Three weeks ago splendid team OF horses
was stolen from the stable of Jacob Zolli-
Golfer, five miles north of this city. The
thief rode one of the horses and led the
other to Galcna, ILL.,, where they were sold
to ]. c. Underwood of Lena, ILL.,, for $500.
Early this morning Sheriff Phillips entered
the residence of Charles Grutzmacher, at
Washington and Sixteenth streets, and tore
him from the arms OF his newly made bride
on tho charge OF being the thief. Under

sold, was the sheriff, and he r:s-

man. With the money obtained from the
sale of the stolen horses lie got married last
week to pretty German girl and set up
housekeeping. He had the nerve to invite
Zollicoffer, from whom the team was sstolcn,

cepted, and Zollicotfcr and his family made
merry at the marriage of the man who had
robbed them. Grutzmachcr is u barber by

was that they should look one another in

children of the same God, and all living
under the same teachings of religion, reason
and virtue. Because of the simple accident
Of color, it did not follow that they were TO

came from Quebec, Of good ancestry, and
his family was wealthy. He was and is
still q subject of the queen. As soon as he
was imprisoned his mother and two sisters
began the weary work of seeking a
pardon for him. The governor OF
Montana was said to have been
disposed to exercise clemency, but tho
board of pardons of the state refused. The
mother went to Ottawa and there laid her
case before the Canadian premier. He be.
came interested and at length wrote to Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British minister
here, asking him to intcrccdc on behalf of
Rowand. The mother and daughters ar-
rived here some days ago. They saw Sir
Julian and, with tears, laid their casc be-
fore him. He responded and wlotc Sccre-
tary Blaine, asking as an international
courtesy that he use his influence to secure
the pardon. The letter was taken to the
state department by the mother. and in re-

written the board of pardons of Montana,
asking If, as courtesy between nations, a
pardon cannot be granted to young Row.

ened to the evidence of over one hundred
witnesses to-day, the majority OF whom
were negroes, put upon the stand for the
purpose of proving how they voted at the
presidential election. The most important
witness called to-day was Oliver Il. Bentley,
the man whom Clayton suspects of having
killed his brother. Bentley is the deputy
sheriff of Conway county, and claims to
have been in Morrillton on the night that
Clayton was killed at Plummcrville. To
day he handed the committee papers in the
divorce case of Luther vs.. Luther, which he
served on Lydia Luther and others Tues
day, Jan. %, 1888, across the river from Nor
rillton. He returned from across the river
about S o'clock in the afternoon. About
dark that night he served notice on John
Hinkle, the attorney, to take deposition in
the committee and corroboratcd the testi
mony given on this point by Bentley. Wit
ness is prepared to prove that after he left
Hinkle he went to supper, and from there
attended dance. After witness had given
this testimony he was asked il he had any
