The Missouri Horror.
Lynching of an tnparalleled Villain,
We have already given some paiticu-
lars in relation to a matt being arrested
near Clearuiont. Mo , who was driving a
wagon containing the bodies of five mur
dered persons, of whom he w is believed
to have been the mnrdeier The follow
ing account Irom the St. Louis Ueubli
can gives the history of the ase iu de
tail, with tho tragic finale to the awful
affair :
On looking into the wagon a fearful
sight met the gaze-.of those w hose sus
picions of the man had led them to iu
vestigate the matter- Within that wagon
lay five- bumau beings covered wilh
blankets. They were piled promidcmisly
together, aud were partly decomposed,
presenting one the most feaiful sights
that ever the eye of mortal beheld.
Tho victims were two men. one woman
and two small children, all with lln ir
tbroats cut from ear to ear. They wrre
sleeping in the wagon at the time of tho
murder, for they were found in their
night clothes. The body of one of the
men was nearly cut in two, and l ore
evidence of having made a hard struggle
for lifi
Under fear of immediate death the
following statement was cl cited from the
man : lie said his name was Osburn ;
that bis wifo aud w ife's mother lived
near Mount Ayer, in liinggold county,
Iowa. lie eaid his mot' er in law's name
was D liah Ayers, and that bo had a
boy 5 years old lie said the name of
the murdered family is Ormes ; that they
went to Kansas from Minnesota last
spring ; that the name of the other mur
dered man was Dauiel Dickerson ; that
he bad accompanied the murdered family
from Minnesota to Kansas, and was a
cousin to Mrs. Ormes. lie eaid that
Joseph Williams muadereij the party on
last Thursday night near Uolton, Kansas
and hired him. for a consideration of
S700, to conceal the bodies ; that lie
started to . do so, intending to secrete
them in a brush patch; that there was
a keg of whisky in the wagon from
which he Lad freely imbibed, and has
been drunk ever since -, that be dtsired
THE lAWJ.j
SEPT&MMR 11, 1S72.
t put tlienj in tlio Missouri river, but
that he got tn White Cloud in the Jay
time and could not do so. He slates
that lie cotilil not find any suitable place
to hide the bodies ; that it appeared to
him that Providence was against him,
and smote his conscience so that lie was
not conscious of what he was doing. He
stated that Williams followed the Ormcs
family from Minnesota for the purpose
of murdcriot; them ; that the cause of his
hate was an old h.ve nffiir betweeu Lira
self and Mrs Oimc-s ; that Williams had
ewotn tielay Ormes, his wife, and their
poRUiify ; that when the partits were
tuiirdcred they had ihe wagon in which
their bodies were found, tws yoke of ox
rn and soma loose CMtile- lie sui-1 he
had traded the cattle j-tt before ho ar
rived at GliMnno:vf, an 1 that lis had also
hid the S700 in a sack.
After having made t!:o abori; confes
sion he was given over intu tho hands of
some of the leading citiz-ns of the Nod
j way valley to take charge of him. They
! then imtoedntely etartod a courier for
Vary ville to report the matter to Sheriff
Wray. They also scrrt back on the
road he had just traversed and found

in substance, the following confession :
IU gave his nimo as Tn. zev. and
said it was not O-b ir... as etated in Lis
first confession. That bis home was at
Mount Ayer, Iowa, where he had a wife
au l one child. The parties he hid mur
dered xvoie live iu number. A man wilh
his wife and two , children and another
man who was unmarried. He said they
were travelling iu a lmn er wagon, and
that i hey were reluming from Kansas to
their home in Minnesota. He met them
first last Thurday, the lfnli. Having no
money and traveling iu the same direc
. t;n ,)ey kiuilly asked him to join them,
which he did. The wugon being large,
they all, six iu number, slep: iu it. The
inn tied man. his wile and two children
slept on a platl'oim raised ou the front of
the wagon, while the remaining two slept
iu the boitoiu of the Led below.
Last Sunday night they camped within
ball's mile of a house near Ba-r Oik
Grove. At this place tho wretch con
ceived tho plan of murdering them and
making way with their horses and wag
on, their catile (three; or fonrin nu nbe.),
and whatever money they' ui'ght have in
their possession. After having mnrdeied
them he inteiified to secrete tht m in the
brush or Clear creek, near by.
That Sunday night, little dreaming of
the black hearted wretch they had taken
under their shelter, and the awlul fate
that awaited them, they liy down in tlie
wagou for the night, and all save the
murderer were sound asleep
Satisfying himself that all were asleep
he took a loaled pistol which lay iu the
wagon, and placing it at the hed of the
man who was sleeping by his side, fired,
lie instantly killed him.
The mauied man being aroused by
the report ot the pislol rose np, and
thinking Tanzey had fiied at a str.inue
dog uhich had been annoying them dur
ing ihe flight by balking, said "(md !
Good !" The assays n 1 immediately
turned and shot him, and then jumpod
from the wagon to the ground.
The wounded man attempted to follow
him. when Tanzey seized au axe and
despatched him at once. The agonized
wife of the murdered man wis now run
ning amund the wagon u'tering fearful
criesrfand, fea ing that she would alarm
the people at the firm house near by, he
also killed her with an axe or club just
which he does not remember
The two in'ant babes, aged three and
and fifteen months, now alone remained
: living, and it seem be did not dispose of
tbem nntil some time after the rest had
bean killed. When asked how he could

their piteous eric, and being alarmed
lest the rjoiso chouhl lead to his detection
he cut their throats from ear to ear, and
thus completed his work of destruction.
Two hundred stalwart qui soon as
sembled and determined to mete out to
the villain stein and speedy justice. The
prisoner having finished bis confession
was bnaud hand and font and taken to
a black walnut tree, tho place selected
for his execution. Airrived at ihe fatal
spot " Tanzey waj cool and collected,
erfoctly unmoved, proving himself to be
a man of iron ur-rve and onerfiha most
hardened villhus the woild Lad ever

A rope was then placed around hhj,

of the rope, drawing iim clear from the
ground, and, just as dark was coining on
last Thursday evening, tho soul of Tan

Ths First Forged Bank Note. .
Sixty-four years aflcr the establish
ment of the bank of England, ihe first
forged note was presented for payment,
and toKichard William Vaughn, a Staf
ford linen draper, belongs the melancholy
celelnity, of having led the. vau in thin
new phase of crime, in the year 1758.
The records of his life do not show want,
beggery or starvation urging him, but a
simple desire to seem greater than he
wa-i liy one of the artists employed
(and there were several engaged on dif
ferent parts of the notes) the discovery
was made. The criminal had filled up
to the number ni twenty and deposited
them in the hand of a young lady to
wh"iu he was attached, as a prooOjf his
weal'h. There is uo calculating how
much longer bank notes ght have
been free from imitation Lad this man

notes became common. His execution

It seems that the principal of the coilege
overheard a plan aciung a number of few
young ldy students for drawing a young
gentleman up tn one of the third-story
rsoms " in a basket at night," as no gen
t'emeu suitors were permitted to visit
their college lady oti, and tee them
alone, tinder strict rules of the institrf-ii-n.
The principal acted accordingly,
and at tho appointed time was on tho

angel expectant, on looking down from
tho window, discovered to her terror and
dismay that instead of her lover she had
another man in the basket, and nearly
frightened out of her wits, made the fact
known to Ler fair helpers iti mischief,
wi h the pertinent inquiry of " What
shall we do ? what i-Lall we do ? Oh !
g-ils, girls, what shall we do X" Where
upon one of their number, noted for her
coolness and presence of mind in trying
emergencies, said :
"Here ! you hold on to this cord. Now
do just as I tell you, and I'll take care of
the man, no matter who Lc is er where
he comes from."
Then, taking out her pocket knife and
opening it, she leaned out of the window
and, in a low voice, faid : "Who are you,
there, in that basket ?"
No response.
"I say, who are you, thero, in that
basket ? Do you hear ? I have a knifa
in my Land, and unless you answer this
in less than ten seconds I will cut tbii

'Why, it's your piir.cipal ; don't you
know ma ? ' Don't, for mercy's sake, cut
the rope. Keep your knife further away
from it I"
'Well, you are in a pretty fix. Profes
sor, a pretty fix, indeed, and hanging be

male college, who thus endeavors, at

'Oh ! I beg of you not to harm me
nor expose ms ; bat let me down again
carefully, and don't let the rope clip !"

"You mui't a-'lemnly promise that none,
