HORRID MURDER. Died at his residence in this county, on Thursday the 16th inst. Mr. FRANCIS SANDERS, aged about 50 years, of wounds received by the hands of an assassin, on Thursday evening preceeding. The circumstances are concisely these:
On Wednesday evening the 6th inst. whilst engaged in looking over his farm, he was shot at by some villian in covert. Fortunately, at this time, he received no injury. Who it could be or what extraordinary motive the assassin could be actuated by, it was impossible to conjecture. On the evening following, about dark, as he was returning to his house from a piece of new ground, where he had been superintending his negroes, he suddenly received a blow, without knowing at the time from whence it came, on his head, which instantly brought him senseless to the ground. A repetition of blows appears to have succeeded the one which brought him down; in this situation he was found shortly after, and brought to his house, where he languished until last Thursday morning about 5 o'clock, when he died, having previously recovered his senses. The villian who committed the attrocious act and whose name is _______ JANISON, has confessed his crime and is now in close confinement in Jackson jail, together with a negro fellow belonging to Mr. SANDERS, who has also made a full confession.
The deceased emigrated to this county from Davidson county, Stones river, where he had resided many years.
