by the hangings
they witnessed than by the slaughter of their kinsmen, the
Shawnees said, through their spokesman: c
“Indians want no more white man weighed.’ Lene
The furore awakened a feeling of peril among Indiana folk.
What had happened might happen again, and next time the
redskins mightn’t be so amenable. Indianapolis had a militia
company, organized in an earlier day; perhaps it should be
Ctive.
Te bases of that year, a Major Sullinger had opened a
school in Indianapolis for the “instruction of militia officers
and soldiers”; the major’s effort, though abortive, had stumu-
lated interest which combined with the general disquietude to
revivify the military force and organize new companies of
the militia. a? es
Judge Wick was Indianapolis’ first brigadier. Drilling of
the troops was less regular than citizens might have wished;
but the parades were gala and never lacked an appreciative
audience. The line of march was sometimes out east, into the
country; oftener, west on Washington and Maryland Streets
to a field which was large enough for maneuvers. There were
no uniforms except those of the officers, no weapons but
squirrel rifles—or canes, pawpaw sticks, hoe handles or pieces
of split plank. Judge Wick and his staff were mounted. Back
and forth they galloped, their red and white plumes bobbing,
scabbards rattling, blades flashing in the sun, Small boys
and girls ran along, screaming, beside the plodding soldiers;
dogs barked, cows and grunting pigs loped to the haven of
fence corners; women rushed to cabin doors to cheer, to hold
up the babies for a glimpse of the gorgeous spectacle. Above
the boom-boom-boom of drums, the fifes squealed shrilly.
“Yankee Doodle came to town!”— ;
Militia parade day! It was the day for which the other
three hundred and sixty-four were made.

MASSACRE ON FALL CREEK
GEORGE CIIALOU
With winter rapidly ending, the nine Miami
and Seneca Indians camped on Fall Creek
were satisfied with their recent good for-
tune. After the women and children finished
making maple sugar and cleaned their ket-
tles, the families of Logan and Ludlow
would move north. Central Indiana,
drained by Fall Creek and other tributaries
of the White River, had yielded many prime
peltries to the skillful trappers, and their
sojourn in that part of the state had not
complicated relations with their white
neighbors to the south.!
But on the afternoon of March 22, 1824,
the tranquillity of the scene on Fall Creck
suddenly ended. Six whites—four men and
two youths—walked into the Indian camp
and asked for help in finding stray horses.
At the suggestion of Thomas Harper, the
searchers separated. Ludlow accompanied
the party led by Harper while Logan joined
the group with James Hudson. A short dis-
tance from the camp Harper slowed his pace
and shot Ludlow in the back, killing him in-
stantly. At the crack of the rifle, Hudson
fired a musket ball into Logan’s back; then
eighteen-year-old John Bridge, Jr., plunged
a nine-inch hunting knife into his chest.
The whites hurried back to the Indian camp
and shot the women and children. When
Stephen Sawyer noticed a small boy still
moving, he grabbed his legs, swung him

around, and smashed his head against the
trunk of a tree. Their bloody work com-
pleted, the white men left.?
News of the Fall Creek massacre spread
consternation throughout Indiana. Some
Hoosiers, suppressing their anti-Indian prej-
udices, demanded the arrest of the murder-
ers. Others feared retaliation from outraged
Miamis and demanded protection. Sheriff
Samuel Cory of Madison County afterward
listened to young Andrew Jones’s emotional
eyewitness account of the killings. Satisfied
that the boy was too distraught to have
fabricated the story, Cory called out the
local militia and directed search operations.
Within three days he had five of the killers
in custody at Pendleton, the county seat.
Harper, who had openly maintained it was
“no worse to kill an Indian than to kill a
wild animal” and who had planned the
massacre, eluded searchers in Indiana and
Ohio and was never apprehended.3

Despite the capture of all except Harper,
local citizens still feared Indian retaliation
and sought the help of John Johnston, the
Piqua, Ohio, Indian agent whose jurisdic-
tion extended to the White River region.
Shocked by the account of the massacre,
Johnston agreed that prompt legal action
was essential to prevent an exodus of whites
or an outbreak of hostilities. He also real-
ized that the crime had occurred on state
land beyond his federal responsibility.
Johnston wrote Indiana Governor William
Hendricks urging quick and vigorous prose-
cution of those jailed but received no
answer. In the meantime, he visited the
families of the victims and distributed three
hundred dollars worth of goods. ‘The
Miamis, however, were explicit that justice
called for much more than monetary
compensation.
The five whites were indicted for murder
on April 9 but because President-Judge
William Wick was ill the trial was post-
poned until the court’s October term. Indi-
ana law at that time contained no provision
for special sessions of the circuit court and
the spring and autumn sessions were but
three days each.®
The delay frustrated Johnston. He wrote
Secretary of War John C, Calhoun that a
“most shocking murder was committed on
the bodies of nine Indians” belonging to his
agency. “The incident,” the agent con-
tinued, ‘for cold blooded cruelty baffles all
description and in point of atrocity surpasses
anything that has ever disgraced the settle-
ment of this country.” Johnston was neither
a newcomer to the frontier nor a pioneer
romantic; he had served the federal govern-
ment for a quarter of a century and was
respected by whites and Indians alike.
Vigorous prosecution of the accused mur-

te
derers, Johnston argued, was imperative “to
vindicate the justice of the country in the
eyes of the Red men.” ®
Thomas L. McKenney, head of the newly
established bureau of Indian affairs in the
War Departunent, agreed with Johnston. He
asked the Ohio agent to make proper exam-
ples of “such monsters, to deter others from
deeds so horrible.” The secretary of war,
McKenney informed the agent, wanted jus-
tice brought to Fall Creek.?
Before Johnston received this reassurance
from Washington, he had traversed the ter-
ritory of his jurisdiction calming his Indian
charges and white settlers. He had also
journeyed to Pendleton, hiring four men to
guard the prisoners and construct a jail.
Madison County, the agent claimed to
justify the expense to Calhoun, was too poor
to furnish guards and Governor Hendricks
had “not acted...thus far” to secure the
prisoners. Johnston admitted his interven-
tion in a state matter was open to criticism,
but he countered that ‘‘no other measure”
would have assured detainment of the
accused. The frontier for two hundred
miles around Pendleton feared Indian
revenge, and nothing would satisfy the
Miamis ‘‘but the execution of some or all
of the murderers.” & :
When friends of the prisoners engaged
several able lawyers to defend them, John-
ston realized the Madison County prosecu-
tor would need assistance. The agent asked
United States Senator James Noble of Indi-
ana to use his considerable legal talent on
behalf of the prosecution. Noble’s accept-
ance pushed the federal government into
the center of the controversial case and

MASSACRE ON FALL CREEK

tune. After the women and children finished

raised another constitutional issue—an office-
holder in the legislative branch would be
employed as a prosecutor for the War
Department.?
Despite the constitutional complications
Johnston received the unwavering support
of his superiors. Calhoun and McKenney
approved all expenditures. Governor Hen-
dricks later admitted to Johnston that the
“sheriff was strangely negligent of his duties
and gave them [the prisoners] liberties
which would probably have ultimated in
their escape but for some precautionary
measure such as you have adopted.” Vhe
governor believed Johnston’s decision not
to move the prisoners to a more secure jail
elsewhere in the state did much to allay
Indian fears that the accused murderers
would be released. The governor predicted
the Indian quiet would continue unless the
murderers were acquitted.!°
The idle and the gossips of Hoosier
society could apply their vacuous talents
to the case until the fall term of the circuit
court. Pendleton, the county seat, had no
courthouse; the cabin of William McCart-
ney became the center of attention on
October 7 when the session opened. Dur-
ing the first day of the proceedings judges
William Wick, Adam Winsell, and Samuel
Holliday found the earlier indictments de-
fective and new ones were prepared. The
first charged that James Hudson and John
Bridge, Jr., “not having the fear of God
before their eyes but being moved and
seduced by the instigation of the Devil,”
had assaulted and killed “one Logan an
Indian in the peace of God.” 1
On the second day of the trial the make-
shift courthouse was filled. Most of the

jurors and spectators wore linsey-woolscy
outfits or leather hunting clothes with large
knives thrust into their belts. Vhis frontier
drama was free, and the attorneys were
among the best performers in the state. A
long pole positioned across the one room
of McCartney’s cabin separated the crowd
from jury, judges, and accused. Hudson
appeared haggard and downcast, his blue
eyes sunken in his head. When Judge Wick
asked his plea the prisoner answered “not
guilty” in a faltering voice. The principal
state witness was fifteen-year-old Andrew
Jones who had been with Thomas Harper
that fateful afternoon in March. The boy’s
story and the failure of defense lawyer
Martin Ray in cross-examination gave the
state a strong advantage. Knowing a con-
vincing summation was imperative if Hud-
son were to be acquitted, Ray recounted in
detail early Indian massacres of white men,
women, and children trying to arouse the
anti-Indian bias of his listeners. Senator
Noble followed with a forceful, emotional
speech, brandishing the bloody clothes of
the murdered Indians.??
Wick then charged the jury at some
length. He explained homicide in its dif-
ferent degrees and declared that the law
knew no distinctions of nation or color.
The murder of an Indian, Wick empha-
sized, was as criminal as the murder of a
white man. The jury deliberated a short
time, found Hudson “guilty in form and
manner” as set forth in the indictment, and
asked that sentencing be delayed until
morning.!8
When the court reconvened on Octo-
ber 10, defense attorney Ray claimed that
several errors were made during the trial,
but his objections were quickly overruled.
Wick sentenced Hudson to “be hanged by

“My guess is that he was kidnapped,”
the sheriff said; ‘‘and I shouldn’t be sur-
prised if there’s a ransom note waiting
in Seymour right now.”
Accompanied by' Carper, the sheriff
followed‘ the gully northward through
the weeds and brush. A few rods from the
culvert they saw in the mud, from where
the water had evaporated, the imprints
of two footprints. One was a light-soled
shoe, big and pointed; the other was a
heavy-soled work shoe, or boot, The lat-
ter partially obscured the first print.
Hays knelt to study the tracks,
“Montgomery and another man were
along here yesterday,” the sheriff said.
“Amazona was walking ahead. They left
the gully here, apparently, and headed
over in the direction of Mutton Creek.
By the way, Jim, didn’t you say you were
hunting over that way yesterday ?”
t
ne old farmer regarded the big
sheriff unblinkingly for a moment. '
“Yeah. But I didn’t see Montgomery
or anyone else. I did hear a shot, though,
on over there in the woods, like I said.”
Hays nodded. “We'll round ‘up the
posse and go over Mutton Creek and the
woods with a fine-toothed comb,” he said,
as he headed back to the farm home.
Carper, his weather-beaten face in-
scrutable as a Sphinx, followed.
The sheriff and Wallace held a con-
ference and organized the scores of
friends of the missing man to search the
fields and weed-choked ravines. Through-
out the day and on through the sultry
night the search continued, and the posse
swelled to hundreds ; but no sign of Mont-
gomery was found.
By Thursday morning they had reached
Mutton Creek, which wound through a
ravine a mile and a half north of the
Montgomery farm home. Along’ this
creek, years before, the woods had been
partially cleared away. Now sucker
sprouts and underbrush had so overrun
the land that it was almost impenetrable.
Only a few big trees remained, and
among these were the two mentioned by
Carper—the trees in which Old Dick, the
squirrel, made his home.
Scorning sleep, eight hard-bitten
friends of the missing man volunteered
to tackle the morass, four taking the west
and the others the east bank of the stream.
Pushing their way through waist-high
briars, brambles and swamp grass, the
men on the west bank approached the big
oak tree, located in the Wilkey. woods.
’ Suddenly, one of the searchers let out a
yell.” .-
“What’s up, Roy?” Volney Carter
panted,
Leroy Malone pointed to ominous red
spots on the swamp grass. Wordlessly,
they shoved on through the undergrowth
toward the big tree.
Near the tree they came upon a spot
Massacre
[Continued from page 43]
where the swamp grass had been flat- .
tened, as if during a struggle; and the .
yellow, bmg: grass was: dyed red with »
blood. fh
Attracted, by their shouts their two a
companions camjé threshing to the spot,
William Judd, a young.telegrapher/from
Seymour, separated: the. near-by, brush.
Under the noon-day sun that peered ©
through the thick leaves of the towering '
tree, something white glittered. © Judd
fought his way through the bushes, and
there before him, his face so mangled by ‘
blows that it was hardly recognizable,
was Montgomery.
‘Flat on his back the victim lay, left
leg drawn up and the left arm lying
across his chest, clutching a bloody hand-
kerchief. The elderly man’s glasses hung
from one ear, and a deep wound below
one eye had covered his entire face with |
a red mask.
At the dead man’s side, its head a
mangled mass and its fangs bared in a
vicious snarl, was old Spot, the dog.
Judd’s cries of horror brought his com- :
panions. Then two shots in the air—the’ -.
pre-arranged signal—summoned scores
more of the posse, including the sheriff -
and Wallace.
A deputy coroner, hastily summoned — +
by the sheriff, arrived shortly and ex- *
amined the victim. .
“Could it have been an accident?”
Hays asked.
“Not a chance, sheriff,’ the coroner
stated. “The dog was shot, but the man’
was beaten to death, It’s murder; and a
more vicious killing I never expect to
see.’
A search of the yictim’s ‘pockets re-
vealed no money, billfold or watch, merely
a small closed penknife and a soiled white
handkerchief. Apparently, the killer had -
robbed the victim. But the brutality of
the crime suggested that robbery, alone,
could not have been the motive.
“I figure that Montgomery was forced
to come to this forsaken spot, probably at ,
the point of a shotgun,” the sheriff rea-
soned. “Here he was struck down and.
beaten to death. The dog, which probably
trailed them, was shot; then both were
dragged into the bushes and hidden.”
“But wouldn’t the dog have attacked
the killer before they reached here?”'
Wallace suggested. “At least, he would "
have raised a rumpus at the farm.”
OT if he were friendly to’ the
killer,” Hays said.
“Meaning what ?” '
“Nothing for certain. But I understand
that only two men, beside Montgomery,
were’ particularly friendly to the dog— ,
Luke Brash and Jim Carper. Neither of
them has shown up here to look at the
body, I’ve noticed. Brash says he was
hauling gravel all day Tuesday. I’m going”

an angry -mob.
D. P. CHARLES -
ILENCE reigned, broken only by the thin chirp of
crickets, the distant croaking of frogs along the little
creek to the northward and the clump of Farmer Car-
per’s heavy feet over the gravel.
No lights shone from the little white farmhouse. Appar-
ently, the share-cropper, Luke Brash, and his wife had gone
to bed. mee
Carper, with a lantern swinging from a gnarled hand, made
his way to the house and rapped on the door. “Is Amazona
- Montgomery here?” he called, as a man’s voice demanded
querulously to know who was there. “His wife’s worryin’ about
him.” ee
A light flared inside; then the door opened and a little man,
still struggling with the galluses of his qveralls, peered out.
“That you, Jim? What’s that about Mr. Montgomery? I ain’t
seen him today.” .
“That’s funny,” Carper said;. “his buggy’s out there in the
shed. Didn’t you see it?”
Under the faint light a grimace crossed the tanned face of
the share-cropper. “I’ve been away all day, helpin’ haul gravel.
Got in late and didn’t go to the barn. Let’s have a look.”
““Didn’t your wife know about the buggy?” Carper asked, as
they headed for the barn.
“T£ she did, she didn’t mention it,” Brash told him.
At the shed they noted a work coat, which they recognized as
Montgomery’s, hanging over the back of the buggy seat; and in
the rear compartment of the vehicle a bucket of melon rinds.
A blooded horse that the retired farmer always drove to and.
from the farm was tied in the barn, still harnessed.
“That’s funny,” Brash frowned. “Say, he always brought out
a bucket of feed for them prize barred rock chickens of his. I
wonder where that is.”
“Probably over in the old house,” Carper suggested, heading
for an abandoned brick building, across the road. “That’s where
he keeps them hens that he got back after they were swiped.
Come to think of it, he never did learn who stole them chickens,
Who do you suppose took ’em ?”
By the light of the midnight moon a queer look crossed the
tenant’s face. “I don’t know for sure,” he said.
The chicken house was a former home, long since uninhabit-
able. On a key-ring in the front door were three keys, one of
them inserted in the keyhole.
“Maybe he’s locked in there, Jim,” Brash said; but a turn of
the door-knob disproved this.
They entered gingerly. The wavering light of the lantern
showed the big front room to be empty, except for several dozen
sleepy hens perched about. ;
“He was in here, all right,” Carper said, pointing to a bucket
of chicken feed which sat on the old fireplace mantel.
“Yeah, but he’s not here now,” Brash offered, as they went
through an open doorway into the room at the rear.
“P’'m not so sure about that,” Carper told him, pointing to an
iron ring stapled into the floor of the room. “That’s a trap door
to an old cistern. Maybe he’s down there.” ;
For a moment Brash made no reply. He stared at his big
companion with an odd look and mopped at his own brow
nervously with a bandana handkerchief.
“What about Amazona’s little fox terrier, Jim?” the tenant
farmer said, “Spot was always with him, That dog must be dead,
or he’d be barking his head off. I’m gettin’ out of here, This isa
job for the Law. You go call ’em, and let them look in that
cistern.”
Carper hurried back to his home a quarter of a mile to the
eastward and telephoned Mrs. Montgomery at her little bunga-
low on the corner of Fourth and Vine streets, in Seymour, Ind.
“Brash says that he hasn’t seen your husband. Amazona’s
horse and buggy are at the farm, but we couldn’t find any trace
of him, You'd better get the sheriff.”
Mrs. Montgomery, a quick-moving little gray-haired woman,
hurried to the Seymour police station where she told her fears
to Patrolman C. H. Wallace. He listened patiently. Wallace
knew Montgomery as a big old man, well-liked by most people
but so honest and plain-spoken that he might have made
eneniies, ;
“I'll get in touch with the sheriff and we'll go right out to
the farm. In the meantime, don’t worry,” the patrolman said,
Futile advice this ;, Mrs. Montgomery was worried. But, de-
termined to aid in finding her missing husband, she contacted
a relative and they drove out through the night to the farm,
four miles to the eastward,
Meantime, Wallace telephoned to Sheriff J. Otis Hays at his
home in Brownstown, the old county seat. Tersely the patrol-
man told what he knew of the mystery. Hays, a giant blond man
of middle age, hurried to Seymour, where he picked up. Wallace.
They drove to the Montgomery farm, arriving shortly after
1 a.m.
A SCORE of lanterns moved about in the darkness. A posse
of neighbors was already searching the bottomlands.
“They'll destroy more clues than they find,” Hays thundered.
“We'll stop that, right now.” ;
The sheriff fired two shots into the air,
in on the run. Tersely, . then,
them to desist until he could
search.
Inside the home of Brash, Hays’ singled out Mrs. Mont-
gomery. “Did your husband have any enemies ?” he asked.
“He might have made some in politics,” she said, hesitatingly.
“He’s been fighting the bootleggers.” y
She also suggested that the stolen chickens might pe at the
root of the mystery and mentioned that her husband had said
that he intended to go to Brownstown to see the sheriff, hinting
that he knew who had taken the prize fowls, ;
One of the neighbors called Hays aside and told him that
Amazona had recently had an argument with Brash concern-
ing the management of the farm, The sheriff weighed this in-

Mrs. Brash, an. agile little woman, told Hays that, she had
seen, Montgomery drive up to the barn at about 1:15 the ‘pre-
ceding afternoon but did not see him after he left the buggy..

In the rear room of the chicken house Wallace took a firm:
grip on the ring and lifted the heavy trap door, disclosing a’
black opening in the floor. Kneeling, the big sheriff swung hi
lantern low and looked down. From below came the sound of ;
scurrying rat, Cobwebs gleamed’ brightly. A‘ little: wate
sparkled at the bottom of the hole; but there was no sign..of
body. ; ; } Pah,

“IT sure thought Zonie was down there,” Carper said.
- Routine questioning of the neighbors followed. One farmer
told the officers that he had seen two men in a truck near the
Montgomery farm the preceding afternoon. One man lay in
the back of the truck, apparently ill or drunk. The other man
had told the farmer that he was out of oil and was trying to
‘borrow some... >
“He told me that the man in the rear was sick and that he
‘intended to take him to Seymour.”
“Did you know them?” Hays asked. j en
“No; but I got a good look at the driver and I could identify
him.”
_ Carper’s statement, was interesting. He said that he drove to
Seymour Tuesday morning and got back home at noon, passing
the Montgomery farm. No one was about.
“After dinner I went north to the bottoms, hunting squirrels
in the thicket and woods. I knew they usually played around
ve farm i two big trees in the woods, so I headed for there. When I
ene cureg reached the first big tree, at about two o'clock, I heard a shot.
It seemed to come from the direction of the other tree, but I
couldn’t tell for sure. It sounded like a rifle.”
“Did you see anyone while you were in tHe woods?” the
sheriff asked.
“Not a soul.”
’ Asked why he happened to go hunting, Carper said that he
was something of a sportsman.
“There’s one squirrel we call ‘Old Dick’ that I’ve been gun-
ning for years. He hangs out around the big trees. I didn’t see
him yesterday, though, and figured that the fellow who fired
the shot might have bagged him.”
“Let’s hope it was just a squirrel,” Hays said.
As morning dawned the posse spread out and beat through

At eleven o'clock that morning W, M. Crawford arrived with
two big, long-eared dogs. Taking the scent from the missing
man’s coat, the animals loped straight from the buggy across
the road to the chicken house, then turned east and north to the
highway culvert which led into a weed-ridden field.
The dogs lapped at the shallow water under the culvert a
few times, then ran in circles along the bank, refusing to go
further, Four times they followed the same trail from the buggy
to the water.
“They lose the scent here,” Crawford explained. “That means
that Montgomery was either put into an automobile here or
that he walked into the water.” [Continued on page 82]

On Joux “I knew thee like a book,” many long years ago,
And often said, and heard it said, your days would end in woe:
- ‘Idle, and vain, and dissolute, and Vulgar and profane,
How could you, or your friends expect, a better end to gain?
You see it now, but ’tis too late, your race on earth is run,
The forfeit of your life you'll pay before the setting sun.
Bad company, you say, alas! has brought you into this,
A virtuous and a pious life-as surely ends in bliss.
But God is good, and merciful, his pard’ning grace implore,
The law exacts your wretched life, as I have said before.
I would not taunt you with the crime, for which you now must
die,
Nor would I add a single pang of sorrow—no not I,
But as a friend—a friend indeed, I pray you let each breath
Go forth in prayer, that you may find, “ pardon and peace” in
- - death.

Dear me, he swings, convalsed—'t is o’er—the spirit’s fled,

‘Young men, a timely warning take, be sober, honest, just,

So shall your lives, be lives of peace, your mem’ries ever

When you from earth shall pass away to an eternal rest.

. CROMINAL.
EXECUTION OF THE KELLEYS,
“at HAWSBURGH, KY.
Sowt time ago, no matter when, two brothers by the name of
Kelly, citizens of Ripley county, murdered three men for
their money, on board a flatboat, descending the Obio river.
In the language of an eminent jurist: “Tt was a cool,
calculating, money-making murder, the weighing out of so
many ounces of blood against so many dollars in money.”
Their trial and confession, was at the time published to the
world, in pamphlet form, under the caption of, “The Mar-
der of Gardner and others, etc., to which the reader is re-
spectfully referred for a full and perfect history of this bloody
scene. It was, indeed, a most bloody and horrible scene.
Three excellent and unsuspecting men, reposing in quiet and
peaceful slumbers, to be butchered with axes and clubs, and
all for their effects, by men in their confidence and employ,
is most horrible and appalling! What a picture of human —
depravity!!! My Muse thus paraphrases upon the sickening,
beart-rendiog, and fearful tragedy.
Tux sordid “love of money,” the root of all evil,
fas Jed thousands down to ruin, and down, down to the devil.
Men will lie, and cheat, and steal, or murder their best friend,
To get money to hoard up, or money just to spend.
Get money—at every hazard—get it at any price,
To have money in great plenty, seems so exceeding nice.
Bo thought two sturdy brothers, by the name of Kelley;
Who murdered their employers, and beat them all to jeily;
Tied weights unto their necks—sank them in the river,
And felt themselves quite safe, now and for ever. |
The secret was their own, no one else could know it,.
Not @ single bloodstain left, to reveal and to show it _
Not so fast vain wretched, men, mind what you are about,
"Tis an old and true adage that “murder will out”?

value to tne Tlistorical Society of your county. It has oc-
curred to us that you might be able to give us some heipfut

Yet many prayers in his behalf,
Were offered up, while some few laugh,
The shrieks and sighs all through the crowd
Were heard distinctly, faint or loud.
If you'd been there, or stood near by,
"Tis thus you would have heard me cry,
Have mercy Lord, on his poor soul
Let heaven be its final goal.
He’s struggling, gasping, dying—gone,
In vain for him, his friends may mourn,
Nor do we know that he has need,
We trust from pain he now is freed.
_Young men and maidens look around,
To-you indeed, a solemn sound,
,Q make your proper vows all true,
Lest sin and pain are caused by you.
Could we but know, could we but hear,
The sorrow of his mother dear;
When unto her the news shall come,
That her dear son is surely hung.
A lamentation she will make,
Enough the heart of stone to break,
How shall I drink this bitter cup?
And give my son for ever up.
His brothers dear, could we but spy,
And sisters, too, hear how they cry,
. Alas! péor brother, fare you well,
. «

Our sorrows surely none can tell.

© could we know what parents know,
When their-dear children from them go,
They mourn, they weep, they sigh, they grieve,
+» When sbildeen take their friendly leave.
They view the world, filled up with cares,
Temptations here, and yonder snares,
I need not dwell—you all can tell,
Who love their children wish them well.
Come children ye, from parents borne,
Lest they for you should weep and mourn,
Come seek, and serve God day and night,
That they in you, may take delight.
Tis now high time, I must forbear,
And [I will close with this short prayer,
Lord help us to obey thy call,
Preserve. us here—then save us all.

EXECUTION OF JOHN BENNETT,
AT VERSAILLES.
As bad boys are apt to be bad men, and come to a bad end,
I must say that the end of Bennett was just such an one as
might rationally be anticipated. I Say it not to wound his
friends, many of whom are highly honorable. Bat as an
admonition to all who desire an honorable end, to live honor-
able and useful lives. And the tone and character of this
Poem, has that specific engin view. To be fully appreciated
and understood, you must consider the Author as a true old
friend, giving him a plain talk upon the scaifuld, and his last

April, 1937
“What kind of a shotgun did you have,
Ben?” I queried.
“A double barrel,” replied Ben, and |
felt he had lied again. One shell had been
found at the spot in the woods. If he
had fired two shots, as he had said, the
other shell would have been ejected at the
same time and would naturally have been
found there, unless he had picked it up
and taken it away with him, which was
most unlikely.
“Then what did you do?” | asked.
“IT went up to Lyman’s place and told
him I guessed | had done something |
hadn't oughter done; | told him I had
shot Amazona Montgomery because_he
had called me a chicken-thief,” said Ben.
“Lyman asked me where the body was
and | said down in the woods; and he
said they would go down and take a look
and see if he was dead. | don’t know if
ap went, but | think not. That’s all |
now; | asked them if they did anything
to the body and they said they couldn't
just then as Louis Taskey was over in
the woods hunting squirrels and they were
afraid to move it.” :
“But Ben,” | said, “there is evidence
to show that the body was moved. He was
all wired up, too. Did you know that?”
“W ELL, maybe some of the others did
move it,” said Ben, evasively. “But
they didn’t do the killing.” _ F
“His watch is missing,” | said. “Now, if
ou have that watch yourself it would
hele to prove that your story of being
alone with Montgomery was true; if no-
body was there but you two, | don’t see
how anybody could disprove your story
about the fight.”
“That’s right, Sheriff,” said the harassed
man. “Nobody but me and God Almighty
knows what happened there in the woods,
and nobody but me and God Almighty
knows where the watch is. I’ll prove to
you that | am telling the truth. Give me
a pencil and a piece of paper.”
t complied with the request and Ben
Brooks wrote a note to his wife instruct-
ing her to take me to a certain stump in
the tomato patch back of the house. |
“You'll find the watch there,” he said.
I went to Ben Brooks’ farm on the
Jennings County hillside. I showed the
note to Mrs. Brooks and she took me to
the stump; and there, buried at its base, |
found Amazona Montgomery’s watch. |
now had something with which to direct-
ly connect Ben Brooks with the murder.
1 returned to Jeffersonville and informed
the prisoner I was relieved that he had
told me the truth, and pretended | was
sorry he had had to shoot Montgomery
in self defense.
“I was mighty mad, Ote,” he said. “You
would be mad too, if anybody called you

a dirty chicken-thief and pulled a knife.”
“Ben, you’ve been lying to me right
along,” I said. “But you know I have
never lied to you; isn't that right?”
“No, Sheriff, | can’t say as you lied to
me, and |—”
I didn’t let him finish; I wanted to do
the talking now; he was merely going to
say that he had not lied to me, either.
“I’m going to tell you what you did to
ontgomery,” I said. “And
pigs word will be the truth, You waited
in the chicken house for him; you cov-
ered him with your gun; then you made
him back up while you wired his hands
behind him. You fixed that wire with
devilish cunning so that when you pulled
he would be in such pain he would have
to come along.
“You walked in the corn until you
came to the ditch, then you crossed
through the culvert under the road. |
found your footprints and Amazona’s in
the mud there. You took him to your
brothers and your pappy, and you tried to
make him say he wouldn’t prosecute you
for stealing his chickens, for you knew he
had the goods on you: the Scipio dealer
told you that Amazona knew who had
stolen his Barred-Rocks. But you all got
madder and madder; you pulled and
dragged him along for two miles, twisting
that wire and torturing him. You knocked
his head in with a rock or gun.
“Then you shot the dog because he
came at you. You were afraid the shot
might bring Louis Taskey, whom: you had
seen coming toward the woods. You
jabbed the gun barrel into Amazona’s eye,
and then you sneaked away. That’s how
it happened, Ben, not the way you said.”
“W7 OU leave the rest of them out of this,
Ote Hays,” said Brooks slowly. “You'll
never get any other story than the one |
have told you. I killed Amazona Mont-
gomery in Wickie’s Woods because he
called me a dirty chicken-thief and came
at me with a knife.”
And Ben Brooks never did tell any other
story than that. Nor did his family admit
anything about the murder.
Ben Brooks was tried under a change of
venue, in the Bartholomew County court
at Columbus, Indiana; he was convicted
and sentenced to death, mainly on pos-
session of the watch and his own confes-
sion, a version of which he signed for me
in the Jeffersonville reformatory.
Bess Brooks and the two other broth-
ers, identified by the Scipio pouty dealer
as the men who had sold him Amazona
Montgomery’s Barred-Rocks, were con-
victed of grand larceny and sentenced to
serve long terms in the Pendleton reform-
atory.
Ben Brooks was electrocuted at Michi-
gan City on June 10th, 1922. His last
words amounted to almost a confession
that others had participated in the crime.
He said, “Thank God nobody but me had
to die for killing Amazona Montgomery.”
For a while Louis Taskey had been in a
tough spot; it goes to show how circum-
stances can point in the wrong direction
if not properly interpreted, for the tenant
was in no way connected with the murder
of Amazona Montgomery. I was mighty
glad that | hadn’t accused him and there-
fore didn’t have to make an apology, and
| found that Richart was thankful that he
had never thought of his neighbor being
connected with the disappearance other
than through some accident.
“Louis Taskey was a fine neighbor,”
said Richart. “And | hated to think he
knew anything he wouldn’t tell; and he
didn’t either. He had the right hunch
about the Brooks from the time we found
that pail of chicken feed. No wonder he
didn’t want to open that cellar door.”

Suspicious that the Brooks are chicken
thieves, and they may be, but would they
have been in Montgomery’s pen in broad
daylight, and why would they do a thing
like this to him?”
“Let them prove where they were Mon-
day afternoon,” said Louis Taskey.
“Amazona probably caught them in the
chicken house. Likely they found out |
had gone hunting.”
“You'd better see them first, Sheriff,”
said still another posseman, “before we
do. They can’t get away with this.”
“Here’s something which may help you,”
broke in Volney Carter, handing me an
empty .12 gauge shotgun shell aa a small
pocket knife.
I turned again to gaze at the dead man
and recalled the prophecy of Richart;
Spot lay across the body of his master,
his head blasted, | thought, with a shotgun
charge.
ND, with the finding of the dog’s body,
we had a problem in canine conduct.
If Montgomery had been wired at the
chicken house and pulled along with the
“lead wire,” would the dog have followed
quietly or would he have yipped and
barked at the kidnapper?
Bloody evidence at the spot where dog
and master were found proved conclusive.
ly that Spot had been shot there, and
thus it appeared that whether he did or
didn’t bark he had followed Montgomery
while he was marched away to death. Ac-
cepting appearances I drew two conclu-
sions: that. Montgomery had submitted
without resistance and had failed to alarm
the dog, or that the kidnapper was a per-
son known to Spot and this had caused
him to remain quiet.
Louis Taskey and Lem Richart were
the only neighbors with whom Mrs. Mont-
gomery believed the dog was friendly. The
body had been found in the verv woods
where the tenant said he went to hunt: if
Taskey had any guilty knowledge, why
did he tell that? And, if he wired Mont-
gomery in the chicken house, what about
the three men whom Engineer Smith had
seen?
Mystery was piling upon mystery in this
curious case and still another was added
when it was revealed by the inquest that
Montgomery had not’ died from quick
gunfire; he had succumbed from pain of
torture and blows on the head. Only re-
venge, | thought, could supply the motive
for such a horrible deed.
The manner in which Montgomery had
Lyman Brooks
been trussed left reason to believe that he
ad been murdered because of some illicit
love affair, probably by a jealous husband.
But, as | came out of the morgue in
Seymour, | encountered a group of Mont-
gomery's neighbors who took no stock in
that idea; Taskey seemed to be the spokes-
man for them.
“Aren't you going to arrest the Brooks?”
he asked. Ri
“I’m going out there now,” | replied.
“But | don’t need any help; | can take
them. You fellows keep your shirts on
and be sure you don't hang the wrong
man!”
Realizing the danger of a lynching, |
had decided to take the Brooks clan into
custody; I telephoned Sheriff Albert Wiles
in Jennings County where the family
lived and told him what I wanted to do.
“l’ll meet you with several deputies at
the crossroads below old Bess Brooks’
place,” said Wiles. “These ex-Kentuckians
are tough and they don’t like the law, no
matter what it comes for. I'll swear out
a warrant for chicken stealing so we can
hold them legaily.”
An hour later we assembled at the ap-
pointed spot; a neighbor who observed us
and guessed our purpose hurried up out of
breath.
“Be careful when you go up there,
boys,” he said. “Old Bess has been sitting
on the front parch all day with his shot-
gun across his lap, cussing Amazona
Montgomery.”
HERIFF WILES and | deployed our
men and approached the door of the
house; it was dark now; there was no
light within save a single coal-oil lamp.
“Bess, this is Sheriff Wiles,” called out
my colleague. “Open up—we want to
talk_with you.”
“Darnation,” called back the old man.
“Ain’t that Amazona Montgomery ever
going to leave us Brooks be? We never
took his chickens. Get away from that
door afore | blow your head off.”
could hear the old man getting out
of bed and | didn’t stand on ceremony;
I crashed in and grappled with him as he
grabbed for his shotgun beside the door;
another second would have been too late.
“You ought to be ashamed the way
you treat us,” raved the old man as he
dressed. “We ain't done nothing.”
Henry Brooks came in from the next
room and we handcuffed him to his father.
Lyman surrendered peacefully at his home
near by, and Ben did the same when his
brothers called him out of his farmhouse
a mile down the road.
On the way to Seymour, old Bess, Ly-
man and Henry kept cursing Amazona
Montgomery for causing their arrest: Ben
Was strangely silent. He had always
seemed to me the best of the lot and I
doubted if he was guilty of chicken steal-
ing, but I wondered just how mad he
would get at a man who accused him false-
ly; behind his gray eyes there smoldered
a queer light.
Within an hour after the Brooks were
jailed in Seymour the spirit of the “White
Caps” who hanged eighteen men there in
the '70’s flared anew; a thousand men and
women, having decreed the Brooks guilty
already, surged toward the jail. Cries of
“Get a rope!” were heard; it was soon evi-
dent that a lynching bee was in the mak-
ing. Swiftly, secretly, | transferred my
prisoners to the county jail at Browns-
town.
But the story of the terrible torture and
mutilation of Amazona Montgomery had

Master Detective
whipped the crowds in Seymour to a
frenzy. When I arrived there again |
found a rumor on the street that Charley
Smith had positively identified the Brooks
as the men he had seen dragging Mont-
gomery through the cornfield near Little
Sandy. The rumor wasn’t true, but
that made it none the less dangerous. |
hastened to a telephone.
“Lock the jail and give the key to the
housekeeper,” | instructed Deputy Bark-
man. “Tell her to take it to Jerry Mc-
Osker (an ex-sheriff) in the clothes bas-
ket and have him get two private cars
ready for a fast run. If it gets too tough
before | get there turn the men over to
McOsker.”
In fifteen minutes I covered the twelve
miles to the county seat. I told McOsker
to bring the cars to the jail in five min-
utes; then I went over and unlocked the
cell in which the Brooks were held and
told them to follow me; we huddled in-
side my office, watching for the cars,
“Come on,” I ordered when the cars
stopped, and with my deputies and the
Suspects we made a break through the
rapidly gathering mob: half an hour
later the Seymour reinforcements, 500
strong, rolled into Brownstown, only to
find their quarry gone.
I DIDN’T tell the Suspects they were
being taken to the New Albany jail, or
why, puting the 50-mile trip. I made no
mention of the finding of Montgomery,
and they asked no questions of any kind,
which was, | thought, strange.
._ When we reached our destination | was
informed by a deputy that Warden Harold
Sheidler had telephoned from the State
reformatory in feffersonville, five miles
away, and had offered to take care of my
prmness: I had a bite to eat and started
or Jeffersonville,
Along the way a curious thing hap-
paged a little white dog ran out from a
ot and barked at the car. I had glanced
aside at Ben at the moment, and | saw a
strange look, half of fear, creep into his
eyes; nothing definite—just a hunch.
“Were you not a little nervous about
that dog, Ben?” I asked. “Now tell me
the truth.”
“I thought you were going to hit him,”
he_stammered. ;
That was the wrong thing to say, for it
Was untrue; the dog had never been faint-
ly in danger, I drove on to Jeffersonville
with a feeling that Ben Brooks had seen
Spot killed.
The prisoners were locked in separate
cells; |_ requested Warden Sheidler not to
talk with them about the murder and |
also told him I most strongly suspected
Ben Brooks of the deed.
“I never stole Amazona Montgomery’s
chickens,” was Ben Brooks’ Parting re-
mark to me. I made no reply. I drove
over to see Jake Harold, the Scipio chick-
en dealer who had bought Amazona’s
rize fowls. He studied some photos |
ad and picked out old Bess Brooks, Ben
and Lyman, as the men who had made the
sale of the chickens which were: later re-
turned to. Montgomery.
Thus I learned that the Brooks clan
had lied when they denied being chicken
thieves; I learned, too, that Montgomery
had visited Harold and he had described
the thieves to him, ‘
“You tell Ben Brooks I said he’s a liar
when he says they didn’t steal Amazona’s
ickens,” I instructed Warden Sheidler
over the telephone. “I want him to think
that over tonight.” :
Somewhere | had read of a reat scien-
tist’s theory that if you never lied to a
guilty man he would finally start talking;
it wasn’t a new theory to me. If you al-
ways speak the truth, the prisoner gets to
Along this Indiana highway, Ama-
zcna Montgomery drove to his death
wondering ag how much you really do
know, final y he starts giving alibis—then
you have him,
I found that Mrs. Taskey had seen a
man resembling Ben Brooks walking by
the house, about an hour before Mont-
goivery arrived. Charley Smith identi-
led the pictures as resembling the men he
had seen run under the trestle. And the
shotgun | grabbed away from Bess Brooks
was a .12 gauge; ammunition in Ben’s
house was the same as the shell found be-
side the body,
It seemed to me | had enough to try for
a confession from Ben Brooks: | knew the
others wouldn’t even listen to my ques-
tions,
I took with me to Jeffersonville the
iece of wire with which Amazona_ had
een trussed and the pieces in the chicken
house, the pail of chicken feed, the knife
which had belonged to Montgomery, the
Brooks’ shotgun and the shell picked up at
the scene of the crime, and a picture of
Spot, the dead dog.
These I arranged on Warden Sheidler’s
desk and asked that Ben Brooks be
brought in; as he approached the door |
made a remark intended for the prisoner’s
ears,
“I'd hate to see a man as old as Bess
Brooks sitting in the hot seat,” I said,
stopping abruptly as Ben entered,
. “Well, Ben,” | began, “I don’t suppose
it 1s necessary to tell you what | want to
talk about?”
HE prisoner was Staring at the ex-
hibits on the desk: | acted as though
I did not even know they were there,
“Take those things away,” Ben Brooks
said slowly. “I’ll tell you what you want
to know,”
I swept the stuff aside and sat down
on the desk directly across from Ben
Brooks,
“J killed Amazona Montgomery,” he
said, without preliminary remarks, “I shot
him in self defense.”
,_ So that was it; Ben Brooks was prepar-
ing an out for himself. That was why he
was talking. Knowing his statement wasn’t
true, I allowed him to gO on, even encour-
aged him. His own lies would trap him
in time, for while Montgomery’s skull was
cracked, he had not been shot.
“Just tell me how it came up, Ben,” |
encouraged. “All about it.”
“I started over to Charley Dunstimer’s
to go squirrel hunting,” began Brooks,
“How did you go?” | interrupted.
Brooks described a route which did not
pass the pool where the footprints had
een found nor under the Little Sandy
Bridge.
“IT met Montgomery in Wickie’s
Woods,” he continued, “and he accused
me of stealing his chickens, | never stole
his chickens, Ote—I ain’t no chicken thief.
I said he was a liar and he patted out his
knife and started for me. | was so mad
I just up with the gun and shot him. He
fell to the ground and I could see he was
bad hurt. Then I shot the dog and went
off and left them.” ...,. _.

in the wood shop adjoining Davis’

He said he had vroken his mattock
again, and asked me if I could mend
it, and showed me how” it was brok-

Ile left, and, went toward his house.
Half or - three-quarters-of ’ an .-hour

was that Bates ‘had &. bucket, and he

Thurs., 10-23-97—
INDIANA EXECUTION ALERT
The State of Indiana has set an execution date for death-row inmate Gary
Burris. Burris is scheduled to be executed on November 20, 1997.
The case of Gary Burris was subject of an Urgent Action by Amnesty
International in 1995. Burris’ lawyers were back then able to persuade a
U.S. Circuit Court to hear his 2nd federal habeas corpus motion.
Apparently, the federal court recently denied relief, and the execution
date should be considered extremely serious.
Preparing for the execution, death row guards already threw 2 convicts
into "the Hole", or administrative segregation, for fear of erupting
violence around the execution, wrote 1 of them, Lorenzo L. Stone-Bey (DOC
# 10006). After the 1994 execution of Ajamu Nassor in Indiana, an officer
was knifed to death in retaliation.
Burris is an accused murderer of a taxi driver. His supporters offered a
strong case in mitigation and argued his personal background should lead
to a commutation of his death sentence. They said Burris was an orphan
and grew up in a brothel, where he was led into a life of crime. They
also claimed Burris might be innocent of murder.
Indiana resumed state killing in 1981, and to date has executed 4
condemned men. The last execution in the state was in 1996.
