He was standing by the door when Morgan noticed his change in manner, asked him what the matter was and started toward him. The little murderer then turn- ed upon his keeper with the ferocity knocked lim down, stamped upon his bead, inflicting morning of a tiger, serious injuries, and finally attempt ed to smother him with a blanket. Morgan yelled for mercy and Ben- son finally desisted. Trusty Band on the foor below heard Morgan’s half smothered yell. He first thought it was the lowing of Sheriff Flora’s cow in the yard.
