Ferrell's apprehension. They had been
at the hotel at daylight, while Ferrell
WAS sleeping in an upper room, and ask
ed the proprietor il any strangers had
been seen about the hotel. The pro.
prietor at first said he had seen none,
but when the detectives returned in the
afternoon he recalled the fact that a
man who had failed to register had
stayed at the house over night and had
gone away on the early morning train.
The detectives searched the room and
found the hidden revolver and several
way bills that had been overlooked by
Ferrell in his hurry and excitement.
The detectives telephoned to Colum-
bus and had the package intercepted
When the package wal opened and the
telltale story realized, three city detec-
tives set to work to run down the mys-
terious stranger. Suspicion soon rested
on Ferrell, and information secured in
regard to his movements for the last
three days were considered sufficient to
warrant his arrest
The detectives first went to Ferrell's
boarding house and were informed that
he was probably at the home Of his
sweetheart. They at once won't to the
Costlow residence, and were ushered in
to the room where Ferrell sat conversing
with Miss Costlow. Ferrell appeared
annoyed at the intrusion.
The detectives did not broach the sub
jeot OF the train robbery, but told him
that he was suspected Of burglary and
that they wished him to accompany
them to the police station, where the
chief Of police wanted to interview him.
Thinking that perhaps the detectives
were on the wrong scent, Ferrell nerved
himself and said with apparent com.
posure:
II guess there must be some mistake" !"
He excused himself to tho young lady
and accompanied the detectives to tho
city prison.
On the way to the station the detec-
tives told Ferrell what they knew, and
he reluctantly admitted that he had
committed the crime. At the police
station written confession was taken
by the chief OF police. Ferrell tried to
keep his nerve, but it was evident that
he had been under severe strain and
that he could not stand the ordeal any
longer. He did not tell connected
story. Most of the facts were brought
out by questions, which he answered re-
luctantly.

ing over railway porters with clubs is

conclusion was that he did not exist.

the chair on the floor on his face and
Ferrell quickly fired the remaining shots
at the PROSTATE body.
Lane was unconscious, but Ferrell,
fearful that his shots would not cause
death, took Lanes revolver and fred two
more bullets from it into the body.
Ferrell then took from the pocket OF
the dead messenger the key to the way

tion 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 satchel and waited un-
til the car arrived at Plain City. There
he slipped of the train. He walked
about for few minutes to regain his
composure, and then inquired for the
hotel.
He secured room and retired for the
night without registering. Locked in
his room, Ferrell proceeded to go
through tho packages and take out
what money they contained. The debris
he tied in 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 to
a fictitious address. Early the next morn

this afternoon in this city. and confessed
to the killing of Messenger Lane and
the robbery of the way safe OF the Adams
express company on the Pennsylvania
eastbound train Friday night. One
thousand dollars of the money stolen
was recovered.
Ferrell was to have been married
Thursday next to Miss Lillian Costlow,
daughter Of an engineer on the Pennsyl-
from the employ of the Adams express
company. and confessed that the motive
OF the robbery was to secure money for
the approaching wedding. The money
recovered he had given to Miss Costlow
to keep for him, saying be had saved it
from his earnings.
Fsrrell is but % years OF age.
He was at the home OF his afIar ced
and in her compeny when placed under
arrest.
When the officers took him into Gus
tody he assumed a nonchalant demean-
or. but when he found he could no Ion
ger carry out the deception he made a
full confession.
The confession OF Ferrell disclosed a
premeditated and blood-curdling crime,
almost impossible to believe. He said
he had become despondent because Of
his inability to secure employment and
a realization of the fact that he must
have money to defray the expenses Of
his approaching wedding.
The robbery, including the murder of
Express Messenger Lane, had been
planned carefully. Ferrell had no ac-
complices and no conflderts.
ae knew Lane we'll; in fact they were
friends, and he relied upon Lanes con-
fidence to help him execute the crime.
He knew that considerable money WAS
always carried by the messerge be-
tween st. Louis and Columbus, aud that
he was certain to secure a large sum if
he robbed the way safe.
Having provided himself shooter,
Ferrell went to Urbana Friday morning
and waited for Lanes train. When the
train arrived Ferrell 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
