A Murder in New York.

n Murder IN new hork.
NEW YORK, June 5.-Colonel Cole,
brother of Senator Cole Of California,
murdered one Hiscook. Hiscock was
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee OF
the House during the last Legislature.
Cole was arrested, and has made q state
ment to the effect that he entered the
army as aprivate and rose during ms
FIVE years service to q Major General
ship. iHe supposed Hiscock to be the
best friend he had in the world. When
he went South, in 1864, his wife was
sick, and was at one time, expected TO
die. He desired Hiscock, whoi is n rela-
tive, to look after hor. Afterwards he
made insulting propositions to her, and
being refused, made a forcible attempt.
She threatened to expose him. He pro-
fessed penitence, and she concealed his
conduct from her husband. She be-
came detected under q sense of her
shame. A week ago Hiscock met me
and asked me when | was going away
again. His guilty n aroused my
suspicion, and | learned all the facts
from my wife's lips. He (Cole) intended
to take her to her sister in Brooklyn,
and then return and force Hiscock Mt
the pistols mouth to confess and beg
forgiveness or leave the country. He
arrived at Albany en- route, and think
ing it better to have it off his mind, went
to the hotel, and, at the sight Of his wife
destroyed and children disgraced, be-
came m%addened., At the c%oroner's in
quest, Cole stated that when Hiscock
was within twelve feet Of him he drew u
| pistol from his pocket and deliberately
leveled it at his head, and almost touch
ing his face, he fred, and Hiscock fell
| without an exclamation. Cole said, on
his way to the station house, that His
| cock had dishonored his simple and in
noceut wife. He was much affected, and
kept repeating that fact, apparently
frenzied. "A
New YORK, June THE TriJune's
commentary on Cole and the killing of
Hiscock says he will escape the halter
on the principle that Sickles and Mary
Harris were acquitted.
The Times says it was Il deliberate and
intentional murder. E. j. Church de-
clined to net as the counsel for Cole.
Surratt's Trial-The Attempt to Procure
the Removal of Sheridan.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Surratt's trial
commences tomorrow. The Govern
ment expects to prove his completely in
the assassination plot; that he and Booth
planned the abduction and agreed to the
assassination; that Surratt left Mon
treal, April -, 1865, to participate in
the plot, and learned, on the way, that
Booth had precipitated the whole thing,
and returned to Montreal.
1t is not believed that Sheridan will
be removed, no matter what course may
be taken by the Executive in relation to
the recent removals. The President to-
| day received q letter from Gov. Wells on
his removal from office by Sheridan. lie
denies thathe was hindering the enforce
ment of the Reconstruction Act, rs
charged, and says his removal was
caused by personal malice. As to the
| charge that he had appointed rebels to
office, he regards Sheridan as culpNble
as himself, and adds, that Of the five
| LtNet SOLuulsSlOuClo SPPNiAhNA -,
Sheridan, three were rebels, n having
been a member of the convention which
passed the ordinance of secession, while
another claimed allegiance to the British
| Government. He concludes by asking
if military commanders have the right
under the law to make such removals.
