Sheriff Buford retirned to New lrrv on Fri(lav aj1eiloon with Wvil fiami Sa1:ders. wh-Io 'was airresled in1 Asheville. In March of this year Amelia Math is and her daughter, Carrie Mathis, were murdered. Amelia was the wife of Sanders. He enticed them away from home, and it is claimed chocked them to death in the woods near by and immediately left the county. Sheriff Buford has been on his track for some time. He says that when he first left he went to Whitmire, and then to Jonesville, in Union county, and afterwards to Salisbury. N. C., and Knoxville, Tenn.. but for some time has been working in a tannery near Asheville. The governor had of fered a reward of one hundred dol lars for his arrest. For some time Sheriff Buford has been in corespond ence with George Greenlee, a negro detective of Asheville, and on Thurs day night Greenlee telephoned the sheriff that he had Sanders in cus tody, and the sheriff left immediately for Asheville and returned with San ders on Saturday afternoon.. Sanders admits that he killed the women and gives as an excuse that his wife had threatened to have him put out of the way, and in order to save his own life, he took the life of the women. He givs no rason or ex planation for killing the daughter. -The evidence before the coroner showed that the women had been struck with some heavy instrument, but Sanders says that he only slapped themin the face and then choked them in the face and then choked physically and is about fifty years old. This makes another murder case to the list already on the dooket for this term of court. Dead Fall Farmers Union.
