A Shocking and Deliberate Murder
at Fort Hamilton.
A LAXITY or REGULATIONS
The Loose Administration of Military
. Rules Indirectly Responsible for the
Tragedy—The Jurisdiction and
Death Penalty in the Case.
NEW YORK, May 27.—News was received
from Fort Hamilton Tuesday morning of
the death of Private John McLean, of Bat-
tery I, Fourth United States artillery, who
was shot by a comrade, Private Henderson
Nelson, of Battery A, Sunday night. Nel-
son is now locked up in a. cell in the Fort
Hamilton guard house. He is now a. mur-
derer, and the disposition of his case will
furnish a. very interesting illustration of
the distinctions of federal and state juris-
diction in criminal prosecutions.
The murder of McLean, which took
place on the water battery ofihe fort, was
done by a United States soldier; the vic-
tim was a United States soldier; the shoot-
ing was done on soil included in the
United States military reservation. There-
fore the whole proceeding was out Of the
jurisdiction of the state of New York, and
the New York authorities have no power
to deal with the offender.
The Death Question.
It is probable that an indictment will
be found by the United States grand jury;
that Nelson will then be discharged from
the service of the United States army
and surrendered to the custody of the
United States marshal; he will then be
tried in the United States court, con~
demned to death by a United States judge
and hanged by the United States marshal.
The electrical execution law does not
run in territory under the jurisdiction of
the federal authorities. The only mode of
inflicting the death penalty known to the
United States law is by hanging, or, under
martial law, by shooting. There will
therefore probably be another hanging on
Long Island.
A Deliberate llIurder.
Nelson’s shooting of McLean appears to
have been deliberate and premeditated.
The affair was the sequel to a quarrel over
a game Of chance, and indirectly a result
of lax administration Of military regula-
tions at Fort Hamilton.
Sunday afternoon several soldiers from
the fort congregated at N apicr’s Seaside
hotel drinking beer, playing pool and
gambling by means of an automatic
nickel-in—the-slot horse racing apparatus.
Nelson and another soldier, who wore
civilian’s dress and whose. name has not
been divulged, bet quite heavily on the
workings of this machine, and finally N e1.
son had won $20 from his opponent.
I Died in Great Agony.
At this point McLean, who was on the
sick list. but had evaded the hospital stew-
ard, came into the place. He accused Nel-
son Of cheating and forced him to give up
a portion Of his winnings. Nelson did this
with bad grace and made threats.
Nelson returned to the fort, got his mus-
ket and loaded it with a 45 caliber cart-
ridge. McLean had also returned to the
fort and was standing on the water bat-
tery escarpment talking with a soldier
named Earl, when Nelson approached,
and placing the muzzle of his musket
against McLean’s abdomen, fired.
McLean’s wound was a terrible one. His
intestines were torn and the kidneys were
punctured. He died in great agony during
Monday night. Nelson made no resist-
ance to arrest, and was locked up in a cell
in the guard house. -
A Famous Athlete Dead.
BOSTON, May 27.—Thomas F. Drohan,
the well known athlete, died of consump-
tion in Dorchester esterday, aged thirty-
five. When but fi teen years of age he
won the amateur velocipede championship
of New England. At the age of twenty
two he won the club swinging champion-
ship of America. Subsequently he trav-
eled with a. theatrical company through
the country, giving club exrribitions with
one of his younger brothers. He won re-
nown as a. teacher of boxing, and was
known as one of the cleverest exhibition
sparrers in the country, traveling a. good
deal with Billy Edwards and Professor Tim
McCarthy. He organized and was presi-
dent Of the South Boston Cribb club, a
once flourishing organization, and the Par-
nell Athletic club, which has since been
succeeded by the Ajax club.
A Plucky Girl Who Could Use Her Fists.
MEMPHIS, May 27.—Miss Mary Fogle—
man, a. boarding pupil at the Conway in-
stitute, was awakened by a noise in her
room. She sprang out of bed and lit the
gas. 'At the same moment a burly colored
fellow sprang upon her, gripped both her
wrists, and ordered her to keep quiet or
he would kill her. The girl struggled
frantically and managed to release her
right arm. Instantly she struck the fel-
low in the face, and gave him another
with all her force. She then aroused the
whole house with her screams. He re-
leased her, sprang out through a window,
taking the sash with him. Of course, as
soon as all danger was past, Miss Fogle-
man became utterly prostrated.
'Clamoring for Bismarck.
BERLIN, May 27.——A number of petitions
have been sent to the kaiser praying him
to effect a reconciliation with Bismarck.
The petitions come chiefly from manufact-
uring districts, for Bismarck is especially
popular on account of his policy of protec-
tion. The kaiser is said to be deeply hurt
by the tone and method of these docu-
ments, and considers their contents some-
thing in the nature of a. deprecation of his
own authority. He. has turned over no
less than five Of them to the prosecuting
officers. Some of these petitions are in
poetry.
A Prize Fight That IIIay Prove Fatal.
LYNN, Mass, May 27.—Ja.mes Burns, II
local prize fighter, lies in the hospital at
the point of death. Harry Tracy, of Cam-
bridge, knocked him out on Monday even-
ing in eight rounds, in the rooms of the
Lynn Athletic club. The blow that
knocked him out ruptured a. blood vessel
in his brain, and he has since been in an
unconscious condition. The physicians
entertain but little hope of his recovery.
Two Boys Drowned.
MAYSVILLE, Ky., May 27,—George Ennis
and Caleb VValdron, agedjabout fifteen, oi
‘Aberdecn, were drowned in the Ohio yes-
terday afternoon. They were boating,
when the skiff was swamped by waves
from the ferryboat Gretna Green. Ennis’
body was recovered.
