Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Feb. 1S.-During
the heavy SHOWS of a few days ago the rural
mail carriers experienced a great amount
of trouble delivering the mails in different
parts of Shelby county. At a mailbox on
one Of the pixies the snow had drifted to
such a height that the carrier notified the
patron that he would have to make a path
wayif he wanted to get his mail. This the pa
tron refused TO do and the carrier then left his
mail in the postofice. The patron then no.

ingtOn as to the actions of the carrier.
Postmaster Lewis to-day received the fol-
lowing ruling in the matter:
Rule 1.-The department looks to patrons
and road officials to see that highways COW
cred by rural routes are maintained in
such condition that they can be travelled
at all seasons and indifference in this mat
ter will be considered a sufficient cause for
the withdrawal of rural service from a
community.
Rule "A rural carrier is not expected

mails. nor to endanger the United States
mails nor his equipment in an attempt to
serve his route under extraordinary condi-
tions of weather."

TERRELES MOTION FOR
NEW TRIAL OvERRULED
Inquest as to His Sanity VIII Be
Held at Bluffton To-Day, Judge

BLCFFTON, Ind, Feb. lS.-Judge Smith
to-day overruled the motion for a new trial
for John w. Terrell. convicted OF the muir
der Of his son-in-law, Melvin Wolfe. He
did not pass sentence on Terrell, however,
because OF a suggestion made by c. Z.
Sturgis. one of Terrelrs attorneys, as to
the sanity of the prisoner. Court was adj
journed until Friday morning. when Judge
Smith will take up the Investigation TO have
Terrell's sanity or insanity determined be-
fore he passes sentence. The exact method
of procedure is not yet known. but an in
quest probably will be held.
Before Terrell was brought into court to-
day his attorneys made a strong light to
prevent his removal from the county Jail.
claiming that his physical condition was
such that his life was endangered by be-
ing taken from his cell. After questioning
the judge ordered him brought into court.
He was taken i'm a cab from the jail to the
courthouse. He could hardly walk and
the sheriff and a deputy had to support
him. Terrell was not heard to utter a
single word in the courtroom. He at first
refused to sit down, but stood waving one
hand constantly, working his jaws as
though chewing something. His face was
covered by a heavy gray beard and he had
a haggard appearance. He kept his eyes
cast down and apparently saw nobody, and
did not pay any attention to what the
judge or the attorneys said during the pro-
ceedings.
If Terrell is declared sane tomorrow he
will be sentenced to States prison, if in
sane he Will go TO an asylum

F, v. ROYSE DIES OF
SELF-INFLICTED WOUND
West Lafayette Merchant Sue
cumbs to Injury After Five
Days of Suffering.
STILL A MYSTERY

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. 1S.-After lnger-
ing between life and death for five days,
Frank w. Royse. secretary of the Lafayette
Notion Company. and one of the most
prominent and wealthy men in West Dafay-
cite, died at 3:15 o'clock this afternoon from
the effects of a bullet wound inflicted with
suicidal intent last Saturday afternoon.
Nobody has ventured to assign a reason
for suicide, as Mr.. Royse's business, social
and domestic relations were of the most
pleasant kind. His books were found to be
in perfect condition, and John o. Morgan,
his partner, still inclines to the belief that
the shooting was an accident. The bullet,
which entered Mr.. Royse's mouth, took an
upward course and lodged so near the brain
that it could not be removed. Inflammation
spread and caused his death. Mr.. Royse's
mother and an aunt died insane. and his
knowledge that there was a strain OF IN
sanity in the family is believed by some 10
have led him to take his life. His daughter,
Miss Helen, arrived home yesterday from
La Sale Seminary at Boston, and was at
her ather's bedside.
Mr.. Royse was a lifelong resident OIL
West Lafayette, his father having been a
pioneer resident of that community. He
was forty-five years of age, a former truS-
tee of West Lafayette and prominent IN
many Industrial undertakings. A WIDOW
and one daughte survive.

Aged Defendant Declares There Is
Conspiracy Against Him to
Protect Another.
MISSING WILL INVOLVED
pecial to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
kOhOMO, Ind, Feb. lS.-There has been
a new turn in the Erwin township dynamit-
ing case. Samuel Michaels, of Burlington,
aged seventy. who is in Jail here charged
with destroying the $1,000 residence OF
Aaron Shock on account of Miss Eula
Burns. a domestic in the Shock home, will
urge in defense that he is a victim of con-
spiracy. In the preliminary trial. in which
Michaels and John Brown were held for
the destruction of the Shock home, there
was evidence by witnesses that among the
goods burned was a certain tin box, con-
taing, among other things, the last will and
testament of Mr.. Shock. The family was
at the time in Colorado, Mr.. Shock being in
feeble health. 1t is the theory of the de-
Tense that the d~ynamiting was done by a
person or persons not mentioned in the
will, who in the absence of a will would
come in for a share of the estate, and that
Miss Burns used her power over the infat-
uated Michaels TO extract a confession of
guilt from him when he really had no hand
in the vandalism.
Miss Burns sticks to her original story
duplicating Michaels and Brown. The
grand jury has been called TO investigate
the matter.
