From the Atlanta Herald !

From the Atlanta Herald
SPARTASBURG, s. c., December Is, lS73.-A
real sensation was produced in Spartanburg
last week by the arrest OF the Bender family,
accused of murders at Bivingsville, small
manufsc cturIng village in this county, about
i've miles from the town. Every one will re-
member the great excitement produced not
long since by the discovely of the wholesale
murders committed by the Bender family IN
Kansas, and the eNhuming of the dead bodies
of their victims found buried on the prem
ises around their dwelling, and that the Ben
der family made good their escape before their
crimes were detected. By vigilant efforts the
murdereIs were traced, and an officer, with
posse, came over from Union county and ar
rested an old man nearly seventy years of
age, at Bivingsville, by the name OF
Thomas Webb, as the yeritable
old man Bender, and his wife as the old lady
Bender and have taken steps to arrest his
son, Joshua Bender, and his wife, who are
living in North Carolina, near Hickory sta
ton, on the Western North Carolina railroad.
We learn that this man, Thomas Webb,
shoemaker by trade, formerly lived near
Bivingsville, and moved west with his family.
About seventeen years ago the name of Bend
er must have been assumed by them, when
they moved west or when they commenced
the life Of robbers and murderers, as the old
man and his wife moved back to the county
q short time since, and settled in the same
in which they formerly lived,
without creating any Suspicion. being Temem-
bered and recognized by the name of Webb
by some of the older citizens who knew them
many years ago.
