Nor did their outrages stop at this. A company of men led by
William Allensworth, H. M. Woodyard, Wm. Martin, J. H. Owsley,
John Bain, Light T. Lait and Halsey White, crossed over the
Mississippi to Illinois at a point a few miles above Quincy, and
kidnapped Alanson Brown, James Allred, Benjamin Boyce and Noah
Rogers, and without any writ or warrant of any character
whatever, they dragged them over into Missouri to a neighborhood
called Tully, in Lewis county. These unfortunate men were
imprisoned for a day or two in an old log cabin, during which
time their lives were repeatedly threatened. At one time Brown
was taken out, a rope placed around his neck, and he was hung up
to a tree until he was nearly strangled to death. Boyce at the
same time was tied to a tree, stripped of his clothing and
inhumanly beaten. Rogers was also beaten, and Allred was stripped
of every particle of clothing and tied up to a tree for the
greater part of the night, and threatened frequently by a man
named Monday, exclaiming: "G--d d--n you, I'll cut you to
the hollow."
