Masonic Light on the Abduction And Murder of WM. Morgan
from wiki:
William Morgan
(1774 – c. 1826) was known for his
Anti-Masonic writings;
he was a resident of Batavia, New York,
whose disappearance and presumed murder in 1826 ignited a powerful movement against the Freemasons
, a fraternal society that had become influential in the United States.
After Morgan announced his intention to publish a book exposing Freemasonry's
secrets, he was arrested on trumped-up charges.
He disappeared soon after, and was believed to have been kidnapped and killed by Masons from western New York.
Since Masons place their hands on a Bible
and promise not to reveal the passwords and grips of the degrees, several members of the Batavia lodge published an advertisement denouncing Morgan for breaking his word by authoring the book. An attempt was also made to set fire to Miller's newspaper office and print shop.
On September 11, 1826, Morgan was arrested for supposed nonpayment of a loan and allegedly stealing a shirt and a tie;
according to the laws of the time he could be held in debtors' prison
until restitution was made, which would have made it more difficult to publish his book.
Morgan was jailed in
Canandaigua,
and when Miller learned of this, he went to the jail to pay the debt and secure Morgan's release. Morgan was released, but then re-arrested and charged with supposedly failing to pay a two dollar tavern bill.
While the jailer was away, a group of men convinced his wife to release Morgan;
they walked to a waiting carriage, which arrived two days later at Fort Niagara
.
Shortly afterwards, Morgan disappeared.
The allegations surrounding Morgan's disappearance and presumed death sparked a public outcry and inspired Thurlow Weed and others to harness the discontent by founding the new Anti-Masonic Party in opposition to President Andrew Jackson's Democrats.  It ran a presidential candidate in 1832 but was nearly defunct by 1835.
