VAUGHN BENNETT DEAD AND
BROTHER WON'T TALK.
Dischar ged Shotgun Found With
Wounded Man ard Dead
Horses.
REPORT THAT VAUGHN
BENNETT WAS MASKED.

Clarksville, Tenn, March ii.
Earl Bennett, brother of
Vaughn Bennett who was found
wounded and dying ION the road
side Lnear Woodford, yesterday
morning and who subsequently,
died, was placed under arrest
last night at his home by the
sheriff of Montgomery county.
He is charged with being a
Night Rider. His bond was fix
ed at $1,000 which he promptly
furnished and was released from
custody.
Earl Bennett is only II years
old. His dead brother was "a.
The former was wounded, Sc
Verely. One shot passed through
his arm, another through his
right shoulder and a third bullet
hazed his head. Despite his con-
ditiOn, he reached his bedroom
without informing any of tile
family that he had been wound
ed.
When his condition was dis
covered, he stated that he and
his brother were riding along
the road and were fired on by
little body of six or eight men
who were lying in ambush and
who rose suddenly from behind
q fence and began firing on the
Benefits. Earl Bennett says he
saw two or three buggies nearby.
Further information than this
he refuses to give out.
The theory is that both he and
his brother were members Of the
Night Riders who raided Port
Royal and were on their way
home when shot.
1t is generally reported that a
mask was found on the face of
the dying Bennett boy. This
has not positively been confirm
ed.
Vaughn Benefits body was
found lying III the Trough
Springs road, mile and half
from his home, shot through the
temple, unconscious, and fatally
wounded. One foot was in the
stirrup of his saddle on his horse
which lay dead bedside him.
A few feet away was the dead
body of another horse. Both
horses were shot through the
head. Three shot guns, two
double and Que single barrel, all
empted of their loads, were
found at the scene of the tragedy
enc leaning against one of the
horses and the other lying in the
road, as if they had been carless-
ly dropped. 0ne of the shotguhs
belonged to Bennett. d.
Twelve or fifteen empty shells
we're lying just over the fence
nearby. Both the horses were

saddled and one was the proper
ty of Vaughn Bennett. The 9TH
er belonged to his father, Henry
Bennett. The shooting is thought
to have occurred about 2 o'clock
as shots were heard about that
time by people in the neighbor-
borhood.
