New York is great place. Some
time ago the reader will remember
that q DR.. Burdell Of that city was
murdered under such circumstances
as to throw strong suspicion on Mrs.
Cunningham, who pretsnds to have
been his lawful wife. She was tried
and acquitted. She then, as such wife,
set up claim toa portion ofhis estate,
and. on investigation such strong and
corroboratiye testimony was addueed,
that We believe her claim was allowed,
The next we heard on the subject is
that she has been arrested on the
charge of having pretended to give
birth to an heir to the Burdell estate,
! 1t appears THAT she procured-a newly
born infant Of some poor people, and
affirmed that it was her own. There
| is excitement in New York about the
matter. May we not. therefore, Sc,
i. it down 10 large characters, that New
York is u great place? We think we
may do so, enphaticaAy.
