(= WEIGHING THE TESTIMONY, McClclland and His Comrades on Their Examination, Burns Released=Gardner ana 0'Con Held . Liarce ner for Grand In the police court yesterday afternoon Gardner and O'Connor, the men charged with the larceny of §110 from the money drawer in the store of George F , grocer at 304 north Sixteenth strec the night of December 4, were brought bofore this tribunal on their preliminary examination. A twenty-dollar rnote found on the pereon of Gardner after his arrest was Identified by Munro's indy clerk as having been stolen from the drawer of her employer. They were both held in the sum of £300 each, and in de- fault of bail wero remanded to jail. The examination of John McOlelland “‘Sandy” Forbes and Frank Burns for the burglary of Duke’'s hardware storo on Douglas street, continued Mon- day last, was then taken up. Mr. Duke was the firat witness oalled. Witness’ store was bnrglarized on the night of October 21st. He left the store at 104 o'clock, which waa closed by a clerk. He lost 600 knives, some razors and aclssors two spring overcoats, tape lines etc. This property was worth $800. The entrance was made through Munro, , on a back window between his and Connelly’s liquor store. He got his first clue from block watchman Walker. A hackman he learned had taken the parties there, the goods secroted under the Thirteonth stroet sldewalk and afterwards taken away He found a knife of hison McClelland’s person inSioux Olty. He firstsaw McClell- and when he got on the train at Missouri Valley, In Iowa, shortly before he was arrested. He went to Sioux City for the purpose of hunting up some of his prop- erty and was after McClelland, Foley and McClelland were taken into custody by order of the train conductor for the larceny of a couple of valises, but wers afterwards turn d over to Douglas county anthorities for this burglary. Lon George was next called. Witness saw John McClelland the night of the burglary, with a third party who was not Lew Foley. McClelland came to him that night and asked witness to take him home. He drove McClelland down Douglas and then to his home on Eley- enth and Harney. Lottie Coombs was the next witness. She knew McClelland, Carroll, Foley and Forbs. Remembered the night of the burglary and was living at that time at 411 South Eleventh. That night she was at home and McClelland returned at 11 o'clock. She saw him that evening with Forbes {and Carroll later le returned with Carroll through the window. McClel- land told her when he came home that night that if there was any trouble she ehould testify that he came at 11 o’clock, went out for oysters and returned at half- past one. She did not see any goods that night, but next morning the “ofticers came down and searched the house. Her empty trunk was taken out over the back fence by McClelland and was shipped over the road contalning Duke’s goods. The trunk came back to her in four or fivo days with a hanging lamp in it for her. The day after tho trunk was shipped away Carroll lett town, and the day after McClelland followed him. She was given a knife, scissors and button hook, but they were stolen from her in Sioux Oity. The tcunk was taken from her by McClelland and taken to Mrs. Perney's, picked there and shipped away. McClelland pever told her he robbed Duke’s store, but when the officers came the next morning after the burglary he told her he had gone through a hardware store the night before. She was not told where the gouds were shipped, as they were sent out of town by Mrs. Perney, This concluded her examination in chief. The defendant’sattorney decided not to cross examine her. The case then went over until this morning at 10:30. As there was no evidence connecting Frank Burns with the robbery, his counsel moved that he be discharged, and it was 80 ordered by the court DESPERATE DEED. A Han Gashes His Body Over With a Razom, And 18 Reieased From Juil Habeas Corpus to Die at Home, on a Tt will be remembered by many in Omuha and egpecially among the business men and controctors that a few years 8go & man came to this city and entered upon the work of contracting, being iden- tified wish the construotion of buildings here and finally ekipping out leaving sundry architecte, lumber men and store keepers to mourn his loss. He was heard from at one time and another, now north, now south, shifting around and generally making himself known through some racket. The last heard from him he was in St. Joe and it is believed by many that the following ls the same man who did Omaha up: On Wednesday night last qnite a fu- rore was created in the county jail, at St. Joe, by one of the inmates, who has been acting as a nurse for W. F. Winscott, the invalid prisoner incarcerated on the dou- ble charge of bigamy and forgery, yell- ing out at the top of his voice, *‘Come qulck! Winscott has got a razor and is cutting himself all to pieces.” The deputy sheriffs and turnkeye, who slept in the jail building, lost no time in entering the jail, at the same time send- ing a messenger for the county physi- cian, Winscott was found lying on his cot, groaning terribly, with & number of slashes on his left side, and the blood flowing profasely from his wounds. The razor was removed from beyond the would-be-suicide’s reach, but nothing was done, nor could be done until the doctor arrived, when a critical examination was made of the wounds, five in number, long ®ad ghastly looking but not deep. Winscott has been au invalid ever tince he has been in jail, and will probably not live to bu tried for his crimes, cf which there is ample evidence of hie guilt. A constant watch has been kept over him for months for fear that he would kili himself. On Satorday the prisoner was taken from jail on & writ of habeas corpue, be- fora Judge Grubb, when evidence was heard to the effsot that the prisoner could mot live many days at best, and that his hours of existence would be shortened by his retention in jail. In view of this state of affairs tho judge ordered that the invalid prisoner be removed to the city hcapital and the officers were in the act of ocarrying out thelr instructione, when County Attorney Ryan heard of the matter and had two additional caplases fssued against Win- scott on indictments heretotore found charging him with forgery. Theso o piases were issuod after Winscott had been taken out of the ja] but before he had been placed in carriage to bo con veyed to the hospital, so he was carried into the connty recorder’s office where ho remained until b o'clock, when Judge Grubb was again called upon, and who took immediate action by fixir the bond of defendant at 8500 in the bigamy case and 8300 in oach of the forgery cases, B. C. Eddy was accepted as bondsmah and Winscott's No. 1 took her poor emanciatod husband to her homo on Fourth street, to dle. . e STRANGE SASTROM, Some Unknown Oause, Angstrom Sastrom is the euphonious name of a former Wahoo merchant who was ruined by the hailstorms that swept over Saunders county in the last three or four years, Upon his financial downfall Sastrom came to Omaha, where he hag siene been employed as clerk in the New York store. Mr, Sastrom was marrled to a young Bohemian girl and 1t is said their family relations were not as pleasant as could be desirea. Some ten days or two weeks ago they had a little difficulty but the cloud was dissipated and the trouble for} gotten, On Monday last Mr. Sastrom asked Lils employer if he might absent himself from the store for a short time, and his request being granted he went out. Ho did not return, however, that day nor did he appear at the store yes- terday morning. Upon_looking over his mail yesterday, Mr. Lohman, his em- ployer, found a card from him telling him that & moneyorder would come in a short time addrossed to him (Sastrom) and ask- ing Mr. Lehman to draw it and pay a bill he owed. His wife yesterday also re- ceived a letter from him, whose only words were, “Good bye. 1 am going to leave you.” Upon going to tho Savings bank where he did his business, it was learned that he had drawn out hismoney, about §80 in all. He has net beon seen in the city by anyone since his disappearance from the store, and his whereabouts is only a mat- ter of conjecture, His wife, however, thinks he has gone to Saunders county, where he has a brother living, and she started for Wahoo yesterday, The cause of his departure js also a matter of sur- mise, but it is thought by some {hat he must have had other domestic troubles than those above mentioned, which led him to lesve the city. Sarstrom’s family resided at Eleventh and Howard, where they rented their house to roomers. ——— PERBSONAL, J.N. Starr, C.

They were not driven away by the cold, as persons who knew their habits might have supposed. It was a stronger agoncy which carried them away from the corner of Fifth avenue toa large room in the third story of a building not far awa; They began to drift to ward that place as early as 8 o'clock, and few left there before b, It was a meet, in| and no outsiders wera sdmitted Manager Williams and Chief Operators Mar® kel and Prescott were not there either, from which it will be readily understood that the meeting was not composed of the members of the benefi society organmized in this city since the strike, Just who were there the re- porters could not learn, 1t is the intention to keep the fact of the meeting a dead secrc 1t is known, however, that all present we men who figured more or less prowmine the first groat battle.

The invari- auswer that the reporters ro- dto their requests for information was t the publ no interest in the mesting, and it was not important that even the fact of the meeting being held should be mentioned, There is not tne slightest doubt that the meet- was the first step in the direction of the formation of an _organization, the alleged ne- cousity for which was_outlined in the state- ments published on Saturday, or was in pur- suance of steps that have alrendy been, taken An old operator, who would not say a word about the meeting or its object, said that while he did not think there would be an- other strike of the telegraphers in the near di any, can able future, he was certain that within three months a compact organization for tho pro tection of their interests would be perfected.

A Lucia Statement of the Power of the President to RRe Ofticeholdera. Judge Richard H. Stanton, an accom- plished lawyer and politician, says in the Maysville (Ky.) Bulletin: For the benefit of certain federal offi- cora now holding by appointment of the president and confirmation of the senate, 1f they are silly eonugh to believe they cannot be removed until the expiration of the term for which they were ap- pointed, we propose to aisabuse thelr minds of 80 ridiculous an opluion. The (uestion of the power of the president to remove was consilered almost at the be- ginning of the government, and was de- cided in 178) that he had the power to remove without the consent of the senste, When Andrew Johnson became president the northern men then in power proposed to chock and control him by the enactment of a law tylug his hands in regard to the power of removal. This was the tenure of office act, which was nove paesed in 1807 over hus veto. This act provided that every person holding an offico tor which he had been confirmed by}the senateshonld hold it until his suc- cessor should be appointed in liko man- ner, unless he should be suspended dur- ing the recess of the senate for miscon- duct in ofiico or crime, or bocauso In- capacitatad. 1f the senate on mooting should not concur in the suspension he should resume the functions of his office. Johnson's alleged violation of the law in the removal of Stantion from ths war offica was one of the principal charges on which he wasattempted to be impenched. Gen. Grant, when he hecame presidont did not fancy the restraints that this law placed upon his right of removal, and #oon after his inauguration the act was so modified as to provide that presidential appointeos might be suspended at the ploasure of the president during the rocums of the senate, and if the senate during the next session should refuse to confirm the person appointed in the place of any suspended oflicer, the president might nominate another. Under the act passed durlng President Johnson's term, if the senate,did not confiem the new nomlnation, the suspended officer resnm: ed the functions of his office. Not so, however, under the modificd a-t, for the new renomination does not in any way benefit the suspendod oflicer, 1t merely requires the president to nomin- avo another and may koop on doing 80 until a nomination acceptible to the senate is made. Under a case of this kind, decided in the court of claims under this law, it was held that the president had the most undoubted right to suspend an officer during the recess of the senate, “‘with or without cause.” The clalmant, sald the court, may have been the best postmsster ever known, without the absolute right of the president to suspend him being at all diminished, or he may have been the worst ever known without that right belog an atom strengthened. This settles the question as to Mr. Oleveland’s right to suspend a federal oflicer of his own will and appoint his successor, and any federal officer whose appointment s from the president s stmply an idlot or a fool if he supposes he can hold on to his office agalust the will of the president, —— Oan the 1hth of next October will te observed the two hundredth anniverssry f the revocation by Louis NIV of the Edict of Nantes.
