THE liOKO STREET MYSTERY.
MUB. CUNNINGHAM AJIKKSTKD.
STHAIStik rusrr.ost'ttr?.
from the .V. York papers, 4/A in el.
Another startling chapter iu the celebra
ted murder case of Dr. Ilutvy llurdell has
just heen brought to light.
In order that in the case a s
; tlipji are Said to ready exist, may be fairly
set ferip, we gQ back lts,flie time when Mrs.
CuoDtaglpmi ill 4bc Tombs, and previ
ous to her trjai ibr tlr murder of Dr. liur
doll. Fropi the evidence as it at present
appears,it wpuld sccju that while in prison,
Mrs ( Cunumglovpi scntjf.jr David Did, her
family physician, and intimated that sLo was
iu interu|ting situation, and at that time
CxbibueiLevidcnt symptoms of being in the j
conuitiou iutiußitcd Ly bet. Shortly after
this interview with Dr. L'hl the trial of Mrs. ,
L'uuniugham came on,and after her acquit- j
'.alalia sent for Dr. Uhi on different oee_.
sious, and wished him to prescribe for her,
and at the same time she, requested that he j
should attend upon btr during her approach
ing Ci.nfinciDOnt.with a child which she said
was Dr. llau vy lJurdell'jS. Dr. Uhl lepiied
owing to tim peculiarity of the case,
it would tioc'll scTocil jthysitians to uiake
tlto dewifqd ekaminatkMi, and be protpiried
to gdl the rcqaisiti? numltcr of doutors and :
pn>ceel with the esniuißotion for the pur
pose of 4acertwining hor true condition.—
For some cause or oilier, Mrs. (Junwiughum
purpesely avoided I>r. Uhl for considerable
time afterwards as if suspecting sho could
nei depend upon Utui in the emergency.—
Ho, however, received a note from her in a
few weeks, and at an interview which fal
lowed, she renewed wisli-great force the im
portance of the examination, and said if
must be made at once. At lier request,'
Dr. Uhl engaged two physicians fo aid him
in the dellcuto matter, but front her move- !
ments, whbH were very mysterious, Dr. Uhl
suspected that something was wrong. Iu
fact his faith in her innocence of the mur
der that he dctcr
' mined In consult with bis counsel, Dr.
j Wheeler. By his advice he, with much
reluctance, went to District Attorney flail,
j about t!ie 10th of July and communicated
: his suspicion?. Mr. IISU told him that it'
! such a tiling was Contemplated by 3lrs.
| Cunningham it was a very serious felony,
and referred the Doctor o that section o:
j the Revised Slates which says:
"Every person who shall fraudently pro
j ducc an infant, falsely pretending it to have
: been born of parents whose child would be
| entitled to a share of any personal estate,
. with the intent of intercepting the inheri
! tance of any such real estate or the distri
bution ot any .such property, from
■ any person lawfully entitled thereto, shall,
upon coavietion, be punished by iiojuison
liiHU in a State Prison not cjceeodhig tea
1 years J',
The result wus that Dr. Chi placed him
self uudor the dircotiuu of the District
Attorney, and continued bis visits to Mrs.
| Cunningham. The DLstiict Attorney ad
vised him to go, and concealing his doubts
I and suspicion?, learu I'rouj Mr.-. Cunningham
! her full views auti arrangements. Upon
mother interview Mrs. C. admitted to hiin
ihat tlie approaching confinement a
I humbug, and offered him SIOOO it he would
| undertake the job of finding a child and
i assistifig at the W hereupon
j Dr. Ulil apparently assented, and returning
| to the District Attorney reported progress.
The District Attorney then laid down
the following plan of action: Dr. Ofil
should concoct a story of a "California
i wriiow" (one of his patients.) who was about
; 10 become a mother, aud who, to conceal
Iter shame, would gladly part with her
child.
This cliilJ was to be taken to Koine place
I till. lilu* street w l.'-'i o Mrs. _ Cunningham
.could procure it. Mr. lLdl being very
buay was also uuiiuus to hurry up the dc
| nouoiueot-
When the Doctor communicated the plan
! id'Mrtf.'fJtjnnftlgham she weprrsaea herself
highly delighted with the arrangement. —
She was to feign all the paius of child-birth,
and the forms usual iu such affairs were to
be gone through.
He alwtoumt it necessary to ibid auotiiei
physician who should lake charge of the
child nud Care for its health, while it was
iu awaiting for Mrs. 0., aud accordingly
scut lor bis most intimate friend and his
own personal physician, Dr. Da La Mou
tagne, of Fiskbill. The Doctor promised to
lend bis aid, and came down to New York
for that purpose.
Dr. Übl and Dr. De la Montagne were
brought together by Mr. Hall at his office,
and, after a consultation, started out to find
fitting apartments for the California widow,
No. 190 Elm street was eventually selected.
1 r. De la Montague being unprovided
with such baggage, Mr. Hall lent him one
of his wife's trunks, marked "K. L. II.,"

Capt. Dilks said to bci that laving heard
that she was confined, be thought it his
duty to come aud see her, and uiakc himself
acquainted with the fact.
While stating this they were standing at
the room door. She ordered the wunian to

| One of the juveniles, though considerably

: for admission to a public school near Dry-
Pock. Ho was shown 10 a seat, and in the
course of the morning the muster resolved
to enter into a little examination ot the
youth's capacities and knowledge, prior to
assigning biui to a class. Calling to the
b'lioy to stand up, ho asked—
'Do you know anything of grammar?'
'I don't know anything else '
'Very -Well, now attend—ln the beginning
God made the world: parse world.'
AH the b'boy knew of grammar was
what lie had beard that very morning from
the different classes reciting around him—
but lie had been taught that when was fight
ing in the dark, he must strike straight out
from the shoulder right and left, and it
would be alt right. 'Parse world!' he
drawled out inquiringly, so as to gam time.
'Yes, In the beginning God uiade the
world—parse world.
