WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 2.-Senator ..
PETER has been requested to have re-
moved the charge of desertion from
the record of Observation-Disclosures Lin

day that it could only be accomplished
by special act of Congress, but that the
charge could not affect Mr.. Llnton's
status as an elector, as it never had
been tried by either court-martial or
in the civil courts. An investigation
of the record, he said, showed Mr.,
Linton left the army near the close of
the war, after serving through several

covered, it was found that the gas was
againg flowing with almost full force.
The conclusion is reached, therefore,
that after his sister-in-law lift him for
the night he deliberately turned the
gas on again, but finding death too
slow by that means, opened the win
dow and plunged headlong to the pave
ment below.
No writings were found in Mr.. Nc
Cullagh's room explaining his act or
leaving instructions for the arrange
ment of his affairs after death.
Mr.. McCullagh's illness came on him
shortly after the close of the late Re-
publican national convention. 1t took
the form of acute asthma, compli-
Gated with nervous depression When
he passed through the acute stage he
found himself slow in recovery. His
limbs had lost their vigor, his arms
were numb and there were Fremont
tions that the brain had come under
the same shadowy spell. He would
not admit that he was failing either
physically or mentally, and insisted
on managing his newspaper from his
bedroom. All through the day he sat
in his chair wrapped in blankets, re-
ceived reports from his subordinates
and gave them orders for the conduct
of the paper.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 1.-The inquest
on the body of j. b. McCullagh, editor
of the Globe Democrat, whose remains
were found under his bedroom window
Thursday, began yesterday.
1t developed the startling fact,
through the testimony of Dr. c. II.
Hughes, McCullagh's physician, that
the deceased made what was at the
time believed to be an attempt at sui
eide on December 90 last On that
day, Dr. Hughes testified, he called on
Mr. McCullagh and left with him a
four-ounce bottle containing two
ounces of digitalis, powerful heart
tonic, an overdose of which would
have the effect of paralyzing the ac-
ton of the heart. The same night
Mr. McCullagh took an ounce of the
medicine, enough to have caused
death, but which, owing to the weak
condition of his stomach, was immedi-
ately rejected. When DR.. Hughes
called the next morning he was
greatly alarmed, and asked Mr.. Nc
Cullagh if he had taken that amount.
An evasive answer was given.
DR.. Hughes testified that he was sat
isfied Mr.. McCullagh had not taken
the medicine by mistake. The physi-
clan at once connected the startling
circumstances with a conversation had
with Mr.. McCullagh shortly before, in
which the latter spoke of the death of
Abraham Lincoln, saying that he died
at good time, and that when any
man outlived his usefulness it was time
for him to go.
He also testified as to Mr.. McCul-
lagh's strange and evasive manner on
the day preceding his death, and con-
cluded his testimony with the positive
statement that his impression was that
the case was one of suicide.
