THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TIURSDAY, COLONEL FLETCHER'S . FATE. 1t Depends Upon the Sealed Verdiot of the Court Martial. CLOSE OF THE GREAT TRIAL® General Impression That the Defend- ant has Boen Found Not Gullty as to the Graver Oharges. Notes. Fletcher's Fate. At the assembling of the Fletcher court- wartial yesterday morning the record of Taesday was read and approved. Oaptain Porter, the judge advocate, made short speech, closing for the prosecution. The court room was then ordered cleared at 11:80 o'clook, and the court went into con- sideration of the charges. At 12:45 the doors were reopened ana it was announced that a verdict had been reached. The import of it, however, could no be ascertained. ‘The defendant and counsel felt satisfied, because of the short time required to arrive At a conclusion, that the verdict was favora- ble to the accused. If .the charies were sus- tained in any manner, they would be those in the main of minor importance, Speculation was pretty generally indulged among the members of the garrison as to what would be the outcome of the trial Sowe held that Colonel Fletcher would be dismissed the service, Others that he would be honorably discharged. Others, still, held that he would be found guilty on some of the lighter charges and perhaps temporarily re- lieved of duty, which they said would virtu- ally amount to a leave of absence. t is understood that Dr. Frank L. Hen- derson, the gentloman who attacked Colonel Fletcher, has applied for the cancellation of his contract. The gentleman 18 a young physician and is known now as the acting assistant surgeon of the fort, having been ordered there a few days ago, from the rifle range at Belleyue, where he was succeeded by Acting Assistant Surgeon Henry S. Has- kin, The cause of this transfer was the subject of some speculation on the part of some of vhe best informed officers of the gar- rison. To them it appeared as if it were the mtention to have the young gentleman as near as possible at hand at the close of the trial, 1n the event of his being needed for any purpose. This hypothesis was based upon the understanding that Dr, Henderson ‘was as amenablo for his attack upon Colonel Fletcber as he would be if he werean en- listed man. Lhe theory, however, scems not to be a tenable one, because many of the best in- formed men in the service hoid that no action in a military court could be brought aguinst the doctor for his assault. What could be done, however, they said, would be to cancal Dr. Henderson'’s contract. The doctor holds this opinion himself, and further has an- nounced that he has asked to have his con- tract canceled. He intends to take a trip to Europe and study for several years, having Tound, he claims, life at the ranges waste of time. ““What can be done with ‘Licutenant ‘Wright, who was present wnon Fletcher was assaulted. Will he be charged as an accessory “Idon’t think he will,” said an officer. ‘It could not be proved that he knew what Henderson’s intent in calling upon the colonel was. Besides, I think the authori- ties are tired of the dirty scandal which has been occasioned and the discredit it has re- flocted upon the service, and will be only too glad to drop it. Wright, anyway, in a couple of duys goes to Leavenworth, where he has ‘been assigned to the school of instruction.” How about Captain Dempsey’s case?"’ be little, if unything, done with him, either.” “‘What has been Mrs. Fletcher's object in rewurning to Omaha. You remember ‘when she left it was stated she would never return to the city? Do you think she will e reconciled to her husband?”’ *1 cannot understand her return it has taken us all by surprise. I cannot believe it ‘was curiosity which prompted her to return. If it was 1sm very sorry. Ican hardly be. lieve either that she intends to return to her husband, Still wecan't tell what the lady may do.” Afier Adjournment. Immediately after adjournment of court yesterday all the members came to town. They rendezvoused at the Paxton. They were joined by 8 number of other officers, and among the latter, particularly, the ver- a(cl 'was the engrossing subject of conversa- on. Dr. Henderson was seen, and, when asked regarding his opinion as to what_the verdict ‘would be, said: *I don't know, Nobody ex- cepl the court and thejudge advocate know. 't think Colonel Fletcher will be ac- quitted. He may got some light punishment —suspension for a time without pay.” en will the verdict be known?" “It depends. If it be a verdict of guilty it may take months before it will be ascer- tained. The verdict will first go to the de- partment commander. If it be an acquittal it will be announced immediately. If not, it will be forwarded to the president.” “Whnat will he do with 1t1" ‘‘He will review the case, and that may take hulf a year. In the meantime, there will be a chance for friends to work to se- curo executive clemency and all that, you know." Lieutenant Wright, whose name figures above, suid thatof course he coutd not_tell ‘what would be the verdict. He knew, how- ever, what he thinks it should ve. It might be a favorable one, and yet the colonel mighu receive the whole of the {mum 3 D Another officer, holding an exalted posi- tlon, in @ consorvative manner said he was not disposed to think lightly of the matter. Some protty strong thiugs had been told by some of the witnesses which he thought could not but have an effect upon the jury. Besides, theyohad not impeached the testi- mony of Miss Miskey. “Yos," said another oficer, *and when & witnesss’s testimony is not impeached, it tends to strengthen the testimony of an im- veached witness who has sworn to the same statement of facts." Captain Ray, acting judge advooate, said: “The entire proveedings in the case, with the verdiot, will first go to the adjutant gen- eral of the department, and from him to the udge advocate of the department for exam. nation as to correctness and iy. ‘I'he Judgo advocate will then ake all the to the commanding general of the depart- ment, Wwho approves or disapproves of the ackion of the conrt. In all cases except dis- the aotion of the de) ent com- mander is final. “All cases of dismussal, if approved by the department commander, go 1o the president. If disapproved by the de- partment commauder, that ends the matter.” ‘As 800n a8 the procoedmgs and finding of the court have been received at department headquarters, the aciing judge advocate Captain P, H, Ray, will examme them an will then proceed to Camp George Crook, near Fort Robinson, and deliver the papers i person to General Brooke, who is witn the troops in the fleld at that point.

Other Evidences of the Subterranean Passages in Our Streets. The recent rains in this city are develop- ing daily the truth of the statement made some days ago by the chairman of the board of public works that the pavement of the streets rests upon catacombs of a most dan- gerous character. On Tenth street, immediately south of Pacific, the pavement fell into a hole nearly fifteen feet long and three feet wide, Av the intersection of Williams street there is another serious break nearly fifteen feet square. This was occusioned by the wash- ing uway of the earth beneath the puvemeot which at this place, is of asphalt, aud the consequent dropping of the surface into the cavity, twelve feet in depth. Where the earth which once filled the hole has gone to is problematical. One theory is that it has been dissolved and thus was carried down the hill. This opinion 18 held to be correct, because of the washing away of the section lower down on the hill referred to. Thisis the second time this spot has been injured. Inthis case, the water, it is beld, must have leaked from a defective pipe connecting the cat in with the sewer. From beneath the latter all the dirt had been washed, as THE UNION DEPOT.

A Remarkable Story Told by an Ohio Physician, CINCINNATI, August 14.—[Special Tele- gram to Tug Bes.|—Dr. J. B, Campbell, of Fairmouat, on July 22 niade a return to the health officer of the death of Jonas Kuntz. The death was to all accounts an ordinary one, and no report was made to the coroner and no special mention of it was made in the newspapers. But from developments since, and from the doctor's own printed statement, death was due to a fall down stairs at the doctor’s vitapathic college in Fairmount at 2 o'clock Sunday morning, July 21. The fall, he states, caused concussion of the brain, from which death resulted twenty-four hours later. In an account furnished to-day to the press, Campbell, after describing the young man’s escape from the nurse while delirious: and his condition after the fall, says: “‘There were no telegraph facihties to his country home in Pennsylvania, or mails that ocould reach his parents as quickly as wo wished. So, on the night when the young man was about to die, I wished to reach his parents with the sad intelligence that their son was dying. 1 sat down in his room in the presence of others as the young man was breathing his last, and passing into a trance state, I became a clairvoyant, aud with & rong desire my sonl left my body and went somwe five thousand miles to Pennsylvania to find his parents. Isoon reached the place, found the house and entered, finding his pa- rents in bed asleep, all unconscious of the condition of their dying child, 1 attempted to arouse them, and did arouse their souls. The parents awoke, saying to cach other, ‘Something is wrong. Jonas is dying or dead.’ *‘Mr. Kuntz, the father, hunted up Rev, B. S. Metzger, and they both came here as fast a8 possible and did not know by other meth- ods that the young man was dead until they arrived here. I returned to my body in time to witness the death scene,” Regular physicians do not recognize Camp- bell’s colleze, but he has seversl hundred students from all sections of the country. Reliable citizens that both Mr. Kuntz and Mr. Metzger assured them they received no communication regaraing the young maa’s death except that received by the boy's parents while they slept. ————— Bonlanger and Confreres Sentenced.
