LETTER FRoX DrsBANDED VoLuNTEER-The
following communication appears to have been
written under extraordinary excitement, but
requires no apology ut our hands. We cannot
always be expected to endorse the opinions of
our eccentric friend; but his quasi limitations
that the dignity of public justice has been out
ragged, the forms of law disregardcd, and gross
ignorance of the proper mode of conducting the
examination of witnesses exhibited in the in
vestigation in progress before the coroner,
reflect only the feelings of every sensible mind,
after fair review of the facts:
SAINT NIcKALAs HoTrEL, Feb Z, 1867. y
LstislytuTS of the Sunday Times
When eliminated in my letter Of the twelft
of December, that of New York warnt the all
wickedest sitty in chrisendum it was takin
short cut to that oTful diStinckshin, / diddent
shute with my eyes shot, and it seems cum
nifty near plugginth bullseye. IF Iwasagoin
to opin a strology oftiis, or spiritual nockin
shop, emmy sOopertIa:cral predickshinary in
StitoOshin, | sartatnly would hev that letter put
Inter playkeards and sirkilars and slipt under
the dores of all the hyflying iodgin and boardin
hOusen on Manhattin Hand. All scd in a gin
eril way about fast men and wimmin, faShinabul
rcstyourauntS free luv, aborshiniSts, the every,
perjeFy, seducin, and New York justiS, hes ben
slnElarly confirmed by the testimunny consar-
min the late diplorabul tradegy in Bond street.
Whenever the mare or the chefe of perleece
wants ackarate infurmashin, ether regardin the
best or the wust society in these diggins, they
oughter drap note to me at the Saint Nickalas,
bekase | ushilly keep my eyes skinned, and
amt by no means as blind and deefas the effygee
of Justis at IKE Sitty Hall. don't pertend,
howsever, to PURSES emmy legitimit clames to the
konfidence of the orthorities, hevin never dir
ted my fingers with ward pOllyticS, nor encur-
ridged rutfins to skare off decent citysins from
the poles.
The uncommon enterprise Of the daily press,
as well as the smarnesS of the perleece, was sup
prisinly exampefied in the Bond street catarstro-
f.. The boldly of Doctor Burdell was found in
pool of blud atween eight and nine in the
mornin, and Mt three in the AFTERNOON, the evenin
papers and sekind' dishins of the morninj ernils
informed thar reeders that The he'd died OF apper-
plexy, or mebbee bust wun of his vanes and
understood that sartain paper, Janus for allus
gettin the fullest andlates perticlels, stated on
thar 6niteenboard that he he'd committed sue
side in fifteen places As the reporters purfess
to get thar Jacks from the pereece, it is evident
that the saygasity and pcnnytrashin of thatwide-
awake institOoshin, to use the words of tue pock,
is beyant the power of langwidge to describe.
spose ef it hadent a-ben for the Sunday sheets,
the most diabolikil murder that ever cum OFT in
your sitty would hey ben ginerilly torked of up
to Monday mornin, MS one of those onavoidabul
axidents that frekwcntly happen in the best re-
gated fammalies. The conduck of the kur-
riner on the inkwest is konsidabully abuv all
praise. Farce is in order arter tradcgy, and
ennything kalkilatcd to perdooce u broad grin
or horse-larf over the buddy remanes of
mutilated feller-critter, is gratc reefc to emmy
of the friends of the deceNst that may chanst to
be present, and also to the minds of the pubick
when they reed the jokes next day. In the
theayters bleve, they allus hev the murdered
karickters removed from the stage, or, at ieest,
the curtin rung down on the ded bodies, atore
the low comedy begins but this was tradegy in
real life, witch, in coarse, makes difference.
The inveStigashin, so far, hes afforded inkwi-
rim minds no end of infOrmashun on eenamost
everything except the main pints that the law
wants to arrive at but, as the furthest way
round is said to be the necrest way hum, meb-
bee the kurriner thinks it best to hev the case
nocked inter the middle of next week prevyus
to bringing ennything hum to ennybOddy. We
hev he'd an intereStin narrytiv OF the pTiVt life
Of men on the town, and wimmin ditto-or pur-
ty near it-runnin throo brothils, and sloOns,
and setch, and cxtcndin back for seycril years.
Wot the most of it hes to do with the case, it
would pu2zil a Philadelphia lawyer to explane;
but it is rich reeding for fashinabul boarding
skools and pocket-book and papeT-foding estab-
lshments and is as well lSalkilated to teech the
young idee how to shute hellwaTds as any book
that kin be scared up this side of Tolit In view
of its vallY for future reference, mOShin, aud
hope you'll sekind the same, that the entire sto-
ry be publsht in twelve octavy vollums, and
entitled, "a eide for Kurriners; or Hull MUIR
der Case in Nutshell"
1t peers to me that jury of the daily papers
is tryin this case as well as the kurriner, and la
kin testimunny and publishin it in advance of
the rcglar witncss-boX. line not awar that this
is ushilly the coarse in sivilised kuntries and it
strikes me rs bein libaty of the press that
bares rayther hard on the rites Of the prisners
and the privyledges of the court and jury
However, as the kurriner ses that an important
fack reveled to him in privit, is all the same as
ef it was sworn too afore the jury and COUNSEL
and spectators, spose new roofs was inter-
dooced durin my absence in Eurup, and pecpul
ken now be tribe in and out of court ut the same
time.
Hopin that the kumprebensiv enkwiries of the
kurriner will cum to the rite fokus at last, and
that when the furrin missionaries hes brort all
Ccntri Afrikco into the gospel fold, they will
turn thar blessed attcnshins to the garrotters
and assnssinators and consPirytors, and other
inside barbarians of this priyyledged christian
land, / RENAME, (ontil my throte's cut,) yours,
allus, ~ DIsBANDED VOLUNTEER.
