A MURDER IN THE STREETS OF NEw YoRK
---EscAPE OF rnE MURDERER The New
York Courier Of the 10th inst. has the FOL
lowing account Of a murder iu that city:
About 10 o'clock on Saturday night, an
tunprovoked and didbolical murder was perpe-
trsted in Tenth avenue, near Twenty first
street, by one of gang Of three miscreants,
and unfortunately the murderer and his party
escaped. and thus far have eluded the police:
1t appears that John Swenson and his wife
Margaret, who resided at No. $40 West
Twenty-sevepth street, were returning home
from market at the hour above named, and
while passing through Tenth avenue, near
Twenty FIRST street, were conversing together,
when the gang referred to made their appear
ance, aud one Of them, pretending that he
thought Swenson's remarks we're intended
for him, asked him what he was saying. Mr..
Sweuson replied that he had not spoken to
him. The fellow then struck Mr.. Swenson,
usd Knocked him into the gutter. Mr.. Sven
son arose ard started towards his assaiant,
but before reaching him, the ruffan, who was
about Is years Of age, turned and plunged
the blade of q dirk into his breast Mr..
Swenson fell mortally wounded, and died
few moments afterwards. AS soon as the
fatal wound was inflicted, the three rufliaus
fed, aud taking different directions, were
soon out Of sight. A lad, named David
Scott, residing ut No. 1877 West Twentieth
street, was the only person, except those
above named, who saw the blow struck. DIR.
Robt. Rae. Of lG9 Fourth avenue, saw the
rullians running away, aud heard Mrs. Sven
son crying murder. The policeman on duty
in the Deigbborhood was away, he having
gone to the station house with prisoner
The circumstance was, however, soon made
known ut the Sixteenth Ward station house,
aud Inspector Carpenter despatched several
men to convey the body Of deceased to his
late residence, and to search for the MUIR
derers.
