VERDICT
IS MURDER
Robbery Undoubtedly
the Object of
Sander's Slayer
Friends With Whom He Had
Been Playing Cards Heard
. the Shots and Saw
their Flash
L. D. Sanders, of Uuttovllle. hnn
grower, whose dead body was found on
tho aldowalk In that town ycstsrdny
morning, was evidently murdorod, but
thoro is no trace of his slnyor, and
vory llttlo chance Uiat he will ovor bo
npprohonded.
Tho Inquoet hold ovor the romulns
resulted In a vordlct that tho docoasotl
camo to hi d9ath by a gunshot wound
nt tho hands of an unknown party.
Several men with whom Sanders
played cards on Wodnesday evening,
nt Strain's saloon, among them Strain
hlmsolf, testified Uiat Sanders) had
several times during the ' evening
pokon of n mystorlous 'stranger In
town, a man evidently disguised, but
no one olse was found who had seen
tho stranger. According to the toa
tlmony Sanders left tho saloon about
midnight, on his way homo, tho othors
following soon aftor, when thoy heard
a shot, boyond a building, and on turn
ing Uio Btrcot cornor heard n second
shot, and saw" tho flash of a gun, nnd
heard n noise aa of a body falling.
Thinking tho shots woro fired by some
boys, no Invostlgntion was made At
tho point whoro tho gun flash wn8
seen, tho bqdy was found yesterday
morning, lying on tho sldowalk, with
a rusty rovolver within two feet of the
right hand, another old revolver In
tho vlght coat pocket, and a ghastly
hole in tho loft sido of tho head, Just
abovo tho ear. Tho wound nnd Uio
skin surrounding It wero not powder-
markod. .
Tho physician oxomlning tho ro
mains testified thnt tho wound could
not havo beon soIMnfllctod, as lt
woum nnvo uoen imposslblo for a
rlght-hnndod man to havo flrod the
shot at hlmsolf, and Inflict tho wound
found, without showing powder marks
on tho head.
Tho pistol found near the body had
two empty chnmbors, but showed no
evidence of having been recently
flrod.
Mr. Sanders had over S900 on Wod
nesday, Of this sum he Is known to
havo paid out but $155, and the rest
ho was known to hava loose In his
trousers' pocket. Whan found he had
a purse with 60 cants.
The theory Is that Sanders was hold
up. Bhot and robbed of tho money In
his trousers' pocket, and the old pis
tols placed, ono In IiIb coat pocket and
tho other near his hand One of them
was an old pattern bull-dog, 44 call
bra and the other a 38-calbre Ivor
Johnson. They appeared to bo rvllcs
of a socondhand dealers stock.
Thnt murder has been committal
there Is no doubt. Uut th queeUcm
Is who Is tha murderer, and where did
ho go? The motive was evidently rob
bery, as Mr. Sander was known to
have money, lie had no enemlea,
and was a very populat man.
Sheriff Colbath went IttiUevllk
this morning to make du InveaUfiatlon
of the can, and see whut clews he
can plek up.
