The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-12-21

 two sons of the senior Andrews who were known to have arrived at Schus- ter about the time of the tragedy. John Andrews and Robert Andrews, 1t Is said, boarded a train at McWtlliams, a station three miles from Schuster sometime before the double murder oc- cured, and that they made threats be- fore leaving McWilliams against the life of Mrs. Andrews, their step- mother.
 The murdered man, according to MT. ,Griffith, had recently moved to Schuster from Mcwilliams, entering the mercantile business. He willed his property, including about $1,200 which was found on his person to his wife and 1t Is believed that this angered the two sons who immediately left Me- williams. MT. Griffith says that there is also a report in circulation to the effect that the $1,200 has disappeared, but the men suspected of the murder had no money, on their persons when arrested.
 The testimony of John Andrews and Robert Andrews coincided with that or a number of children who were near the Andrews home at the time or the tragedy. 1t was to the erect that they had been in the house only few minutes before a quarrel ensued pe- tween the senior Andrews and his WHO which caused them to leave the house. They had gone about one hundred yards from the gate when they heard four pistol shots. They returned to the house, they said. and found the bodies. The matter was suppressed and only a few persons in the neigh borhood knew of the double tragedy before Monday.
