ATTEMPT TO PASS COUNTERFEIT MONEY AMI
MURDER Saturday night, about IL o'clock
DR. Devices was summoned from his hotel to his
| office, on the corner Of Broadway and Blocker
street, to prescribe for person who had sum.
| moned him in case of emergency. On inyes.
| tigation, finding his presence unnecessary, he
prescribed for the individual, and was rendered
l in payment $40 note, which, from the fact O.
| the persons possessing several others of the
same denominations, as we'll as his general ap.
| pearance, he believed to be counterfeit.
| The man was a large and powerful person
| but DR.. Devices being determined man, as
sured him he intended to detain him, and tha
| he might as we'll be perfectly quiet till the ar
rival of an officer, designing to send his son FOL
| that purpose. The man attempted to bride thu
Doctor by offering another note, and assured
him he would be very good friend, ETC., ant
attempted to lay his hand on his shoulder. DR.
1 d., however, seeing he would be obliged to us'
powerful measures to detain him, sent servan
privately for his pistols, which, unfortunately
l were in the back office The fellow anticipated
what was coming, seized a heavy pitcher, ant
| Dr. D. gripped him by the throat, not tigh
enough, however, to prevent q frightful cash OF
| the temple, and another of lesser dimensions OF
the forehead Rushing down stairs, DIR. D. re
4 covered himself, and shouted to the servants t
detain him, whereupon returning, he inflicted
another wound upon the top of the head eithel
by the fragment of the pitcher, or come othe
| weapon that could not be found. DR.. D. agaii
| seized the villain, but bleeding very profusely
and partially blinded and fainting, he fell OF
his knee, and the fellow escaped. DIR. D. nov
staggered to the window, and shouted to tn
| watch, who were of course not to be found. A
determined man, however, whose name we can
not unfortunately announce, seized him, ant
l conveyed him to the station house
On Sunday morning Drs. Dixon and Putnam
who were called to attend DR.. Devices, fndinl
him unable to attend at the Police, made tn
necessary dispositions, and Judge Clark attends
personally at DR.. D g office, from which it wa
Judged expedient to remove him. DR.. Devices
clothes were stiff with gore from the frontal an
| temporal arteries, which were both divided.
The villain is now in the Jefferson Marke
Prison, and is determined specimen of tn
counterfeit gang. He gives several aliases, ant
gave two places of residence, and says he worke
in an oil factory, though his hands are as deli
cate as a womans.
A similar attempt was made on DR.. Blois @
| Fourth street but few weeks since at mid
\ night, but was unsuccessful.
Dr. Devices by his determination has doubt
less secured the public from the further prac
tees of q determined villain. New Yor
