SOME ONE HAS BLUNDERED
A Peculiar State of Things in the
Barclay Case.

From the action taken by the district
attorney yesterday in the Barclay case,
it would appear that there has been a
blunder somewhere.
Barclay was arrested some time ago
on charge of false pretenses, the com
planning witness alleging that he was
induced to loan money to Barclay upon
certain representations which were al
legged to be false, and after several con-
tinuances had been granted in the case,
Justice Stanton began the preliminary
examination of the defendant Saturday
morning. When court adjourned it was
understood that the hearing would be
resumed yesterday.
AT 10'o'clock yesterday morning, how
ever, District Attorney McLachlan ap-
peared in court and moved that the case
be dismissed for the reason that the
grand jury had thoroughly investigated
the case. Upon this statement the court
discharged the defendant and exonor-
! ated his bondsmen. The attorneys in
the case were greatly surprised at the
action taken by the district attorney,
and it is generally regarded as very
strange that the prosecuting officer was
not acquainted with the status of the
case when the examination was begun.
A HERALD reporter sought to learn
yesterday afternoon whether the grand
Jury has investigated the case and
dropped it or has just taken up the in
quiry, but did not succeed in obtaining
any authoritative. information.

A LIFE OF CRIME.
THE EXPLOITS OF CUSICK, THE
ESCAPED BURGLAR.
He Killed Man at the Age of 13 and g
Few Years Later Held UP Stage
Taken Back to Flagstaff.

Sheriff Francis of Flagstaff, who came
here Saturday night to take away Gu
sick, the desperate and freight burglar,
left yesterday afternoon with his pris-
oner for Arizona. Cusick had agreed on
Sunday to return to Flagstaff without a
requisition.
The Arizona sheriff declared that many
of Cusick's yarns were fairy tales, and
it seems that, although the prisoner
is certainly bad man, who
has committed a number of crimes
known and unknown, he has exagger-
ated the circumstances of his late escape
from Flagstaff. The story of his holding
up the sheriff and posse, of killing an
Indian and securing his horse, and his
own account of his escape from prison
have been denounced as fabrications.
Yet Cusick's history is one which has
not been thoroughly ventilated. 1t has
been shown within the last few days
that his record is one of the vilest of
his ilk who has gone unpunished in this
country. Cusick. when 13 years of age,
was an inmate Of his mothers sporting
saloon in Omaha, Neb., then frontier
town. Even at that early age, he helped
kill man in the vile den in which he
was raised, and he was sent to reform
school for two years.
The reform which he absorbed does
not seem to have gone very deeply into
his system, for in 1876 he was one of a
party of desperadoes who robbed United
States mail coach between Sidney, Ne
braska, and the Black hills. At that
time the Wells Fargo messenger, man
named Campbell, was killed by the road
agents, of whom Cusick was member.
The whole gang was caught, and Cusick's
companions were sent to the peniten-
tiary for life. He himself, on account OF
his youth, got off with ten years. SEN
tence. This he served, and when he was
released he followed the instincts which
had been instilled into him from early
youth. What he did until his freight
train robberies became the talk of the
western country is not known, but prob
ably some of the most notorious crimes
of which the perpetrators have not been
discovered may be attributed to him.

A Missing Deputy County Clerk Heard
from Yesterday.

For some three weeks pastJ. j. O'Neill,
who has been one of the deputies in the
county clerks office, has not been visible
to his friends. Various surmises have
been offered as to the reasons for his
disappearance, but nothing has been
definitely known on the subject, until
word was received yesterday that he
had been heard from, and that his pres
ent address was New Orleans.
A HERALD reporter called to see
County Clerk Ward on the subject,
yesterday afternoon, and that gentle
man snid: eyes, O'Neill, has been
gone for the past three weeks. He was
an excellent clerk, and his accounts
were perfectly straight. No one knew
that he intended leaving, and there
was good deal of anxiety as to his
whereabouts until today, when we
learned that he was in New Orleans.
I understand that he left here on ac-
count of personal reasons"
From other sources it was learned
that Mr.. O'Neill had left a few personal
debts, and that it was on account OF
some family differences that he had
decided to locate in New Orleans.
