as simple as it was dreadful, but, though it
would seem resistance to such well-planned
murder of the trusting and unsuspecting was
impossible, the walls gave silent evidence
that some of the murdered ones had not been
sent to their doom without an effort to de
fend their lives. No less than a dozen bullet
holes in the sides and roof of the house attest
that armed men, when struck down so relent
lessly, has attempted to shoot their murder
ers, but, unfortunately, the aims had been
wild, and the murderers are reserved for the
hempen halter,
THE SITUATION.
This building is located ju&t on the rising
edge of a beautiful narrow valley, circled on
the south, east and west by a range of mounds
or hills, fronting to the north in the mouth of
the valley. The*e hills are distant from the
house from a half mile to a mile, the closest
being on the south, to the rear. The house
fronted to the road just in the bend, sitting
back about its own length from the roadway.
From this point of the road can be bad a full
view of everything for half a mile iu every di-
lectioo, but not another house is within sight
It is about seven miles from Cherryvale, ten
miles from Thayer, eight miles from Ladore,
and two from Morehead and just in the north
west corner of Labette county.
WHERE THE MURDERED NOW SLEEP.
With the exception of Dr. York, Henry F.
McKenzie and G. W. Longcor and daughter,
whose families took charge of their remains
and buried them at Independence, the bodies
of those found in the garden graves were
quietly taken by silent men who knew' them
not, yet longed for vengeance on their assas
sins, to the base of a high mound about a
mile to the southeast of the devil s kitchen,
and there a second time returned to the earth
to sleep until the final resurrection.
WHO THEY WERE.
The first cf the eight bodies discovered was
Dr. Yo*k, of Independence.
GEORGE w. LOXGCOB AND DAUGHTER.
Mr. Longcor was a neighbor of Dr. York’s,
from whom be had purchased a team just be
fore he started from Iowa, last December. He
and his infant child were buried in one grave.
He, as all the other men, had the back of the
skull crushed in and broken and his throat
but, and the body stripped of nearly all cloth
ing. The child was placed at the father's
feet, without a bruise or a mark of violence,
and with all its little clothes on, even the hood
and mittens, and many judge that the infant
had been buried alive.
L. O. BROWN
was from Cedarv&le, Howard county. He
had recently traded horses near Ladore, and
was supposed to have had about sixty dollars
with him. He was recognized by a silver
ring on his finger, which was identified by the
friend Johnson, with whom he had traded
horses.
w. r. m’cbotty
lived near Cedarville. He was eu
dependence to contest a land claim. One re
port says he had a large sum of money on his
person, and another, judged to be more relia
ble, that he bad bnt a small sum.
HENRY F. M’kEXZI*
was from Hamilton county, Indiana, and was
on his road to locate at Independence, where
his sister, Mrs. J. Thompson, resides. He had
but little money, and was on foot, and bad
been missing since December last
be fooled by an assumed stupidity which was
the disguise of most hellish cunning. The
old hag sat mum and gloomy, pretending she
could not understand or speak English; old
Bender said nothing; Kate, she of the evil
eye, denied all knowledge of the lost, and
the younger male villain fooled them with a
well made-up story. He said that about the
time they said Dr. York was missed he
(Bender)
HAD BEEN SHOT AT
in & lonesome place near Drum creek, one
evening, and it must have been by those who
killed the Doctor. He described the place
minutely, and then took them to it, and it
was found as he said, and they half believed
his story, and returned with him. Colonel
York repeated the story given above of sup
per of pistols and knives offered to the lone
woman, when the old hag soon found her
sense of the English language improved. She
understood all that had been said, and flew
into a violent passion. She denied the story
of the supper, but said that that was a bad and
wicked woman whom she would kill ii ever she
came near them again; that the woman was a
witch and had bewitched Kate’s coffee; and
then she ordered the whole band away. While
g oing and coming from the creek John told
ol. Yerk that his sister Kate could do any
thing, that she could control the devil, and
that the devil did her bidding. When they
returned to the house Col. Y'ork tried to in
duce this wonderful mistress of the devil to
reveal where the body of his brother was.
She positively and persistently refused her Sa
tanic aid at this time, giving as her reason
therefor that she could not ao so in the day
time and while there was so many men and so
much noise about.
AN INVITATION.
The pretended sorceress and real fiend,
then told Colonel York, privately, that if he
would come the next night, Friday—when
best she worked her spells—and bring only
one man with him, she would take him to the
grave of his murdered brother. Had the Col
onel been so foolish as to believe the myste
rious power of the creature, there is no
doubt she would have proved her promise
f ood. The whole baud then left the house.
hey visited the house of Eoach, and Smith
&r.d Harness, at Ladore, and made many
threats, but accomplished nothing. Their
intent was good, but they Jacked an expe
rienced detective aud leader. So strong was
their conviction, however, of the guilt of the
Roaches and the Benders that they would
have hung them then if it had not been for
the persuasion of Colonel York and a few
others, who were determined that none but
the known guilty should suffer. Of course,
this visit alarmed the Benders, and they lied.
How’, has been published in the limes.
MORE CARELESSNESS.
It seems strange that no wutch was put
upon the suspected Benders, and still more
strange that they should have been gone three
weeks before any knew of it. Wheh they
went to Thayer they left their team and wag
on and dog on the public street of the towo.
On the street the team and wagon remained
for two days without a claimant, when they
were taken charge of by a livery firm there—
Beers <fc Wheeler. No notice, other than an
item in the Head Light, the local journal,
was given of the finding of the team, and no
description of the horses published, though
they were peculiarly and similarly marked.
Had such description been given, it must
have led to the speody pursuit of the fleeing
criminals. It is not suspected that there was
any guilt in this neglect but only carelessness.
THERE MUST BE ▲ GANG.
No doubt is entertained that the Benders
have not been alone in their damnable vil
lainy. They must have had confederates to
<&ran.eL filaAousCAuns:
to a number of men living throughout that
section, iu different directions, and to none
with more evidence of justice than to one
MIT. CHERRY.
This fellow lives about three miles south
of Parsons, and when Colonel York was mak
ing search for his brother he tried to induce
the Colonel to employ him as a detective.
Luckily the Colonel would have nothing to do

PETER BOYLE
resided in Howard county. His body was »
mutilated as to be hardly recognizable, b> t
his poor widow identified him by his peculiar
shirt, which her own hands had ’u&de for him.
He had started on foot for Osage Mission some
time last December.
THE UNRECOGNIZED.
The only one of the bodies not identified is
supposed, aud very reasonably, to be that of
Jack Bogart, who started for Illinois on horse
back about a year ago. The hor^e he rode
has been found in possession of a responsible
man, who purchased him from one of the
suspected confederates.
/This completes the list of those yet discov
ered on these grounds.
PISTOLS AND KNIVES FOR A SUPPER.
One of the most marvellous stories ever
heard, but which is vouched for by reliable
men, is the following: One evening, about
three months ago, a poor woman, footsore
and weary, traveling to Independence without
money, stopped at the Bender den
and asked lor some supper and for
the privilege of resting awhile. She
was invited in, and being nearly ex-
hoosted, she took her shoes and scanty
wrappings off, and laid down on the bed in
the back room. She soon fell into a troubled
dose, from which she was awakened by the
touch of the old hag of the den, who, point
ing to an array of pistols and double-edged
knives, of various sizes, lying on the table,
said in the spirit of hellish malignity: “There,
your supper is ready.” The woman was mo
tionless and breathless with terror, and, as
she sank back on the bed, the devil dame
picked op the knives, one by one, and drew
her finger across the sharpened blade, and at
the same time glancing fiendishly at her in
tended victim. How long this terror lasted
the woman could not tell, but at last she, in
the very desperation of fear, arose as thoBgh
not alarmed, and made a private excuse for
going out. She was permitted to do so, and
moving round to the shelter of the stable,
barefooted and scarce half-clad, she darted off
on the wings of fear, and ran for two miles to
the house of one who protected her and gave
her shelter. As she was running away she
turned frequently to see if she was pursued,
bat no one followed her, though she saw the
light from the opened doorway several times,
as though the devils inside were awaiting her
return.
Even this story seems not to have aroused
more than the before exisiting suspicion that
the Benders were not exactly the right kind of
people.

Although for the past three years this sec
tion has been iufested with horse thieves and
murderers, and this known to every one about
the country, it is probable the same state of
affairs might have continued for an indefinite
period bad not the murder of Dr. York, a man
of family, friends and reputation, led to the
exposure. M*;n have been missed and bodies

with him. This man, It is said by two men
who are generally credited, at different places
and times, and separately, told them he was
a member of a band of “Regulators’' in the
country, and that when they found
criminal they never troubled him with
the law, or put the county to any expense
about him; that the band always knew
their own work when they saw it, for every
man they put out of the way they laid with
his throat cut, his left arm across his breast,
and his right by his side. In such condition
and position were foand nearly all the Bender
victims. As a further evidence against this
fellow, it is known that soon after McCrotty’s
disappearance was known, and when there
was about to be some action taken to look for
him, he pretended to have a letter from Me-
Crotty, telling of his safe arrival m Illinois,
at his intended destination.
The other suspected parties who have been
arrested are men of bad repute in general, and
believed for some time to be horse thieves, if
nothing worse. On Sunday Sheriff Stone
took into Independence under arrest Addison
Roach of Ladore and Wm. Buxton, a son-in
law of the elder Roach, both found near Ce-
darvale. This makes the number under ar
rest now on suspicion, so far as Known,
twelve.
LAST SUNDAY AT THE OBAVES.
On last Sunday there were about one thon
sand men, women and children at tbe Bender
grounds, gazing with mingled emotions of
aorror and curiosity. The graves even yet
sent forth a sickening stench, and women held
their noses as they peered down into the now
tenantless holes. Two special trains were run,
on© from Independence aud one from Coffey-
ville, to a point on the railway line about two
miles from the house, and teams were busy
running to and from the cars to the grounds,
while a greater portion of the crowd was com
pelled to walk. These trains brought about
three hundred persons. There were about
six or seven hundred persons there from all
