A Desperado Assasslnnted

CINCINNATI, June l4.-Tom Mcclellan,
a notorious deperado, made famous by
the tragic end of his counsel, Hon. c. L..
Vallsndingham, who lost his life in ex-
planning some points in the trial of Nc
Gehan for the murder of a man named
Myers, was assassinated in his saloon on
Basin street, Hamilton. Ohio, at twelve
o'clock last night. A constable hearing
the shot fred, ran to the saloon and
found Mcclellan lying dead in a pool Of
blood, From appearance Of the room
and position Of the body, it is evident
that some one entered the saloon, called
for drinks and while Mcclellan was serv.
ing the customer he was shot by some
one through q window that looks into an
alley on the west side Of the house. A
spring wagon had been backed against
this window and the assassin undoubt-
edly stood upon it when be fred, as the
pane Of glass was shattered into a
thousstd fragments. Although shot
with several bullets in the right temple
and side of the face, Mcclellan had
strength enough to get his revolver to
defend himself, but fell dead on reaching
the end Of the counter. No clue to the
murderer as yet.
