The Burdell Case

On Tuesday last the parties who are coz
testing for DR.. BurdelPs property were Assem-.
bled in the Surrogate's Court, New York city,
to have the question settled Mr.. Clinton,
counsel for Mrs. Cunningham, who claims to
have been the wife of the deceased, expressed
MS readiness to bring proof of the marriage.
Mr. Charles Edwards, counsel Tor the blood
relations Of the deceased, renewed bis obiec-
hons to Mrs. Cunningh ANS claims first, that
she was not the wife Of the doctor, and second.
ly, that she had a husband living-supposed
to be Eckel. The case was finally set down
for the ID Of March, when each party will
bring their proof.
Dir. ID. McMurrsy, Jr the employer of
SnodgrasI, publicly states that it can be proved
beyond the possibility of doubt that at tho
very time the dagger is said to have been pur-
chased in Broadway, he (Snodgrass) was in
the store of his employer, some three miles
distant from the cutters establishment.
