WHO HE is.

Terence j. Rice, the Murderer, a Native OF
Norwalk, Ohio.
1t will be remembered by our readers
that at the time of the murder of the
tramp last August by the
man named Rice, now in Jail, indicted
for murder in the first degree, thaI Rice
refused to reveal anything more of his
identity than that his name was I.
Rice and that he was native of Ohio.
He claims to have done this as means
of keeping the news of his crime from
his parents and relatives. Sheriff Alte-
kruse is in receipt Of letter from a
man in NOrwalk, o., signing himself Jas.
Rice, in which the writer says that the
man imprisoned here is his brother that
his home is in Norwalk and that his
name is Terence j. Rice. This CORES
ponds with the meagre statements made
by Rice himself and as stated he is
another Ohio man.

An Affecting Scene.

The Common Pleas Court room was
the scene of an affecting episode yester-
day, when Judge Meyer rendered his
decision in the habeas corpus case of
Joseph Betzenhausen VS. William and
Margaret Barnes. Betzenhausen is a
resident Of Iowa.
Several years ago his wife deserted
him and taking with her their infant
son came to Alliance, where she after
wards died. The little boy was then
put in the Fairmount Childrens' Home,
from which institution he was adopted
about year and half ago by Mr.. and
Mrs. Barnes of Alliance. His father re-
Gently learned of his whereabouts and
brought suit for his possession. Judge
Meyer decided the suit in his favor yes
terday, whereupOn Mrs. Barnes, who, it
seems, has learned to love the little
fellow, screamed aloud and clasped the
little fellow to her bosom, cried and la
mented in heart-rending manner. The
boy, who is about six years old, never
knew any other mother and did not
want to leave, 1t was only after much
persuasion that the foster mother and
son were separated and then the woman
cried as though her heart would break.

More than thirty years ago there
