COLONEL FLETCHER'S CASE.

He In Sentenced By CO~urt-Nartia 9" re
C~ash'r-ed-Th~ sentence D~'~aPPr"vrd
by the General Of the Army-A Case OF
Prejudice.
WASHINGTON, Sept H-Some m aco'
q cOurt.martia was held at Fert Omaha,
Neh., that attracted a great deal of at'en-
ton throughout the country. j. y
Fletcher. a Lieutenant-C Colonel OF tn" c.
ond infantry. was accused OF conduct Az
becoming an officer and a genfie:na1
technically, and in the ordinary language
conduct unbecomins a so dler. His ac-
cusers were the officers Of the post at Fort
Omaha and the principal witnesses against
him were his wife and sister-in-law. The
case Of this officer has become n matter IF
National importance throughout the cCur-
try, especially in military circles, and not
only military men, Tut civilians arc III
terested in it. The case can rot be Decided
for at least ten days more. The G rrt-
martial that tried Colonel Fletcaer f und
him guilty Of the charges alleged against
him and sentenced him to be ctshieIcl
from the army. 1t is believed ,~hroughou1
the United States. both in military aud
civil circles. that the officers "A. Omaha
were prejudiced against Colonel Fletcher
and that the women in the case. who are
HIS lie anu DIS SlStcT .IusidW. were" Il
gained TO destroy him. The proceed nGs
in the court-martial came on to Washing
ton in duo time and were referred ro-
the Judge Acknowledgement bureau
in the Wal Department. The whoe
case was looked into carefully
and the Judge Advocate-G neral decided
to knock out the report and find nss of the
court-martiaL From the Judge-Advo-
GATES office it went to the General of The
army. who is at present John NJ. Schofieli-
Schofield looked into the case very
thoroughly and concluded to agree to the
finding. OF the Judge Acknowledgements
office. From the General Of the army. ac-
cording to the red tape management of tho
War Department the report should so
the Secretary Of War. 1t happens now
that the General Of the army is acting as
Secretary of War and he did not care
to act in a double capacity In a
case of such Importance in military
circles as that OF Colonel fle chr.
In other words, he did not care to
approve as Secretary Of War what lie
approved Of rs General Of the Army. But
there is no doubt that Colonel Fletcher
will prevail over his enemies. The COURT
martial at Omaha found him guilty and
sentenced HIM to dismissal from the army.
That sentence has been repudiated by the
Judge Advocates office; it has been re-
pudiated by the General OF the armv enl
from all accounts it will b. repu:ia;ed
within o few laws BY the Secretary OF
War and by the President of the United
States a few days later. Fletcher WAS
done mp by he court-martial. but tho
thinking men OF the army here have saved
him.

John street, this city, WINS shot and killed
by Christian Deyhle yesterday morning
about lO:45 O'Clock in his private .fi -,
the result Of q business quarrel over u re-
fiectcr which Deyhle claimed he had
patented. The two men had been at law
about the patent, and Deyhle had been
beaten in his suit.
Deyhle had been accustomed to call up
on Gesswein frequently at his store OF
John street, but after his defeat in the
courts he discontinued his visits. and
nothing had been seen Of him for the past
six months until nine O'Clock yesterday
morning, when he walked into Gesswein's
store on the ground floor and inquired for
the proprietor. He was informed by one
of the clerks that G-sswein had not ar
rived. but was expected shortly, and took
q chair. remarking that he would wait for
him. Nothing unusual was noticed about
his manner
When, half an hour later, Gesswe;n en-
tered the store Deyh bic gave a nod Of REG
ognition, arose and approaching him.
said that he came on private business and
was invited into the offics upstairs on the
second floor. where they were alone with
the door closed
After having been closeted fer some
time q hot vas heard, and when several
clerks rushed into the room they found
Deyhle standing with a smoking pistol in
his hand and Gesswien sinking on q
lounge. He died without saying a word.
He was fOrty-One years old and Deyhle
sixty-nins. Deyhle said he shot Gesswien
because the latter had robbsd and ruined
him. He had no regrets Is he was an OLD
man and had no money to gointO business
or to secure admission into the home for
the aged. He was taken to the Tombs.
Inquiry among jewellers shows that there
il q general be.isf that Gesswein had
wronged D,yhle and had practically
robbed him Of his invention. Gesswein at
first bought quite large quantities Of
Deyhle's reflector. but finally ceased to
patronizs him. Deyhle made inquiries
and became satisfied that Gesswein was
making the reflsctors himself, an in
fringement suit failed On technical
grounds and Deyhie was unable to carry
the proceedings further.
