Shoots Friend In Back

When Terrell had finally nerved him
self for the crime he drew his revolver,
stepped up behind Lane unobserved,
and fired three shots in rapid success
sion into the messengers back.
Lane rolled off the chair on the floor
on his face and Terrell quickly fired the
remaining shot at the PROSTATE body.
Lane was unconscious, but Terrell,
fearing that the wounds already in
fiicted would not cause death, took
Lanes revolver and fired two more
bullets from it into the body.
Terrell then took from the pocket of
the dead messenger the key to the way
safe, opened the safe, and as q pre-
caution against surprise laid Lanes
revolver close by.
After he had taken out all the sacks
containing the money packages, money
orders and way bills. he placed the
packages in a satcheI and waited until
the car arrived at Plain City.
There he slipped off the train. He
walked about for few minutes to re-
gain his compOsure, and then inquired
for the hotel
He secured a room and retired for
the night without registering. Locked
in his room, Terrell proceeded to go
through the packages and take out
what money they contained. The de-
bris he tied in a package and planned
to get rid of it and his revolver.

The revolver he placed in the springs
under the mattress. He concluded to
get rid Of the bundle by expressing it

Terrell said he had become desperate
because of his inability to secure en-
plOyment, and a realization of the fact
that he must have money to defray
the expenses of his approaching mar
riage. The robbery. including the muir
der of Express Messenger Lane. had
been planned carefully. Terrell had no
accompliceS and no confidants. He
knew Lane we'll. They were close
friends, and he relied upon Lanes con-
fidence TO help him execute the crime.
He knew that considerable money was
always carried by the messenger be-
tween St Louis and Columbus, and
that he was certain TO secure a large
sum if he robbed the way safe.
Having provided himself with six
shooter, Terrell went to Urbana Fri
day moTaing and waited for Lanes
train.
When the train arrived Terrell went
at once TO the express car and told
Lane that he was out of money and
asked permission to ride to Columbus.
Lane consented.
For a short time after the train left
Urbana they chatted pleasantly. Lane

War Office Believes Butler Has Not Re-
crossed the Tugela.
LONDON, Feb. 6.-Thc correspondent
of the Associated Press learns from Of.
fetal sources that absolutely no confirm
alton has been received by the war Of
fee Of the report that General Butler
has recrossed the Tugela river, and is
marching Oh Ladyslnith. On the con-
trary, according to the information of
the wal office at the present moment,
there is every indication that things are
quiet at the front, and that no imme-
date movement is anticipated.
Regarding the dispatch from Lady
smith saying that Buffers guns have
been heard there, it is surmised that
some practice may have been going on
with the new batteries which have Just
reached the front.

SOME MISUNDERSTANDING

Thought the Whole Legislature
Would Meet Mt Frankfort.
FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 6.-There has
evidently been a decided misunderstand-
ing between the leaders Of the Demo-
cratic party and those Of the Republi-
can party regarding the session Of the
legislature to be held at London. The
Democrats state that they We're given to
understand that the session at London
would be abandoned, and that the legis-
lature would meet here in the capitol
building. Governor Taylor, who was
difficult Of access early in the day, an
nounces positively that the London ses,
sion will not be abandoned but declines
to say whether or not the Democratic
members of the legislature will be al.
lowed to meet in the capitol.
Adjutant General Collier would not
say whether or not the legislature would
be permitted to meet, but called special
attention to the fact that since Saturday
no demand had been made by the mem
bers of the legislature for the right tc
meet. He allowed it to be understood
that they would not be molested, saying
that it was ample time to decide what
to do when the demand for admission
to the grounds had been made. Hereto
fore the attitude of the military hat
been that the legislature could not meet
and that there was no need of their de
handing to do so.
On the other hand, it is unquestiona
bly, the understanding Of the Democrats
that the legislature as a whole would
meet in the capitol building, and tina
the Republican members would be re
called from London. Acting upon thi
understanding, messages were sent tt
all Democratic members to return i'm
mediately in order to be in readiness 70,
work in the morning.
On all the morning trains the Demo
cratic members Of the legislature cam,
pouring back into Frankfort. Message
were sent them telling them the mex
session Of the legislature would be hell
in this city, and urging them to return
at once. It is expected that by after
noon all of them will have returned, ex
cept a few who will remain in Louis
vile for the purpose Of attending SOM
conferences.

cations Of Ignorance on the
Subject.
Durham Special Says There Was
Very Severe Fighting on
Sunday.

LONDON, Feb. 6.-The war office state
mcnt that it has received no contirma-
ton of the report that General Butler
has rccrossed the Tugela river has failed
to shake public belief that operations of
tremendous Importance are proceeding
at the Tugcla, and it is thought that
either the denial was prompted by q de.
sire to keep the military movements as
secret as possible until something is &C.
complishcd or that General Butler is
keeping the home officials in the dark
pending results. It is obviously OK.
trcmely difficult to extract the truth
from the conflicting statements shroud-
ing Buffers movement. But most
of the commentators agree that the ag-
gregate Of the items tends to confirm the
belief that movements of Importance are
in progress.
1t is true that the correspondents at
General Buffers headquarters convey
the impression that his main force is
still south Of the Tugela river,
but it is easily conceivable that
the dispatches are SO censored
as to convey a false impression. Posi-
bly,, though dated Sunday and Sunday
night, the dispatches were written prior
to the movements reported to have COM
menced Friday. This has already hap
pened on various occasions, dispatches
being retained by the censor and related
when actually released.
Whatever may be the actual situation,
there seems no doubt that General Bull
ler's preparations for a fresh attempt to
relieve Ladysmith We're completed
Thursday or Friday, and though the
start was possibly deferred from the
date first selected, it will not be long be-
fore it is definitely known that General
Buffers forces are again fighting their
way towards Ladysmith. Those, how.
) ever, who expect General Butler to reach
che beleaguered town Monday night
seem to have forgotten the presence Of
the Beers. The best informed people,
while sanguine, fully realize that a Brit
ish victory can only be achieved at q
heavy cost.

the northwest.

engagements with the publishers of The
