coLoNEC eIercHER.s CASE.

He II Sentenced BY COurtrMaFtin1 60 BE
Cashiersd-The Sentence Disapproved
BY the General Of the Afny-A Case Of
Prejudice.
I WASHINGTON, Sept 14-soms time ago
. court-martisi was held Ut Fort Omaha
Neb., that attracted q great deal Of stten.
ton throughout the country. J. b
Fletcher, q Lieutenant Colonel Of the Sec
ond infantry, was accused Of conduct I'm.
becoming an officer and . gentleman
technically, and in the ordinary language
conduct unbecoming . soldier. His ac-
cusers were the officers Of the post ut Fort
Omaha and the principal witnesses against
him were his wife and sister-in-law. The
case of this officer has become q matter OF
National importance throughout the couu-
try, especially in military circles. and not
only military men, but civilians are in
terested in it. The case can not be decided
for at least ten days more. The court
martial that tried Colonel Fletcher found
him guilty of the charges alleged against
him and sentenced him to be cashiered
from the army. 1t is believed throughout
the United States. both in military and
civil circles. that the officers at Omaha
were prejudiced against Colonel Fletcher,
and that the women in the case, who are
his wife and his sister-in-law, were or
ganized to destroy him. The proceedings
in the court-martial came on to Washing
ton in due time and were referred to
the Judge Advocate.Generars bureau
in the War Department. The whole
case was looked into carefully
and the Judge Advocate General decided
to knock out the report and findings Of the
court-martiaL From the Judge-Advo-
Gates office it went to the General of the
army. who is at present John NJ. Schofield.
Schofield looked into the case very
thoroughly and concluded to agree to the
Is
Office. From the General of the army. ac-
cording to the red tape management of the
War Department the report should go to
the Secretary of War. 1t happens now
that the General of the army is acting
Secretary of War and he did not care
to act in a double capacity in a
case of such Importance in mil itary
circles as that of Colonel Fletcher.
In other words, he did not care to
approve as Secretary of War what he
approved of as 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 army and
from all accounts it will be repudiated
within q few days by the Secretary of
War and by the President of the United
States q few days later. Fletcher was
done up by the court-martial, but the
thinking men of the army here have saved
him

A MILLIONAIRE KILLED.

An Old Man Seeks Revenge BY Shooting
the Man He Claimed Had Ruined Him.
NEw York Sept IF. w. Gesswein,
the millionaire importer and manufact-
urer of jewelers. tools and supplies, at 8e
John street, this city, was shot and killed
by Christian Deyhle yesterday morning
about 10:45 O'Clock in his private Office,
the result Of a business quarrel over a re-
fiector 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 on
John street, but after his defeat in the
courts he discontinued his visits and
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 Gesswein 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, Gesswein en-
tered the store Deyhle gave nod of rec
ognition, arose and approaching him,
said that he came on private business and
was invited into the Office upstairs on the
second floor, where they were alone with
the door closed
After having been closeted for some
time a shot was 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-nine. Deyhle said he shot Gesswien
because the latter had robbed and ruined
him. He had no regrets as he was an old
man and had no money to go into business
or to secure admission into the home for
the aged He was taken to the Tombs.
Inquiry among jewellers shows that there
is a general belief that Gesswein had
wronged Dsyhle and had practically
robbed him of his invention. Gesswein at
first bought quite large quantities OF
Deyhle's reflector. but finally ceased to
patronize him- Deyhle made inquiries
and became satisfied that Gesswein was
making the rehsctors himself, an in
fringement suit failed on technical
grounds and Deyhle was unable to carry
the proceedings further.
