All kinds OF rumors were wildly Hosting
about in VAndewater's neIghoornOod
when daylight came and the fact WAS
known that he had been shot. It was
said By seme, that having become go
wrapped up in his efforts TO have Judge
GilderGleeTe removed from the bench, he
scarcely talked of anything else every
day in the week. Vandewater's Friends
laughed at the stories, saying they were
coneocted by an inefficient and almost
useless police force in the precinct. They
declared their conviction that he bad
been shot by an unknown man, and one
of VandewAter's friends did not hesitate
to say, that in his opinion, the man who
did the shooting was bred to do it, to get
him out of the way. IS he put it VIM.
Nolan, Of Brooklyn, was arrested, and
identified by VsndewAtez as the person
who shot him. According to document
drawn up by Vandewater's lawyer and
sent to the governor, Judge Gildersleeve
corruptly agreed to appoint VAndewater
as an officer of the court Of general hes-
sions st 81, 200 per annum, upon condi-
ton that he should pay Elmer u. Glider
sleeve, brother of the Judge, out of his
salary $40 q month. A short time SITTER
wards VsndewAter was appointed 10 the
position and began from the first month
TO pay the judges brother $50 month.
These payments we're made up 10 June
1873, when Vandewater discontinued the
payments. Judge Gildersleeve, Vsnde-
water makes oath, threatened to remove
him unless he carried out his agreement
with him. Then the judge sent his father
and other persons to him 10 brighten him
into resuming payments, but he refused
to resume them, saying he had receipts
which would ruin the judge il published
Chicago, 16.-At Fort NiobrArR, the
fact has been developed that Lieutenant
Cherry WAS killed by one of his own pur-
suing party. About 10 O'Clock on
Wednesday morning, Cherry, who had
divided his party, retaining three men
with him, saw men ct q distance on a
bluff While riding along, with Sergeant
or his right hand and
Thomas Locke and James Conroy in the
rear, shot was fred behind them, when
he lieutenant at once turned to the left

It whom it appears he had directed the |
lrIt shot. Oonroy was wounded and |

TO his own statement, seeing |
ais officer shot down, and strange men |
apidly advancing upon them, believed |

hat the men advancing were the des-
he at once fed and after |
iding down his own horse and Lieuten-
mt Cherry's, which followed him,

Itrocious murder Of Lieutenant Cherry. |

vas scattered over several miles, and it |
vas after wards aEcertAined that the men |

o the scene, and sent Lieutenant Cher
