DHNVKK , Col. , Jnnimry 19. Adispntoh
from Ouroy says that Michael Cuddigan
and wife , who w > cruelly murdered little
May lloao Mathews , thoiradoptod daugh
ter , wore last night taken fromfa room in
Dolrhonico's Hotel , in which they were
temporarily confined , and lynched. The
work was done by an armed body of vig
ilantes , whoso plan of operations had
boon ao well laid out that the aliorilT and
his men , who were guarding the prison
ers , were powerless to prevent the con
summation of the crime. Third street
wan well filled with pedestrians at the
time the vigilantes forced their way into
the hotel , but the lynchors had evaded
notice by stealthily creeping up the
alloy , which runs parallel with the main
street , until the hotel was reached. Then
they boldly entered the hotel.
Their auddon appearance in the street
in front of Dolmonico'B did not cre
ate any oxcitomhnt , and it was not
until after they had entered the building
that , by the discharge of a pistol , the
pedestrians in the street knew that any
thing unusual was going on. The shot
was tired by Shorifl Howies , who , upon
the appearance of the mob , and its de
mand that Cuddigan and his wife bo
given up , ordered the vigilantes to leave
the room. They refused to go , but
quietly , but firmly , gave the sheriff to
understand that they wore determined to
take the prisoners from him , and advised
him not to interfere with them.
THK HIIEUIPPOVKUrOWEUKII.
Sheriff Howies defied them , and , with
revolver in hand , bndo them adrnnco at
their peril. The vigilantes then made a
bold rush. They closed in upon him on
all sides. The sheriff fought desperately
and fired ono shot , but with no apparent
effect. Before ho had an opportunity to
shoot again the vigilantes , who had crept
in behind him , grasped him tightly ,
pinioned his arms and took his revolver
away from him. Ho was then thrown
upon the floor and hold there by
four powerful men while the remain
ing vigilantes secured the prisoners and
prepared to take them from the room.
Cuddigan and his wife know well-enough
what the tramp of foot in the hallway of
the hotel meant. Before the vigilantes
had fully filled the room they boqan to
cry with fear and to beg piteously for
their lives. The mob paid no attention to
thom'until it had disposed of the sheriff.
Then it bade them stop their whining as
it would avail them nothing. After
Rowloa had been secured , ono of
the vigilantes wont to the door of
the hotel to roconnoitor. Quito a
number of persons had collected in Third
street , but they did not seem to
show any disposition to interfere. For
that matter most of them were too dazed
by the overwhelming boldness of the
lynchors to realize the full horror of the
scone which was about to bo enacted.
Deputy Sheriffs Vandoyer and Woodcock
who were with Sheriff Howies , would
have rendered assistance , though it would
have done no good , had they not
fcoon placed under the muzzle of a brace
of "Winchester rillca , and concluded
doubtless that it would bo folly for thorn
to remain where they wore. They getaway
away from the acono as rapidly as they
could. No ono blames thorn for it.
They could hava accomplished nothingby
remaining. The mob was determined ,
and had they remained they would prob
ably have boon killed. Howies did not
give in until ho was completely exhaust
ed. It is believed that the vigilantes
would have killed any other man who.
made so desperate n fight to thwart
them. Their respect for Howies , coupled
with their desire to shod no more blood
than was necessary , was all that saved
him.
IK THE HANDS pi' THK .MOD.
It is surprising that there was not a
terrible battle at the hotel at the time of
the attack by the vigilantes. Two Broth
ers and a brother-in-law of Mrs. Cuddi
gan were in the hotel , and armed with
self-acting Smith & Wesson's. The fact
that they were armed would indicate
that they feared an attempt would bo
made to tear Cuddigan and his wife
from the oilicors and hang them. It is ,
therefore , somewhat romarkablu that
they should have disappoarKd on the en
trance of the vigilantes. Carrel , brother
of Mrs , Ouddigan. was in the room with
his sister and brother-in-law. The vigi
lantes did not Boom anxious to secure
him , though they kept n sharp eye on
him to prevent his escape. Ouddigan
and his wife were the victims whom the
lynchors sought. Finding that there wae
but little to bo feared from the few people
ple in the street without , the vigilantes
proceeded to carry out their programme.
Mrs. Cuddigan was the first to bo taken
out. She was led into the street acarcolj
able to walk because of her awful fright ,
crying hysterically for help for tin
amts to defend her. But nor captort
were unmoved , "Spare mo ; I am inno-
cunt , God knows I am. " she Bcruamed ,
but the maiked men who hold her fas <
answered not a word. Ono would have
thought they were deaf , socomplotelj
unmoved did they appear to bo uy hoi
wild and pitiful cries for mercy.
VAIN AITEAU TO TUB VH11LANTES.
A moment later Ouddigan and Carroll
wore brought out. They were but litth
more composed than the woman. The }
cursed and prayed and bogged all in 0111
breath , but all in vain , They won
grulllv told to cease their noise , ant
woroliurned on. From the movemen
of the vigilantes after leaving the ho to
it is clear that they had mapped out thi
minutest details of their work. They a
once started toward the northern pare o
the city. But a few frightened pedcs
trians who were standing holpleesl ;
around the hotel followed. On the ;
went , moving swiftly through the dark *
nose , dragging their victims after them
The night wan made hideous by the fear
ful shrieks of the woman and cries fo :
JKmercy , which were made every now ant
JK then by the men. They begged for time
for an hour , for a half hour , to prove thai
innocence , but the vigilantes raovet
on in their inexorable purpose. Carroll
the brother-in-lawWM led down Soventl
troot. Of his fate you shall" know here-
, ft < r. Cuddigan and his wife were taken
o the northern boundary of the city.
Vhon Undo Tommy Andrews' cabin was
cached the vigilantes , without ordnr or
ipokon word , came to a halt. In fact ,
hero were no orders given. All the men
in the great body of maikcd men seemed
) act by preconcerted arrangement ,
'ho ' trembling Cuddigan and his wife
oalizcd that their end had come. The
otnan's wails and cries for mercy
cro louder and more pitiful than over ,
'lie ' scene was a horrible ono. Thodark-
CSB was lit up hero and there by the
relly-liko glare of a lantern , and the ris-
ng moon cast a weird light over the
, wful scono.
( 'UIDIOAN HANDED PllOM A JIIIH1B POLE.
There was no time lost. Ropes , which
ad before boon carofuUy concealed , were
uddonly brought to view. The very
ight of them increased the terror of the
ictims , and their supplications for
mercy were almost unearthly. 'Say
our prayers , " said ono of the
igilantcs , as in company with two of his
Dim-ados ho 'approached the trembling
ttddigan.
"Snaro mp , spare mo ! God save mol"
oiled Cuddigan , falling on his knees.
"Did you spare little Mary Matthews ? "
jilted ono of the vigilantes.
"I'm innocent. Save mo. Don't hang
o , " wailed the miserable man.
"Mako your peace with God. Your
mo has come. "
hat was the only answer the vigilantes
undo , and poor Cuddigan began praying ,
t was a short shrift these relentless avcn-
; ors gave him. The rope was made fast
round his nock , and with the air echoing
, nd re-echoing with the cries of the vie-
1m , they hangodhim from the ridge polo
f Undo Tommy's cabin. Ho struggled
iolcntly. His , \wful contortions were
iddon by the darkness , and though had
boo nbroid daylight the vigilante * would
iot have boon ullbctod by his sufferings.
lilt 1OI ! > V hWUNO FllOM THE I.IMI1 01' A
TUEK.
They were then busy placing the noose
round the neck of Mrs. Cuddigan.
Vords cannot describe the scone. Imag-
no a woman in the hands of a mob of
non who are actuated only by a desire to
, vcngo the wrongs of a little child whom
hey honestly believed had mot its death
her hands. They know no morcy.
'ity was not in them. Her face was
hastly in the breaking light of the morn ,
nd under the yellow glare of the Ian-
orn's flame she begged , she prayed , she
revelled at their foot and seemed to have
oat all reason. Fear possessed her soul
the uttermost , but her awful agony
.id not affect her executioners ,
'hoy ' stand by unmoved , those who were
, ot engaged in preparing the rope turn-
ig their hpad.s from her white face and
ild despair. The noose is now around
or nock. She is to weak to walk. They
arrv her to a tall tree which looms up
omberly against the heavens. It takes
ut a moment for strong hands to adjust
: io rope , and then the body of the poor
oman swings convulsively in the air.
'heir ' work done , the vigilantes disap-
oared. No ono know who organized or
id the dreadful band of avengers , nor
ho compoaod it.
AKKOI.L IN THE HANDS OK MASKED MEN.
But to Carroll. When Cuddigan and
is wife were led off toward Uncle
'ommy's ' cabin Carroll was taken down
ovonth avenue to Second street , and at
point ppposito the Pacific house was
ilacod in a buggy and driven off by
Masked men. It is impossible to learn
vhother or not ho mot a fate similar to
hat of liis sister and her husband. If
ilomoncy has been shown him , it is bo-
lauso there is some doubt as to the part
10 played in the murder of little Mary
"lathows. It is claimed by him and his
'riends that ho was absent at the time ,
nd had been for some days previous to
.hogirl'sdeath. From the manner in which
, ho vigilantes took Carroll off in a dif-
oront direction from that in which Cud
digan and his wife were taken , it is be
lieved by some that they had prepared o
horrible punishment for him. It will
not bo long before the truth is known.
The town and surrounding country is in
ferment of excitement.
OAUUOLL'H TATE.
Carroll , the brother of the hanged wo
man , and who was accused of being a
party to the murder , was taken in a bug
gy by two men vrho belonged to the vigilantes
lantos and driven several miles out from
Ourav. They then stopped , and were
soon joined by several more masked men.
Preparations were made to hang Carroll
. Ho bogged piteously and explained to the
men that ho was not with the
taadigans on the night of the
murder , and therefore ho conic
iot bo guilty of the murder. He
said ho could only bo held as an acccs
sory to the crime , but he did that simply
to protect his sister from her crime. Ho
asked who of the men present wouldn't
do all in his power to save a sister ) The
rope was thrown over the limb of a tree
and Carroll was drawn up. Before life
was extinct ho was lot down again. A
consultation was then hold , and then the
mon decided that Carroll did not deserve
servo to bo hanged. They would give
him time to leave the country , trill
the understanding that should ho eve
return ho would moot his fate at the end
of a rope Young Carroll was only too
thankful to accept the proffer. Ho started
od alone on the train. The lynch or
watched him until out of sight and then
returned to town. It is hardly probabl
ho will ever show up in those digging
again.
JL more orderly baud of vigilante
never put a man to death. Their coo
deliberation is shown in Carroll's case
There was some doubt as to his guilt.nm
the mob , after hanging the man am
wife , took Carroll oil' to a more couven
iout place , where they would go throug
some sort of a trial , and thus dotormin
liis guilt or innocence.
THE MOB'S VICTIMS.
The trustees of the cemetery hero to
day refused to permit the bodies of Cud
digan and wife to bo buried there
Father Sorvtnt , of whoso church Cuddi
gan and his wife were members , refuse <
to ofllciato at the funeral. The remain
were kept in a stable all day and wur
visited by hundreds of people. The man
and wife lay side by side , their feature
terribly distorted , showing that they hac
both died a horrible death from strangu
lation. Ouddigan was over six foot high
compactly built , had light hair , bin
eyes and sandy beard. His countenance
nance was not frank and open , but thor
was nothing repulsive about it. Mrs
Ouddigan waa almost as largo as her hus
band. She had thick , sensual lips , n
brazen look and a sharp tongue , bii
would have boon called beautiful by ac
mirors of Amazonian beauty. She wai
about 38 years of ago , her husband 4
years old. The two brothers of Oudd
gan rofusodjto receive the bodies , and at
a last resort Coroner Hazzard teethe
the remains of Ouddigan an
wife this evening to their lat
ranch , south of the city , and there gav
them a decent burial. Cuddigan hat
Boveral hundred dollars on his porso
when lynched , and this was used in giv
ing them burial. The rancho baa bee
akon in charge by the sheriff , who will
oil nil available property and put the
nonoy in trust for the infant child of
/uddigan and wife , who was loft homo-
ess by the lynchora. The child has boon
akon in charge by the Authorities.
nhcro is no clue to the identity of any
f the lynchors.
1'llES.S COMMENTS.
) onvcr Trlbuno.
The facts in the Ouray lynching are
iniplo enough. There was a pretty little
irl who had a vagabond for a father , and
vho was pub in a convent school to bo
> rought up. Two people n man and a
woman took the poor helpless waif from
ho school under a promise to take care
) f it , and tortured it to death by the
most appalling cruelty.
In duo course of time the murderers
were arrested and lodged in jail. In duo
course of time , had there boon no lynch-
ng , they would have boon tried and
irobably escaped with a light sentence.
\ccording to Colorado precedent , neither
f them would have boon hung certain-
y not the woman , The Ouray people
lad before them the prospect of a , long-
hy and costly trial , which would hardly
result in the punishment deserved , and
hey prevented the expense and disposed
if the case in their own effective way.
The objection to the lynching of the
woman is purely sentimental. A woman
30 dead to all the feelings of her sex as
o torture a poor , little , unfriended child
nto otomity was worse than the man.
Something of softness might _ have boon
xpoctcd from her. In serving her as
icr accomplice was served the Ouray
neb displayed a strict sense of justice.
5oth the murderers deserved the death
hey met.
