TRAIN ROBBERINJAIL
Express Messenger Lanes
Murderer Confesses.
STOLEN MONEY WAS RECOVERED.
Mystery of the Shocking Crime on
the Pennsylvania Road Last Fri
day Night Was Quickly
Solved by Detectives.

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 13.-Charles
r. III. Ferrell, a former employee of the
Adams Express company, has been ar
rested in this city and has confessed to
the killing of Messenger Charles Lane
and the robbery of the way safe of the
Adams Express company ON the Penn
sylvania east bound train which arrived
in this city at midnight Friday. One
thousand dollars of the money which he
had stolen was recovered.
Terrell was to have been married on
Thursday next to Miss Lillian Costlow,
daughter of Patrick Costlow, an engineer
on the Pennsylvania line. He had been
discharged from the employ of the Ad-
ans Express company about three
months ago and had not since been able
to secure employment. He confessed
that the motive of the robbery was to
secure money of which he felt in great
need on account of his approaching mar
riage. The money recovered he had CIV
en- to Miss Costlow to keep for him, say
ing that it was money he had saved
from his earnings. He was at the home
of his affianced and in her company when
placed under arrest.
The robbery had been carefully plan
ned, and it included the murder of Elk
press Messenger Lane. He had no ac-
completes and no confdants. He knew
Lane well-in fact, they were friends
and he relied upon Lanes confidence to
help him execute the crime. He knew
that considerable money was always car
ried by the messenger on Pennsylvania
train No. between st. Louis and Co
lumbus and that he was certain to secure
a large sum if he robbed the way safe on
that train. Having provided himself
with Smith d Wesson six shooter, IS
caliber, he went to Urbana Friday morn.
ing and waited for No. 8. When the
train arrived there, Terrell went at once
to the express car and told Lane that he
was out of money and asked permission
to ride to Columbus with him. Lane
consented, never for a moment suspect
ing the treachery of his pretended friend.
For a short time after the train left Ur-
bana they chatted pleasantly. Lane sat
in chair in the end of the car, with his
back slightly turned. When Terrell had
finally nerved himself for the crime, he
drew his revolver and stepped up behind
Lane unobserved and fired three shots in
rapid succession into the messengers
back. Lane rolled off the chair on the
floor on his face, and Ferrell quickly
fred the remaining shots at the PROSTATE
body. Lane was unconscious, but Fer
rell, fearing that the wounds already in.
fiicted would not cause death, took
Lanes revolver and fired two more bull
let's into the body.
Terrell then took the key to the way
safe from the pocket of the dead mes
senger, opened the safe and placed Lanes
revolver inside, where he could reach il
easily in case he was detected and need
ed it to defend himself. After he had
taken out all the sacks containing the
money packages, money orders and way
bills he placed them in small satchel
and waited until the car arrived at
Plain City, when he slipped off the
train.

GRADE CROSSING SLAUGHTER.
Eleven Omnibus Passengers Killed
and Eleven Others Seriously Hurt.


SLATINGTON, Pa, Aug. 13.-Eleven
persons were instantly killed and ii 9th
ers, several of whom will die, were Sc.
:iously injured last night in a grade
crossing accident three miles east of this
city by a passenger train on the Lehlgh
and New England railroad crashing into
an omnibus containing 20 persons. All
the dead and injured were in the omni'
bus, and but three escaped uninjured.
The accident occurred about o'clock.
The omnibus, driven by a man named
Peters, was returning to Slatington from
a funeral the occupants had been attend
ing at Cherrysville The coach belonged
to Henry Bittner of Slatington, and the
dead and injured were nearly all rela-
tives of Sophia Schoeffer, at whose OBJ
sequies they had been present. The
train was special and consisted of an
engine and one car. AT the point at
which the collision occurred there is
sharp curve in the road, and the omnibus
came along at a good rate of speed, the
occupants being unconscious of any inn
pending danger As the bus swung
around the curve the engine and car
came in sight. 1t was too late to stop
either the omnibus or the train, and as
the driver of the former whipped up the
four horses to cross the track ahead of
the train the latter crashed into its mid
die. The occupants were thrown in all
directions, bruised and bleeding. The II
dead were killed outright. Physicians
and a special train were sent for, and
the injured were taken to South Bethle
hem.
No Waterman is employed to warn
teams or pedestrians of any approaching
train, and those living in the vicinity
state that it is impossible to hear an APP
preaching train. A peculiar feature of
the accident was that the horses drawing
the bus escaped unhurt.
