Fort Worth, Texas, F b. S.-Witn six hundred pairs of eyes focused rupted only by the ticking of a clock, the story of how Albert G. Boyce Jr, and Mrs. Lena Snaa1 cloped from Fort Worth on Noyemb 9, thereby setting in motion chain of srag!e events that has cost one mans life, driven another into exile and placed another on trial for his life, was told for the first time today by Edward Farwell, a friend of Edward Boy ce.

|. s. EXPRESS
 IS ABSORBED Hartman Interests Get Control of the Board of
 Directors.
MERGER TO BE MADE,
United States Express Company is to Lose It's Identity and Talk
 en From Field.

New York, Feb. S.-Action taken to- day by the Board of Directors of the United States Express Company prob ably indicates the early merger of that concern with the Wells-Fargo Com pany, Express.
 At the meeting of the board the Har- company were further -ngthened by the election of four of the sev n members of the board. This gives the Hartman estate quite as dominant control of the United States company as it has of the Wells-Fargo. Th , men elected are: O. c. Tegethoff, for years confidential secretary of the late F. H. Hartman; Joseph w. liar riman, president of the Hartman Nat ional Bank and nephew of the great railroad financier; A. G. Hackstaff vice president of the Illinois Central railroad, and William J. Everill, vice president of the BaltimoTe and Ohio railroad.
 One of the newly elected directors admitted tonight that the securing ol control of the United States Express Company by the Hartman interests means that in the future it will be ah- sorbed by the Wells-Fargo Company Express. The. merger will be brought about, he added, as soon as the legal 1tr -tffe way 5esn oT. ercome.
 The United States Express Com pany is an old fashioned Co-pactne, ship, while the Wells Fargo Company is an up to date corporation. T.I. constitutes legal obstacle and an ull- usual character in the matter ol merging two great companies engag- | ed in the same business, but the ob- stacle is not regarded as insuperable It is supposed that in the event of the merger being accomplished the United States Express Company will com pletely lose it's identity and thus. De wholly removed from the field as a separate common carrier, as all ex- press companies recently were defin- ed in an amendment to the Interstate Commerce law.
