HAVE EVIDENCE
ENOUGH IN CASE
Sheriff John p. Fleming of Aledo
Has Only One Worry, That
to Catch LanderS.
SAYS REMAINDER TO BE EASY
Mercer County Officials Declare
There VIII Be a PrepOnder-
ance of Testimony.
Especial to The Argus) .

Aledo, ILL.,, May 2-The only
worry Mercer county officials have
is to apprehend Lee Landers, al
legged slayer of Miss Maude Saun-
ders of New Boston.
There is no fear on our part
that we lack the evidence required
to secure conviction of Landers, ;"
Sheriff John P Fleming said today.
Our only worry is 10 capture him.
Once he is in our hands, we will
have no trouble in producing pre-
ponderance of evidence Of hrs
guilt"
Sheriff Fleming intimated that
there would be vastly more incrim-
mating testimony introduced in
court and to the grand jury than
there was in the inquest which
closed on Wednesday. 1t was found
inadvisable by the sheriff and Cor
oner A. N. Mackey to expose the
entire chain of evidence which they
have secured against Landers.
Sheriff Fleming declared today
that while there is only one day left
OF the week, he is still firm in his
belief that Landers will show up
or be captured before Sunday, a
prediction he made on Monday of
this week.
