FIRST DEGREE MURDER
VERDICT RETURNED AGAINST THE
SLAYER OF MESSENGER LANE.
Terrell to BE Electrocuted Unless He
Secures a New Trial-PrisOner
Showed Slight Emotion.

MARYSVILLE, o., Oct 3O-rhe Jury at
midnight returned a verdict of murder in
the first degree without recommendation,
against Rosslyn H. Terrell for the murder
on the night of Aug. 10 last, of Charles
Lane. an express messenger on Panhandle
eastbound train. The murder was commit
ted for the purpose Of robbery. Terrell Sc
cured 81 900 in money from the way safe
of the Adams Express Company The ver-
dict carries with ii the death penalty which
in Ohio is electrocution. desperate ef-
fort was made to save the prisoners life.
The crime was not denied but the plea was
made that he was mentally irresponsible and
an attempt was made TO show that insanity
was hereditary in the Terrell family.
The deliberations of the jury occupied six
hours and thirty minutes, and the verdict
was reached at 11:40 tonight Both Judge
Melhorn and the prisoner had retired for
the night, and nearly an hour was con-
sumed before court could be convened and
the verdict received. The finding was de-
livered in the usual form. When the in
dictment was read Terrell appeared to be
taken by surprise and his face flushed. This
was the first visible sign of emotion that
has been shown by the prisoner during
the trial, but ne quickly regained his COM
posture and was led back to his cell without
having uttered word. Judge Melhorn dis
charged the jury and J. L. Cameron, coun-
sci for the defense, at once gave notice of
a motion for new trial. One of the
grounds of the motion will be the sickness
or Juror George Westlake, who broke out
with measles shortly after the jury had
retired to deliberate. Mr.. Cameron asserts
the belief that in his condition Mr. Westlake
would have agreed to any verdict IN order
to be released from duty. There were not
over twenty spectators in the courtroom
when the jury reported.
The cost of the trial to the State and
Union county will be about $500.
The case was given TO the jury by Judge
Melhorn at 4:40. His charge was quite
lengthy, being devoted largely to instruc-
tons for guidance of the jury in determin-
ing the mental status OF the prisoner at the
time the crime was committed. He espe-
oially admonished the jury that no light
or fippant doubt or within, and no senti-
ment or previous impression should be
allowed 10 enter into the case. The jury
at once retired for elaboration
Ferrells demeanor during the whole of
the last days proceedings was one of ap-
parent indifference, and during the early
part of the evening while the jury was
debating the question that meant life or
death to him he was playing cards in the

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CHICAGO. Oct. 30.-It is planned to make
Nov. Commercial Travellers day. The
Republican national committee is consider
ing arrangements to have it declared a
holiday in certain cities. and mass meet
ings will be held that night in several
large cities Of the country. In some in
stances the meetings will be preceded by
Republican travelling mems parades.
George l.. Lavery, vice chairman of the
department of commercial travellers, Re-
publican national committee, has been APP
pointed to take charge of the work. Me-
gotiations have already been opened with
the proper committees in the foremost
large cities of the United States, and it is
expected by the Republican campaign man.
ayers that the coming demonstration will
be the most extensive and complete ever
before attempted in the national cam
paign.
The travelling mems vote is considered
one Of the prime factors of the election.
Chairman James x. Jones, of the Demo-
cratic committee. says the efforts Of the
Republican national committee in the d.
rection of the travelling men is insignia
cant. The Republican managers, however.
explain by saying that while they are
after the doubtful voter in the ranks of
travelling men, it is being done because no
loophole Is to be left unguarded.
The suggestion Of the Commercial Trav-
elers' day. has met with ready response
from several of the larger organizations
in the country. and it is said no pains
will be spared to make the day memorable.
Speaking of the proposed plans, vice chair
man Of the Republican national committee,
H. G. Payne, said: Never in the history
OF the Republican party has the national
committee expended such effort to reach
the commercial travellers vote as in the
campaign of 1900. While we may not have
as many voters to convert in previous
years, there has been an immense amount
OF work done. and the results show be-
yond any doubt that the commercial trav-
elers who are with us are well in the
majority. We have been able to secure
facts and figures which have been of great
help to us in pushing the campaign work
In their ranks. and for this reason, If for
no other reason, we feel fully compensated
for the amount of time, labor and expense
which has been necessary in connection
with the work We expect Nov. to be
big day and commercial travellers will
contribute largely in the mass meetings
which are being arranged in the East.
middle West and West. 1t will be a fit
ting climax to vigorously prosecuted
campaign and unless all indications are
contradicted the commercial travellers will
come to the polls Nov. almost solidly
united for Mckinley and Roosevelt"

EXPLOSION IN A MINE
THREE MEN KILLED AND SIX BADLY
BURNED IN COAL PIT.
Gas Ignited and Wrecked n Section of
the ROOf-Five of the Injured in
Critical Condition.

WILKESBARRE. Pa, Oct. 30.-A heavy
explosion of gas occurred in No. slope of
No. shaft of the Kingston Coal Company,
at Edwardsville. at 8 clock this afternoon.
in which three men lost their lives and six
others were badly burned. Five of the six
injured are in a precarious condition and it
is doubtful If they can survive. The names
of the dead are:
PETER USOvIGE, aged twenty-three,
miner single.
FRANK MACALoUSKI, aged twenty
two laborer, single.
JOHN DOLAN. aged twenty-four. miner,
single.
Those believed to be fatally injured are:
Michael Gatorski, Adam Lotoski, Andrew
RatoukisN, John Bucho and David Evans.
When the men were brought to the sur
face by the rescuers the skin hung in
shreds from their bodies.
The work of rescue was dangerous, as
"after-damp" had accumulated. The first
rescuing party that went down the mine
was driven back and two men in the party
had TO be carried out A number OF physi-
clans were on hand, and as fast as the in
Jured were brought TO the surface their
wounds were dressed and they were sent
70 the hospital or their homes.
The force of the explosion was so great
that il blew down a great section of the
roof. 1t thought at first that there
were a number of men back of the fall.
but tonight the mine officials were of
opinion that all of the men had been taken
out. The relatives of two men reported.
however, that they are still missing. The
accident was due 10 an employee. who d.
verted the air course unwittingly and al
lowed the gas to accumulate in the place
where the men were ar work The latter
had been warned in time to vacate the
place, but they did not think they were in
Ganger, and went on with their work.
The explosion soon followed.
Two more dead bodies were taken out
of the mine at IL oclock tonight. The
victims are Michael GGlawehous and Adam
