As a matter of fact. as Mr. Downer reveals for the first time. the Benders were put to death the night of their flight. The man .who tells the wonderful story gives nothing from hearsay, nothi from rumor or "reasoning," but his isnaie re- cital of an eyewitness, of a man who watched the fiends at work, who helped to organize the posse which pursued the fiendish murderers, and was present, gun in hand. until Kate Bolder. fighting to the last plunged with a bullet in her forehead, across the bodies of her mother, father and brother. George Evans Downer, of Downer’s Grove, grandson of Pierce Downer, who founded the settlement in 1833, tells the story. fully believing he is on his death bed, and that it is his duty to publish the truth to the world. A compact en- tered into by the members of the vigil- ance committee at the time has kept his lips sealed all these yours, but real- ization of the Get that if he did not speak the truth might never be known, induced him to tell how he assisted in the extermination of the fiendish family.

The grave of Dr. York wu found on the Bender place: it had sunk and the loose earth was easily penetrat- ed with a wagon rod. The grave Wu opened and the body of Dr. York was expomd fare downward. throat out and skull broken. This was in the orchard. In the garden two more graves were found, three bodies in one and four In the other. Before this a body had been found some mile: distant in Cherryvtue, making nine in all. to await a convenient opportunity ji,' burial. Kate used the former from behind the canvas and the old man followed with blown on the temples with the black- smith’s hammer. Afterwards a loose board wan taken up and bite throat cut. Then the body was robbed of clothing and valuables and cast into the cellar Nine bodies in all were found, but that probably represents the killing of the last six months of the stay of the family in the country. With the excep- tion of a little baby, all the bodies had their throats cut and bore the marks of two hammers.

A description of the house in which these crimes were committed reads like fiction; nevertheless, what was discovered after their sudden depar- ture bears out all the 'details, It war a small frame house, not more than 16 x 20, and fronted north.

The family consisted of William Bender, about sixty yours old: his wife, about fifty-five years old; Katharine, about twenty-five years old, and John, per hmps twenty-three. Katharine and John were children of William Bender by a. former wife. "We then notified Senator York and two hundred men were on the place the next day. We allowed a story to circu- late that the Benders had gotten away some time before, and that our atten- tion had been attracted by the deserted appearauwe of the plane and the disturb- ance of a starving calf. This was large- ly in order that. the attention of the supposed oontederates of the Benders might not be attracted to us."
