THE OMAHA TAILY 11 EE: MONDAY, Alr(UTST Ui, 11)00. Upper room, anil asked the proprietor If any strangers bad registered or hail been seen about the hotel. The proprietor Raid that he did not remember having seen any stranger. Later In the afternoon the dc tsctlvis again atked the proprietor It ho had Been any strangers about, and he re membered then that a mnn who hod for gotten to register had stayed at the house orer night and had gone away on the early morning train to Columbus. The detectives at onco searched tho room and were re warded by finding line's revolver where It had been secreted. They also found sev eral waybills that had been overlooked by Terrell In his hurry and excitement while making up the express package. The hotel keeper was able to give only nn Imperfect description of tho strange guest, because, as ha said, be was too sletipy nt tho time to tako any particular notice of him. After learning of the express paekago tho detectives nt once telephoned to Columbus and had It Intercepted. The package was opened and the stolen sacks containing tho money orders, checks and other things which Terrell desired to get rid of were found. Chief of Detectives Kelley nnd Detectives O'Neill and Dundon then set to work to run down tho mysterious stranger, who, they had become convinced, was an employe of tho Adams Kxprcss company. Suspicion soon rested on Terrell and Information re garding his movements during tho last three days was considered sufficient to cnuso his nrrest. Tho detectives first went to his boarding placo and wero Informed that he wos probably at tho home of his sweetheart on the cast side. They at onco went to tho Costlow residence, where they found Tnrroll. It was a trying duty for tho detectives when they were ushered Into the room where Ter rell sat conversing with the young woman. Terrell appeared annoyed nt the Intrusion. The detectives did not broach tho subject of tho train robbery, but told htm that ho was suspected of a burglary and that they wished him to accompany them to the police sta tion, where the chief of police wonted to In terview him. Thinking perhaps that tho de tectives were on tho wrong track, Terrell nerved himself nnd said, with npparent com posure: "I guess there must bo some mis take." He excused himself to the young lady and accompanied the detectives to the city prison. I'rlMinirr IlrrnUx Down. On tho way to tho station the detectives told Terrell what he was wanted for, nnd what they knew, and he rcluctnntly admit ted that ho had committed the crime. At tho police station a written confession was taken by tho chief of police. Terrell tried to keep his nerve, but It wns evident that lie had been under a severe strain and that ho could not stand the ordeal much longer. Ho did not tell n connected story. Most of tho facts were brought out by questions, which he answered reluctantly. Several times he luoke down nnd when he was taken to a cell he was In a condition of collapse Ho ncomcd th'jn to realize for tho first time tho nwful nature of his crime nnd the fact that he will In all probability pay tho pen- nlty with his own life. As soon us It was learned that Terrell had rjlvon the money to his sweetheart Inspector Unrren went to the house nnd secured It. Tho young lady was utterly prostrated by the disclosures. She hnd not suspected Ter rell of wrongdoing for an Instant, nnd tho news wns a terrible shock to her nnd her parents, who hnd regarded Terrell ns a model young ir.nn. The young lady had never doubled his story that tho money which he placed In her keeping had been earned and saved by him ns ho stated. Pun I Itccord Vol (ioml. Terrell's homo Is In Steubcnvllle. Ills father Is said to bo u brldgo eurpentor nnd a highly respected citizen of that place.

Ter rell wns not ublo to give a very satisfac tory explanation In any Instance nnd after tho last complaint ho was discharged from tho service. Tho express company Uoea not charge Terrell with crooked ness In nny of these cuses, but says he did not glvo satisfactory service. It Is believed that all tho cash taken by Terrell except about $10 which ho had HpDtit has been recovered. Tho amount In the hands of tho police Is $1,081.31. A bundle of money orders which Terrell says he threw Into u vault have not been re covered. It has been determined by Ter rell's confession that the murder and robbery were committed In Union county and he will havo to bo tried there. He states that he shot Lano Just utter tho train left Mllfnrd Center uud tho rob bery must have been committed In Union county, nlso, ns ho left the train ut Platto City, which Is almost on tho lino botwecn Union and Trnnklln counties.

MACAltTHUH." LI WILL TALK PEACE (Continued from First Page.) nttthorltlcs place themselves In communica tion with the relief expedition, so that tho legatloners may bo liberated, foreigners protected and order restored. Until these demands are ucceded to It Is regarded as highly Improbable that the government of tho United States or any of tho Luropcan governments, nil of which havo made practically tho same demands upon China, will consent to a "cessation of hostile demonstrations" which nro being conducted, nt least so far ns this government Is concerned, with tho sole purpose of succoring tho besieged lega tloners In tho Chinese capital. Minister Wu Is Inclined to tnko nn opti mistic view of tho situation, but It can bo said authoritatively that his view Is not shared In fully by the Washington officials. There Is no disposition evident today to abate by one singlo Jot the demands which havo been mado upon China. A strong hope is expressed, however, that tho Chi nese government will accede to tho de mands eventually and perhaps at onco. This hope Is based upon tho edict appoint ing Karl 1.1 to suo for peace. To this ox tent It may bo said that the view of tho officials here Is optimistic. No reply at least no direct reply has been received yet to tho memorandum transmitted to tho Chinese government through Minister Wu by tho Department of State. It may bo that tho Imperative de mands contained In tho memorandum in duced tho promulgation of the edict de livered to this government today, but tho edict In Itself Is not accepted ns a reply to these demands. OeiiiiindM to lie Pressed. Tho attitude assumed by tho diplomatic representatives of European governments In Washington is sufficient evidence that tho powers will press vigorously tho de mands that they have mado upon the Chi nese government. To Teliln tho allies will go, It Is de clared frankly, unless every demand Is acceded to and all possible reparation Is mado by China for t,he outrages already committed. Negotiations looking to any other settlement of tho disturbance In China will not bo considered seriously. During tho dny tho Wat department of ficials awaited anxiously additional nows from General Chaffee. One dispatch was received from him transmitting a ines sago ho had received from Minister Con ger. Evidently tho message had been de layed long In reaching him and his own dispatch was dated four days ago. Tho dispatch was as follows: 'Adjutant general, Washington: Tol Tsun, 8th. Message received today. " 'Pokln, Aug. 4. Wo will hold on until your arrival. Hopo It will bo soon. 'CONQKll.' "CHAFTKK." It la presumed at tho War department that tho dispatch of General Chaffeo was dated at Yan Tsun and thnt an error was made In transmission. Whllo tho mcs sago of Minister Conger contains nothing now It Is encouraging to tho officials to have renowed nssurances of his ublllty nnd determination to "hold" until rellof reaches him; that General Chaffeo will communi cate to tho besieged minister tidings of hopo and good ohcer If tho opportunity bo afforded him, which Is uncertain. Minister Conger's expression of hope that the long looked for relief may soon reach him simply adds to tho determination of tho government to rapidly press forward to Pokln ns rapidly as possible.
