A FAMOUS CRIMINAL CASE
Tennessee Man Must Answer
For an Old Lrime.

A few days ago this paper con-
tanned the announcement of the ar
rest by Hill county officials of an
Ellis county citizen who was
wanted in Tennessee on murder
charge of long standing. The mans
name was John Terrell, but he was
going under the name of John
Woodward. He was taken to Hills
boro and lodged in jail and the
sheriff at Dover, Tenn, notified OF
his arrest. In the meantime Ter
rell had stated that he would return
to Tennessee without requisition
papers, but when the Tennessee Of
Ger arrived he had changed his
mind. He engaged counsel and had
had habeas corpus proceedings in-
stituted to secure his release. The
! proceedings were held before Dis
trict Judge Scott at Waco this
week and Terrell was remanded to
Jail for thirty six hours to await
the arrival of the necessary
papers from the governor of Ten
nessee. Yesterday Terrell realized
that his little game would be
knocked out aud decided to waive
requisition papers and return with
the officer to the scene of bis crime,
and is now on the road to that
state.

nessee and is known there as the
