A MAN NONE UNDERSTANDS
He So Loved Woman That He Kill
 ed His Friend to Marry Her.

Columbus, O.-When the express car on train No. came into this city from Ur6ara on Friday, August 10. it was empty. The messenger had disappear ed and all the valuables were gone.
 Within a few hours the dead body of the express messenger. Charles Lane, was found by the tracks, but who killed him was a mystery.
 | That mystery was cleared up when the detectives arrested Rosslyn H. Fer rell for the murder. They brought to light an astonishingly cold blooded and daring murder. and one so ingeniously planned that but for a trifing accident it would probably have gone undete ,t- ed.
 Terrell killed his boyhood friend shot him in the back-so that he might rob the safe in the express car and get money with which to marry his sweet heart. Miss Lillian Costlow.
 Aside from the cold blooded nature of { the crime. Ferreli's case has attracted attention all over the country, especial 1 ly that of criminologists. Opinion seems to differ as to whether he is a ! degenerate of a rare and peculiar kind, or whether he is an individual beyond the average in intelligence who yielded to criminal emotion. His degeneracy does not show in repulsive face or form or bearing. for he has handsome. win ming face, and manly frame, a temper : which never seemed to runle, and al- ways had kindly manners.
 1 For love of Miss CostlOw he gave up his own religion, the Methodist, and be- R a a I~1 tiZed and received a new name, that of Charles. one enrolled in the calendar of the saints. In this fashion he became Charles F. H. Terrell.
 It was love. a mistaken, cowardly in- depreciation of it, that caused him tn kill. Terrell lost his position on June , and fell in debt. The date of his we'd ding to Miss Costlow. August Is, drew near. and something must be done. He would not give up his sweetheart. In his desperation terrible idea came to him. He would murder Lane and rob the safe. He could gain access to the car because he was a friend of Lane. He resolved to make this treach- erous play. He slew his friend, shoot ing him in the back. He plundered the safe. The next day he sought his pros pective bride and gave her the money he had secured with bloody hands, de- claring il represented his savings. On Sunday August 12, Terrell was arrest ed in the presence of his sweetheart.
 Ferrelrs own story of the crime is contained in his signed confession, now in the hands of the coroner. It is as follows:
 My name is Charles R. H. Terrell and my parents live in Steubenville. I for merly worked for the Adams Express Co. I was to be married to Miss Lil- Han Costlow next Thursday and I need ed money. This was what caused me to do what I have done. I looked for work and did not find it and the thought of being idle and without mon ey made me reckless. On Friday thought l might get some money in the way I did get it, and l immediately be- gan to lay my plans.
