 Search of Anderson. NO CHARGE AGAINST DOVE And Thinks He Is Good Fellow and Nay Yet Return and Fulfill His Promise
 of Marriage.

Mrs. Anna Terrill, of whom the Chat tanoJga Times published a very interss-- ing story about her visit to Chattanooga and which was copied in full in the Stats Herald yesterday morning, cailad at the office ys ssterday and requested that a cor rection be made. as there were several statements in the article which were in- correct. s-+zs
 The reporter assured Mrs. Terrill that the Sta.e Herald was perfectly willing to give her version of the matter.
 Mfrs. Terrifl stated that she did visit Chattanooga, as reported And also rhal she went to the police station and made inquiries about MT. Dove FMy object, !" sine said, was to ascertain informa tlon about MT J. J. Anderson. of lhis city who was tu have married my daughter on the 2Sth- Failing to hear any thing of LMr. Dove, I visit5lf his father, ana was told that he had not yet arrived.
 'tMr. Dove I consider a perfec- Senale- man." continued Mrs. Terrill, ''and had no thought of arresting him. But l did get cut a warrant for the arrest of An derson for larceny. He took off a very handsoma ring. the property of my daugh. er." ~
 What reason did Anderson give for not marrying your daughter, Mrs. Ter rill? queried the reporter.
 "He gave no reason. He and MT Dove bearded with me, and were close personal friends MT. Anderson told my daughter that they would marry and go to Cairo, H., to live. He feIf. last Sunday. I was at my polarization near Uniontown. and knew nothiC g. of his absence until 1 re- turned Sunday night, when he failed to coufs to his supper, as was his usual cus- tom. Monday morning l was told by MT. Dcdd president. of the Mutual Life Insurance company, for whom Anderson worked that Anderson told him he was going to take his best girl to Bessemer Sunday morning and would return at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and had not yet re urned. thsll concluded to go to Chat tanooga to see Mr Dove and inquire of him of MT. Ar,dersOn's whereabouts and the cause of his action.
 ''IT regard to what has been published about Mr Dove, I desire to say 1t is a mistake. MT. Dove told me he was go- ing to Chattanooga and this was agree able to both 'of us. It is true that we were engaged to ba married at the same time with my daughter. It was also agresd between myself and MT. Dove that in case he was detaired in Chattanooga that a future date would be set for our marriage.
 T did not know of any publication of the matter until saw the State Herald this morning. I only saw three men in Chattanooga and thought I was keeping the matter a secret. Have heard noth- ing yet from Mr. Dove and have been busy all the morning visiting the various newspaper offices to have the matter corrected."
 q see it is published you are quite weahhy," the reporter delicately re- | marked
 T have got plenty, and generally go in pretty good style, and I suppose that is the reason the Chattanooga papers de- cided to give so much publicity to the matter"
 Will you make any further efforts to capture Anderson?"
 'I am debating in my mind about what is best to do. I know of several places he is likely to be and have been thinking of teiegraphing for his arrest. I am satisfied hesis going under an assumed name. I saw letter about a month ago written by Anderson in which he said that he and Dove were going away and that they would change their names and the trains would cease moving when they came back to Birmingham. He gave no reason why they would leave" Should you succeed in capturing An derson would you prosecute him?"
 That is my intention now, but my daughter thinks so much of him I don't know what might do until catch him ? Where do you reside in the city?" My number is 1501 Avenue c. South Side. I have been living in Birmingham off and on since the place was founded. My husbands name was Foster Terrill He died about ten years ago. He at one time owned and edited the Elyton Herald
 Mrs. Terrill appears to be about 4C years old. Is rather small with blue eyes and hair streaked with gray. She talks very intelligent1V
