woods at Pamrapo, N. j., yesterday, was
recognized last night as that of Catherine

body, when found, WAS hanging from q limb
of "a large beach tree. Near at hand were
found the woman's black straw hat and her
basket Mrs. Morgan Taylor, of Forty
third street, Pamrapo, recognized the woman,
and stated that on Friday, on the horse cars
from Jersey City, she saw the woman in
company WI tn man, and her attention was
attracted by the peculiar conduct of the pair.
They left the car and entered the woods at
Forty eighth street. She noticed that no
words passed between the couple, and that
the female wore black skirt over calico
wrapper. The bosy, when found, lacked
the black garment. The male companion
was five feet six inches in height, with sandy
hair, besrdleSs face and wore dark trousers
and black alpaca coat, white shirt and no

rhe alleged Benders Taken to Kansas
Bus Not Identified.

Oswego, Kan, Aug, l1.-Sherif Bender Of
this county, accompanied by Daniel Condor,
of Fremont, Nebraska, arrived here at one
O'Clock this morning with the so.called Ben
ders. The party left Kansas City at $40
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and at every
station along the line of the Gulf road there
were immense crowds to catch glimpse of
the notorious prisoners. On arrival here the
old man and woman we're locked up, and at
ten O'clock this morning they were taken into
the courtroom where they were Intercepted
by prosecuting attorney Waters and others.
They denied that they had
ever made confession, but the
old man admitted that he was an inmate of
Bender's house for six Neeks, he being sick
and unable to get away. 1t is generally be,
lleved that these are not the parti wanted,
although the old man is thought to have been
at Bender's. They claim that their name is
McGregor, and that they were on their way
to Jacksonville ILL.,, when arrested. They
did not know they were being takeA to Kan
sas until Parsons was reached and then the
old man raved and swore in frightful man.
nef. To-day both appeared unconcerned,
and they will be liberatsd in day or two.
McGregor says that while he was at
Bender's Kate and John threw man through
the fatal trap-door, letting him fall into the
cellar, where lie WAS afterwards murdered.
Old man Bender then secured the victims
money, which he kept, refusing t. divide
with his children. Parties were expected
here this afternoon from Cherryvsle to iden-
tify them, but they failed to come, and will
not be here until tomorrow afternoon.
Colonel Waters thinks neither of them is of
sound mind, but informed your repo ter that
they would be held for few DAYS
to await developments. No one except
the party making the arrest thinks the
prisoners are the Benders, although they are
cerlain that the old man is cognixant of some
of the crimes committed by them. Both are
notorious prevaricators, and but little reliance
can be placed II anything they say. The gen
eral opinion in this community is that old
man Bender and family were killed by uob
before they were able to get out of Labette
county.
After an interview Of an hour the par.
ties under arrest were again remanded....to
Jail, and ut O'Clock this afternoon another
interview was held with them by prominent
citizens and reporters, when it was ascer-
tanned beyond the possibility of doubt that
the prisoners we're not the Benders and there
arc many who doubt whether they ever saw
