MURDERED IN BED
Horrible Tragedy At Home of
North Ct~olina Merchant
SHOT DEAD WITH HIS OWN GUN
Two White Men Enter Home of Mr.
John M. Mirris in search of Money
.. and W hen He Awakes Shoots Him
With His Own Gen.
Monroe, N. C., Special.— Two un
known white men, one clad in the
garb of a woman, entered the home
of Mr. John M. Morris, a well-known
farmer-merchant of the county liv
ing two miles east of Weddington
Academy, at 3. o'clock Saturday
morning to burgularize it; Mr. Mor
ris was awakened by the intruders
ami dead in his bed by them,
his own gun being used, and the bur
glars made good their escape after
securing a small amount of money
from the home and store of the mur
dered man.
The explosion of the gun awakened
Mrs. Morris, who was sleeping with a
child in another bed, and she found
the bed on which her husband lay on
fire. This she threw on the floor and
extinguished andi saved the house
from being burned. By the light of
the flames she recognized the two
assassins as white men, one of them
wearing a dress, supposedly as a di»-
gui'S.
Coroner Sykes empaneled a jury
and held an inquest, examining ab«;ut
fifty witnesses. The verdict of the
jury was that Mr. Morris came to his
death r.t the hands of unknown per
sons. Two white men of the neigh
borhood, however, are suspected of
the bloody crime and the officers are
now searching for them. These sus
pects told parties that they were go
ing away, saying to ?ome that they
were leaving for a picnic in Stanley
county and to others that they were
coming to Monroe, and it may l>f
that these are the burglar-assassins.
The home of Mr. Morris is located
in the same building in which he eon
ducted a store, and robbery was what
led to the brutal murder. When the
burglars entered the sleeping room
they found Mr. Morris' gun iq a
rack on the wall and when he awoka
shot him with it before he could
move. The assassin was standing
within a few feet of the bed and the
i'*seharge of the gun set the bed
clothes afire. The load entered! the
dead man's side just below the ribs,
tearing a great hole through the
body. Death was almost instantan
eous. The gun used with such deadly
effect was carried off by the burglars
when they fled.
Mrs. Morris, bereft of her husband
in a moment and without warning,
end with no protection left her, not
even Q pistol, and with two assassins
just leaving the house, was terrified
beyond bounds, but her self-possess
ion did not leave her, and with the
child clinging to her side in fright,
and not understanding the catastro
phe, she went outside and gave the
alarm. \
It was a weird sight which met the
gaze of the first hurrying mert who
came to the rescue. The dead man
lay half way across the bed where he
had been peacefully sleeping only a
few minutes before. The burned berl
clothing told another part of the
story, and an open door in the house
where the two men, who were seen by
Mrs. Morris escaping „ tub! the re
mainder of the story.
Men with lanterns, and armed for
an emergency, sought about the house
and store for traces of the burglars
and assassin, a«4 -scoured the Tien''by
sections but without avail. The
burelars had successfully eluded de
fect ion aiirt Were doubtless ma king
tlir hasty retreat from the scene of
the crime when the seachers arrived
on the seene.
About $25, which Mr. Morris was
known to have in his possession at
the time, was misning when, in the
early gray of the day, friends of
the stricken woman, who had come j
to her aid, instituted a more system
atic search than could be made in the
darkness of the night. Out in the
back yard of the dwelling which was
a store, with room* bailt to the side
for the family, was found the pints
of the dead man with the pockets
rifled. Mr. Morris baf» abonf .sl2 on
his person when he closed bis store.

Shot by Her Sistcr-inLaw.
Jefferson, Special. News has
reached here from Crumpler, ten
milos northeast of Jefferson, that
Mrs. Ada Francis, wife of Mr. Eli
Francis, once a nominee for register
of deeds of Ashe county, has shot and
very seriously wounded her sister-in
law, Mrs. Ida Francis. The report is
that the women had been quarrel
ing off and on for some time and that
on the evening before the shooting
they had a quarrel. It is not known
definitely what the difficulty was
about, but it is thought that the
wounded woman was envious about
the way in which her sister-in-law
dressed and held herself socially in
the neighborhood. It has also been
whispered that there is a man in the
case. No one was present when the
shooting took place. There seems to
be no friction between their husbands.
Mrs. Francis was shot just below the
heart and through the thigh, am'i it is
thought that she will likely die. Roth
women are young and of good fam
ilies.
Another Account.
Warrensville, Special.—News has
just reached here of the shooting and
perhaps fatal wounding of the wife
of Roby Francis by her sister-in-law,
Ada Francis. Hoth parties live at
Crumpler, this county, where the
brothers, Eli and Hoby Francis, own
a farm jointly, living in the same
house. It seams that Roby's wife had
tor some time been jealous of her
husband's attention to her sister-in
law and the trouble came up over
that. The woman evidently meant to
kill, firing live shots at her victim,
all taking effect. All the parties be
long to good families and the affair
is most unfortunate.
