The hotel keeper was able to give
only an imperfect description of the
strange guest, because, as he said, he
was too sleepy at the time to take
any particular notice of HIM.
Intercepted the Express Package.
After learning of the express pack
age the detectives at once telephoned
to Columbus, and had it intercepted.
The package was opened and the
stolen packages containing money or

desired to get rid of were found.

Confronted by n Trying Duty.
The detectives first went to his
boarding place, and we're informed
that he was probably at the home oe
his sweetheart, on the east side. They
| at once went to the Costlow residences
where they found Terrell. 1t was Il
trying duty for the detectives when
they were ushered into the room
where Terrell sat c~onyersing with the
young lady. Terrell appeared an
noyed at the intrusion.
Suspected of Burglary.
The detectives did not breach the
subject of the train robbery, but told

company them to the police station,
where the chief of police wanted to
interview him. Thinking that per-
haps the detectives were on the
| wrong scent, Terrell neryed himself
and said with apparent composure:
ST guess there must be some mis-
take"
Admitted the Crime.
He excused himself to the young
lady and accompanied the detectives
to the city prison. On the way to the
station the detectives told Terrell
what he was wanted for and what
they knew, and he reluctantly admit
ted that he had committed the crime.
A Written Confession.
At the police station a written con-
fession was taken by the chief of po-
lice. Terrell tried to keep his nerve,
but it was evident that he had been
under a severe strain and hat he
could not stand the ordeal much
longer.
He did not tell a connected
story. Most of the facts were brought
out by questions which he seemed to
answer reluctantly. Several times he
broke down, and when he was finally
led to a cell he was in a state of col
lapse. He then seemed to realize for
the first time the awful nature of his
crime. and the fact that he will, in all
probability, atone for it with his own
life.
Secured the Thousand Dollars.
AS soon as it was learned that Fer
rell had given the money to his sweet
heart, Inspector Barron went to the
house and secured it. The young lady
was utterly Frustrated by the dis
closures. She had not suspected Fer
rell of wrongdoing for an instant, and
it was a terrible shock to her and her
parents, who had regarded Terrell as
a model young man. The young lady
had never doubted his story that the
money which he placed in her keep
ing had been earned and saved by him
as he stated.
