Graham, Texas, July 8.— The body
of Edward Sanders, 19, son of J. W.
Sanders, of this city was found today
in the Graham Cemetery beside the
grave of Miss Ixtttie Anthony, one
of the victims of the Fourth of July
outing here on the Braios River. The
youth evidently had been dead several
hours, when the sexton discovered
the body.
Beside young Sanders’ body were
found an empty bottle labeled poison
and photographs of the Misses Ixittie
and Ruth Anthony, daughters of M.
N. Anthony, who, with Gladys and
Reba Mae Davis, drowned while on a
swimming party last Tuesday. ■ I
Young Sanders' father stated that
Edward had been despondent since
the tragic holiday outing.
