For nearly two weeks after the killing, hundreds of police, posse members, and private bounty hunters pursued Miller in what was the largest manhunt that had ever taken place in western North Carolina up to that time.〔Sam Ervin Jr., “Richard Venable Michaux,” in ''The Heritage of Burke County'', eds. Jean Conyers Ervin and Marjorie Miller Triebert (Morganton, NC: Burke County Historical Society, 1981), p.312.〕 After a posse member shot and killed Miller, his dead body was brought back to Morganton and displayed on the courthouse square, attracting several thousand spectators.〔Edward William Phifer, Jr., ''Burke: The History of a North Carolina County, 1777-1920'' (Morganton, NC: Burke County Historical Society, 1977), p. 348.〕 == Background == A native of Greenwood County, South Carolina, Broadus Miller had served three years in the South Carolina state penitentiary for the 1921 murder of an African American woman, who had been clubbed to death with a baseball bat.
