AI43AItSINATI4,N IN NEW YORK.
American papers record a shocking murder committed
on Juni 111th, in New York, and the attempted assassina-
tion of • Pnitce officer by the murderer. Two men, named
"Marx" Gill and Mortimer Sullivan, were drinking
together in a saloon in Murray-street, when they com-
menced a dispute about a yacht race, in the course of
which Gill struck Sullivan on the face. The latter, how.
ever, took no notice of the insult beyond remarking that
he did not want to strike a boy. Gill then left the saloon,
but returned shortly afterwards and displayed a small re.
volver, which he to ik from his vest pocket. Ile then
commenced playing dice with Sullivan, and on the latter
calling him a COWarli liccause ho would not go on playing,
Gill suddenly drew out the IMAM and shot him through
the head. killing the unfortunate man at once. Gill at
once made off, but he was followed by a large number of
persons, who pointed him out to a mounted police-officer
named Charles Shehlon. The latter at once dismounted
and went up to the murderer, who turned on him, and
prniented his revolver at the officer's breast. One if the
charges of the weapon had, however, previously gone
accidentally through the ruffian's own hand, and he was
therefore unable to cock the pistol; and Sheldon, alter a
sharp struggle, succeeded in overpowering the man, who
was eventually consigned, to the Tombs, to await his
trial. When first received in the proon Gill was very
violent, and wax only quieted by means of • strait-waists
mot. He is a well.known, ilangemus desperado. while
his victim war generally regarded as a ropectable and
Pim:cable man.
