The Capture and Escape of Morris, the Noted Murderer.

In 1891, there lived in the little town of Vernon one Jim Morris and the two Moss brothers, who left together during that year for Greer County, where the three men were to take up land.

The two Moss brothers had between them about five or six hundred dollars, which fact was known to Morris when the three left Vernon together.

After reaching Salt Fork, which is in Greer County, they pitched camp to rest up a bit.

While there, Morris and one of the Moss boys walked out a mile or so from the wagon to kill some game.

After being gone a little while, Morris suddenly turned his gun on Moss and fired, killing him instantly.
