Dick Sanders

A MAN FOUND DEAD - Elberton Ga., November 21- Dick Sanders, a mulatto aged about twenty two years, was found dead this morning in the cotton yard of Gaindner, Arnold & Co. In the absence of the coroner, Mr. A. Oglesby, J.P., summoned a jury of inquest. The evidence disclosed the fact that the deceased was seen late the evening before in the cotton yard, very much under the influence of liquor, and was found lying on the ground between some cotton bales dead this morning. The body was discovered  by a driver working for Gaindner, Arnold & Co. There being no marks of violence on his person, the jury returned a verdict "that the deceased came to his death from exposure while under the influence of intoxicating drink."
