BROUGHT BACK FOR TRIAL.
The Navassa Rioters Arrive at Baltimore
Charged With Murder

Charged With Murder.
BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 1.-The briggs
Alice and Romance with the Navassa
rioters on board arrived here this
morning at 10 o'clock. About 10
o'clock this morning the United States.
evenue cutter Ewing arrived in the
narbor conveying the brig Alice, which
arrived IN the capes yesterday, with
part of the Navassa rioters. The Ro-
nance, with the remaining rioters, was
left down the bay in charge of the rev.
enue cutter Lot M. Morrill,. The pris-
oners on the Alice were lodged in the
city Jail.
Between the hours of 9 and 10 yester-
day morning, the Ewing lay In the
vicinity of the capes. Among those on
board, in addition to the crew, were
United States Dist.-Atty. Thomas 6.
Hayes, Deputy United States Mar
shall Legrand Cole and United
States Commissioner G.. Morris
Bond. In MIR. Hayes pocket were 124
warrants, charging like number OF
persons with a varied assortment of
crimes, ranging from murder to riot and
mutinity on the guano island OF Navassa
on about the 14th day of September last.
The long wait for the bries had been
very tiresome. and it was with great
delight that shortly before l o'clock the
Alice was sighted coming in. Capt.
Bah er, of the Ewing, hailed the Alice
and asked if she wanted tow.
An affirmative answer was returned.
The vessels were then about six
miles from Cape Henry and as
Mr.. Hayes had no desire to delay the
brig until she was well within the juris-
diction of Maryland, he and Capt.
Baker gave no sign oftheir intentions to
the negroes who crowded the decks.
The Ewing lowered a boat and in a few
minutes had the Alice in tow. By
previous arrangement it was agreed
that Lieut.. Baldwin, of the Lot M.
Morrill, should await the arrival of the
Romance, which was supposed to be
lose behind. The Morrill, lay about
70 miles east of the Ewing and as the
tier steamed up the Chesapeake with
Alice in tow, Morrill, pushed out to
ga in quest OF the Romance. When the
Ewing reached Point Lookout Capt.
Baker hailed his tow.

NILES, Mich, Oct. 30.-The notorious
Bender family, whose horrible crimes
form one of the bloodiest chapters in
the bloody history of Kansas, have
been found at last. Of this there is no
longer any doubt. Mrs. Eliza Davis
was ischarged yesterday on the charge
of grand larceny. During the trial
many facts were adduced tending to
show that Mrs. Monroe, Mrs.
Davis mother, was connected
with the Bender murders. By
her own admission Mrs. Monroe has
had seven husbands and a number OF
them have mysteriously disappeared.
Her daughter Eliza insists positively
that Mrs. Monroe is old Mrs. Bender.
Much interc.t was manifested and many
blood-cuTdling and horrible revela-
tons were brought out during the
examination. Officers from Kansas
have been in the state for ten
days investigating the case, and are sat-
isfed that they have at last discovered
the notorious Bender family. A re-
QUESTION has been asked for, ana as
soon as it arrives the parties will be
taken to Labette County, Kansas, for
trial

Travellers Murdered in Their Beds-Kan.
sas Authorities Doubtful.
Topeka, Kas., Oct. 3O.-The statement
that the woman arrested at Niles,
Mich, is Mother Bender is doubted
here although there is no reason why it
may not be true. So long a time has
elapsed since the family disappeared
that all hope of capturing the MUIR
derers has been abandoned. The Ben
'ders kept small inn on the road from
Parsons to Cherryvale. Travellers often
stepped there for dinner, and wien on
a long journey frequently put up there
for the night. These, if their enter
tainers had reason to suspect that they
had any money, never got farther on
their travels. Considerable excitement
was occasioned in that part of the state
by the frequent disappearance re.
ported, but no search was made until DR..
York, of Independence. went on a trip to
Fort Scott, but did not return. That
was in May, 1873. The Doctors brother,
Col. York, went to Fort Scott to find
him. On his way he stopped at the
Benders' home, and their replies to his
inquiries aroused his suspicious. He re-
turned to their house the next day with
q posse of men and a search warrant.
Thep found the place deserted. Exam
ination OF spot in the yard
where earth had been freshly
turned revealed the body of DR.. York.
Further search resulted in the finding
of eight or nine other bodies. Search
was made for the family, but they had
fed beyond pursuit. 1t was reported
that Col. York and friends overlook the
party and killed the old man his wife and
the son and daughter, but the report
was never confirmed. IF the parties ar
rested in Michigan are Mother Bender
and Kate. they can be convicted with
out tronhie if they escane lynch law.
