YOUNG MOTHER, THREE
SMALL SONS. MURDERED

vICKSBURG, Miss. - (SNS) ~
About the most fiendish and
most CHASTITY murders in the an
mails of Warren County's criminal
history were unearthed last Sun
day night at 9 o'clock when A. c..
Sanders, upon returning home from
work on the Dornbush Plantation
at Background, found the battered,
bullet-ridden bodies of his COM
mon-law wife and her three little
sons, virtually in a sea of blood.
The murdered woman, to add to
the horror of the tragedy, was in
her eighth month of pregnancy.
The three little boys had been
shot and beaten. Severe decorations
about the head bore evidence that
the children were beaten horribly
with some sort of an instrument
also. The shooting was at close
range, leaving powder burns. The
boys were piled in heap at the
front door on the porch of their
home; their bodies and clothes
were blood soaked. The porch was
splattered with blood and numer-
Gus footprints and fingerprints
were evident.
Inside the front bedroom of the
house, sprawled out face down.
ward between the bed and chiffe-
robe was the bullet-ridden, skull
fractured, lacerated form of the
pregnant mother. Blood was so
thick that it was thought at first
that the abdomen had been opened
with a knife. Later examinations
however disclosed at least six bull
let holes, four of them showing
powder burns. It is believed that
she was shot four times, two shots
leaving the body Gaping fractures
were found at the front and base
of the skull, and deep cash was
over the right eye. The face was
battered and bore mute evidence
to the terrible beating administer
ed by the crazed murderer The
body bore grim evidence that rape
might have been committed before
the murder occurred. FingerprintS
were spread about the room.
Sheriff j. M. Buchanan, winding
up a four-year term in office,
stated that it was the most ghast-
ly crime, and the most terrible
sight that he had been called on
to investigate or witness. Other
officials stated that it was the
most fiendish murder in the an
