"Liquor Dick" Morris and his brother, Daniel Delbert Morris, were shot and killed Sunday (21 Jul 1929) in a brawl at a bootlegging joint on South Madison Street in Duquoin, Perry County, operated by Dan Gulley, and were buried in Anna Cemetery. Their funeral was at First Baptist Church. Dick had been in Duquoin five years, working as a cook and was keeping company with Gulley's daughter, Lelia Gulley. The two men were there with Jake Morris and Sonny Johnston when a fight broke out. Gulley was also shot and his daughter beaten. They were sons of the late Tip Morris, of Anna. They left their mother, four brothers, George Morris, Will Morris, Jake Morris, and Luther Morris; and one sister, Eva Morris, all of East High Street, Anna.
