The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1885-05-28

lief has never been changed, anG
it may be said here, that the
judge i'm his sentence of the mar
was impressed the same way ant
believed that he did murder Con
ly. On the 5th of July, 1882
: Guess was pardoned by Cover
nor Foster on the condition that
he quit drinking and his evi
ways, his record in prison being
excellent. For time it wa.
thought he would reform. Ole
friends came forward and ten
dered aid and. sympathy, but il
was no good. He has been go
ing from bad to worse until hi:
career was ended rs so graphical
ly stated in the columns of the
State Journal of last Friday.
Albert Guess was, it is said, a
boon companion of the murderer
of the Weldon family. He was
suspected OF completely in the
Weldon murder, but no evidence
was furnished establishing this
opinion. At Terrill's trial he tes.
tilted to having taken a drink
with him at Van Horns Saloon
in Gore, on the day of the mur
der.
There seems to have been a
strange fatality running through
the blood of the people suspect :
ed of taking part in the murder.
Old man Terrill. after the Wei
don murder took to his bed and
never arose again. and it is said
died i'll the gre ,fest of agony
There is no doubt but that he
knew all about it. if not himself
implicated. Bill Terrill was sent
to the penitentiary for life, and
died few years after. His death
was followed by the death of his
mother at the hands of his .cous
IN Morgan Richards, also sus
pected of taking part in the Vel
don murder. Richards was sent
up for life and is now in the pen
itentiary at Columbus. Leroy
Terrill. a cousin of Bill, hung
himself at Webb's Summit, this
county,,a a SHORT time after Bills
crime was committed, and while
not one Of the. suspected, was no
doubt prompted to suicide by the
terrible affair.
And now comes Guess, narrow
.ly escaping murder in his boy
hond days, suspected Of participa-
ting in two of The most horrible
tragedies ever known in the his
tory of the Valley, to crown his
career with the most cold blood
ed murder on record.
Ills FAMILY.
Guess was married ten years
ago and has three children-two
girls and boy, aged respectively
six. seven and eight years. His
wife is a thin woman who has ey-
identity had a hard time in life Il
The reporter called upon her and
secured the picture of her hus-
band, and III answer to to qucs-
tions said:
ALBERT was a hard, bad man
He is dead, but l can't say differ
ent. Whetherin liquor or out he
abused me greatly. I always
took the children's part, so he |
beat me forit. His death was
an awful one, but | can't feel so
sorry Tor it as | could if he had
treated me Welln
THE ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE.
