Last fall while mrs. Fred Root of Elyria was visiting at Antwerp she fell from an elevator and suffered a severe injury to a limb. It has been found necessary to Send her to the Hospital at Cleveland for treatment. She will be there for six weeks. A Wrell known Defiance Man who has recently visited in Williams county says the people Over there Are breathing free again since twelve fire bugs have been transferred to the Ohio Penitentiary and fourteen More indictments have been returned by the latest grand jury. The latest indictments cover people who Are scattered All through the West and have not been residents of the county for years. One Man a resident of California became alarmed when the investigation was first started and at once left for China. Like Many others indicted he is now a person of standing in the West but the authorities Are going after him just the same. A full history of the terrible gang that infested Williams county and its downfall would be More interesting than a Romance. The Era of arson and robbery dates As far Back As 1881. The Field of operation was largely in Brady and Madison townships and portions of Fulton county Homer Morrison who was recently sent to the Penitentiary for a Long term was the King Bee and organizer of the gang. If a Man had a barn or House that he wished burned that he might get the insurance he paid Morrison $100. Morrison would then pay some member of the gang $25 and the Job would be done. Morrison was the go Between and the Man that made the Money. Morrison finally became so powerful and bold that a simple protest from any one regarding his methods meant the burning of the House or barn of the one protesting. The people were terrorized in this manner for years and finally some leading citizens in West Unity began the work of running Down the gang. They gathered evidence for years before they called in the state fire marshal and he completed the work. Detectives were sent into the county As Corn huskers umbrella menders and in that manner the Chain of facts necessary to a cleaning out of the gang was forged. To show the methods of the Man Morrison in the line of robbery we give one instance Sam Ayers a prominent Stock buyer was to be held up. Two men in Ney were first picked out to do the Job but the night was too Light later a Man from a Distant from Over the Border was a state was called in and when he undertook the Job was shot twice by Ayers although he effected his escape finally. The matter of arson was reduced to a science. If a House or barn was to be burned the Man chosen to do the work would Light a Candle and leave it where sooner or latter it would Start the fire. After the Candle had been lighted the Man doing the Job would get in Bis buggy and drive away five or six Miles before the building would Burn. He would then be Able to prove an Alibi in event of his arrest. The careful work of the detectives made Plain All the schemes of the Morrison gang. The temptation to men who had property and were hard pressed for Money was very Strong to Avail themselves of the services of Morrison and thousands of dollars of insurance Money was secured in that manner. Among the men sent to the pen was we. Davison a Man aged 75 years. He had always stood High in the Community and was a hard Man to trap. He had employed Bert Anderson to Burn a building. Anderson fired the place but it did not Burn Down and Davison Only secured $150 insurance Money. He refused to pay Anderson the Money and then the investigation was started and Anderson being cornered reached unknown to Davison. The investigation alarmed Davison and he found a Story for Anderson to Tell to the grand jury. Andersons Story was not enough to fasten Davison and so a big Box was placed on a Spring Wagon and in it was a detective who was a Short hand writer. The Rig was then driven to Davison a Home and while he and Anderson discussed the House burning business the detective took Down every word that Davison said. When later Davison was confronted with that statement he weakened plead guilty and was sent to the pen for two years. The majority of the people in Brady and Madison townships Are above the average in intelligence and they feel keenly the disgrace that has come upon them though overjoyed because the Morrison gang has been wiped out. Some of the Best families in Williams county have been represented in the carnival of House burning and have their fall share of sorrow now.
