He Wes Found at the Home of His
sweetheart In Columbus, O.-Was
to Have Soon Been Married-Gave
Stolen Money to His Fiancee-Most
of 1t Recovered.

Columbus. O., Aug. 13.-Charles r. H.
Terrell, former employe Of the Adj.
ans Express company, was arrested
Sunday afternoon in this city, and has
confessed to- the killing of Messenger
Charles Lane and the robbery of the
way safe of the Adams Express COM
pany on the Pennsylvania east bound
train which arrived in this city at mid
night Friday. One thousand dollars
OF the money which he had stolen was
recovered.
A Prospective BrideErOom,
Terrell was to have been married
Thursday next to Miss Lillian Costlow,
the beautiful young daughter of Pat
rick Costlow, an engineer on the Penn
sylvania lines. He had been discharged
from the employ of the Adams Express
company about three weeks ago, and
had not since been able to secure en-
ployment. He confessed that the mo.
tive OF the robbery was to secure money,
of which he felt in great need on ac-
count of his approaching marriage.
The money recovered he had given to
Miss Costlow to keep for him. saying
that it was money he had saved from
his earnings. He was at the home of
his affanced and in her company when
placed under arrest. When taken into
custody he assumed nonchalant de-
meanor, but when he found that he
could no longer deceive the officers, he
made a full confession. After his state
ment had been taken by Chief of Police
Tyler and he was led to cell in the
police station, he was in state of nerv-
Gus collapse, and orders were given
that he be watched closely to prevent
him doing himself bodily injury. His
age is 20.
Money Recovered. l
AS soon as it was learned that Terrell
had given the money to his sweetheart
Inspector Barron went to the house and
secured it. The young lady was utter
ly prostrated by the disclosures. She
had not suspected Terrell of wrong
doing for an instant, and the news was
a terrible shock to her and her par
ents, who had regarded Terrell as
model young man. The young lady had
never doubted his story that the money
which he placed in her keeping had
been earned and saved by him as he
stated. 1t is believed that all the cash
taken by Terrell, except about $3.50
which he had spent, has been recovered.
The amount in the hands of the police
is S1,D60.31.

it's taxes would be increased 10 mills per
annum without any adequate return.
Opposed to this idea are the views of
many residents of the four suburbs who
believe that the city limits should be ex-
tended to take them all in, and that the
residents would profit by the extension
of the sewer and lighting systems of Sc

There is a third faction which is in IA
