FATE OF JOHN TERRELL
MAY BE DECIDED SOON

Bluffton, March 1.-THE fate of
John w. Terrell, SO far as the charge
of murder is concerned, may be def
initely settled Friday afternoon when
Judge Erwin, of Decatur, as special
judge, will be here to hear a motion
in the case. The attorneys of Ter
rell. who is in Easthaven hospital, at
Richmond, contend that the case on
the docket against him is there ille-
gally, and if this should be the ruling
of Judge Erwin the case will be dis
missed, and it is felt that. since there
is now little doubt but that he is in
sane. the charge of murder may never
again be filed against him, although
it could be done by calling another
grand jury. Terrell would in reality
not be free. for he would continue in
the hospital for the insane, where
friends of the man he shot probably
would demand that he be kept even if
the murder charge is dropped.

them that on or before April 10, 1907,
they cease the writing of special con-
tract insurance and predated policies,
and that they notify me on or before
April /. 1907, of their intention to COM
ply with my demand.
Il will also demand that each of the
companies, within sixty days of this
date, file in the auditors office com
plete set of all policies and policy con-
tracts which they are now selling and
intend to sell, copy Of which is to
be used by them and their agents in
selling life insurance, in order that
their correctness and legality may be
considered and decided"
Some Companies May Oppose.
The demands made by the auditor,
it is thought, are certain to meet oppo-
sition from some of the companies.
However, Mr.. Billheimer said that he
had been in consultation with some of
the officers of the Indiana companies
and that the proposition met with
very little opposition from them.
The demands made by the auditor
come as result of the investigation
of the affairs of the State Life Insur-
ance Company. The auditor antici-
pates very little opposition from that
company.
