[Two Thousand Miles On An Automobile by Arthur Jerome Eddy]@TWC D-Link bookTwo Thousand Miles On An Automobile CHAPTER EIGHT THE MORGAN MYSTERY 13/21
Arriving there Miller was conducted to the third story of the stone building beside the creek, and was there confined, guarded by five men. About dusk the constable and the crowd took Miller to Le Roy, where he was taken before the justice who had issued the warrant, when all his prosecutors, together with constable and warrant, disappeared.
As no one appeared against the prisoner, the justice told him he was at liberty to go. From the docket of the justice it appeared that the warrant had been issued at the request of Daniel Johns, Miller's partner. The leaders were indicted for riot, assault, and false imprisonment, tried, three found guilty and imprisoned.
At the trial there was evidence to show that on the morning of the 12th a meeting was held in the third story of the stone building at Stafford, a leader selected, and plans arranged. On the evening of Tuesday 12th a neighbor of Morgan's called at the Canandaigua jail and asked to see Morgan.
The jailer was absent.
His wife permitted the man to speak to Morgan, and the man said that he had come to pay the debt for which Morgan was committed and to take him home.
