Career of a Robber and Murderer.

In aninterview at Chicago, Detective Matt
Pinkerton details the career OF young
Henry Estee, now under arrest for the
murder OF two policemen at Geneva I he
young man was we'll connected, but had
the strange ambition to become highway
man and general desperate. He began his
life OF crime when but eighteen, since which
time he has served four and half years in
Iowa and Missouri penitentiaries and
Others for burglary and other crimes.
Nevertheless he preserved a good reputa-
ton at home. His lawless acts have been
performed under the Alias of Harry Emer-
son. At Geneva, Estees resid ance, he, in
company with two crooks named Larkin
and Mohahan, was caught by a couple of
policemen robbing a dwelling The officers
were shot dead in their tracks, and the
crime would probably have forever re-
manned mystery but for Estee's desire to
attain notoriety. In order to Join sup
posed gang OF cut-throats he attempted to
prove himself entitled to fellowship by
narrating his connection with the tragedy
in Geneva. The members OF the gang were
simply detectives shadowing him, and the
sequel was Estee's arrest for murder.

Wholesale Negro Killing.

A dispatch from Carrolton, Miss, saws:
Some weeks ago two negroes attempted to
assassinate j. NJ. Liddell Jr., prominent
citizen, intiicting several wounds. The
negroes engaged in this attempt are known
to be the most defiant and lawless in the
county, and since the attempt on Mr.. Lid
dell's life have been more openly defiant
than ever. For some reason not known
they swore out warrant few days ago
for Mr.. Liddells arrest. 1t was at this
trial that the killing occurred. The negroes
present were mostly armed. About /
O'Clock a party OF armed men, some forty
or fifty, rode up to the court house
They dismounted, and entering the
building, at once commenced firing on
the negroes, with the above result.
They then returned by the same
route they came. They do not live near
Carrolton. At the trial about twenty
colored men were present. The fifty white
men, well mounted and each carrying q
Winchester rifle, came gaaloping up and
surrounded the court house. They then
fired into the building, instantly killing ten
negroes and wounding three others, so that
they died soon alter, and with the excep-
ton OF a few who escaped through a win
dow, all the other negroes in the building
were wounded, some OF them seriously.
The trouble between Liddell ard the ne
sroes occurred three weeks ago. Liddell
had interfered in a row between two ne
groes and afterward heard the crowd ours
ing him. He walked up to them and in
CURED why they were abusing him. An al
tercation. ensued and a number OF shots
were fired. Liddell being. severely wounded

A Heavy Damage Suit Decided.

Ea
The remarkable case of Charles Z. Dunn
against the Burlington, Cedar Rapids &
Northern Railroad company was decided
in the Minnesota supreme court, the order
OF the lower court in favor of the plaintiff
being affirmed, and new trial refused.
judges Berry and Vanderburgh filed a dis
senting opinion. Dunn is minor, who was
terribly injured and most horribly mutilat-
ed in railroad accident in the spring of
1884, for which the above company was
held responsible. His most serious injury
was the loss OF his eyesight. Dunn sued
the company for $4,000 damages. The
case was tried before Judge Simons, and
the jury gave the plaintiff the full amount
asked for. This was the largest amount
ever given in the United States in case OF
the kind. Judge Simons held that the
damages were excessive, and reduced them
to s25, 900. The case was carried to the
supreme court on two points. First, it
was claimed that the case should be tried
in the United States circuit court as the
defendant was not a citizen OF the state,
and also that new trial should be grant
ed on the grounds OF excessive damages.
The court decided against the company on
both appeals. Judge Berry and Wander
burgh, in their dissent, held that the case
should be tried in the United States cir
cult court.

he President Reprimanding Army Om-

Washington Special: The president has
made an Endorsement upon the proceedings
OF a recent court martial that will attract
attention in the army. Capt. Smith of the
Nineteenth infantry, forwarded complaint
OF unjust treatment to the secretary ofwar
direct, without sending it through the head
quarters OF his commanding officer, against
whom he entered the complaint. For this
he was tried and sentenced to be dismissed
by a court OF which Col. A. C. Brockett, of
the Third cavalry, was president. After
examining the record, President Cleveland
Endorsed it as follows:
Executive Mansion, March 9, 1SS6.-The
sentence awarded Capt. Smith in the fore
going case is RENTED. But the president
deems it to be his duty to notice the breach
OF propriety and military discipline on the
part OF Capt. Smith, and to reprimand him
for his misconduct in forwarding directly
to the war department the papers OF re-
monstrance. His reasons for so doing are
insufficient, and the suspicious upon which
he acted had no foundation in fact. On
careful examination OF the proceedings the
president is forced to the conclusion that
the most prominent fact in this case
is sad exhibition of official i'm
propriety on the part OF the judge advo
cate OF the court, whose disregard OF the
duties OF his important Office led him to
appear III UHe several characters OF COM
plainant, prosecutor, witness and adviser
OF the court. 1t appears in The evidence
that from the beginning of the former trial
to the conclusion OF the present trial feel
ing OF bitter hostility existed between the
Judge advocate and the accused, which
fact is made the more prominent by
the voluntary admission of the Judge
advocate that he himself preferred
the gravest charge in the specifca-
tions, the only one imputing direct false
hood against the accused. The Judge adj
vocate was manifestly disqualified and IN
capable OF properly discharging his duties
which he took in the conviction OF the ac-
cused. For this reason he should have re-
quested relief from duty which he could
not perform in justice to himself, the ac-
cused and the service
