Sheriff Huford returned Id Newberry on Kridav afternoon willi William Saadcrs, who was arreted in Aslit-vilU-. In March of this year Amelia Mathis and iter daughter, Carrie Mathis, were murdered. Amelia was the wife of Sanders, lfe enticed them away from home, and il is claimed chocked tliem to death in the woods near by and immediately left the county.

('.. and Knoxvillc. Tenn., but for -onie time has been workiny in a tannery near Asiieville. The yovernor had offered a reward of one hundred dollars for his arrest.

Sanders admits that lie killed the women and yives as an excuse that his wife had threatened to have him I>111 out of the way, and in order to save bis own life, he took the life of the women, lie uivs no rason or explanation for killing the daughter. The evidence before the coroner showed that the women bad 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'.
