    2. Randi Richardson
    3. Montpelier (VT) Argus and Patriot, September 3, 1879, p. 1. Ebenezer Morgan, a miserly merchant of Jeffersonville, Indiana, was accustomed to hide his gold in all sorts of nooks and crannies. Morgan died three years ago, and his son-in-law recently repaired some of his old buildings in which Lee M. Winskey, one of the workmen, found 100 $20 gold pieces. Winskey told no one of his find, but his sudden disappearance aroused suspicion, and he was arrested at his former home at Bridgeport, Indiana, where he had stocked a small trading-boat intending to go down the Ohio and Mississippi River to the far south.
