under the utmost excitement, consequent
uponthe scenes Of riotand blood shed enact
cd the night previous, in Williamsburgh,
also, occurred a scene in which bloodshed
resulted, not between characters assimila-
ting to "Dend Rabbits" and such ilk, but
among persons Of the highest responsibility
aad standing in the business community,
as well us the social circles of New York.
The affair grew out of a young man at
tempting to elope with a married woman,
when he was pursued by the husband,
who, IN the heat Of passion, repeatedly
stabbed the young man with bowie knife,
until he was supposed to be MORALLY
wounded. The affair occurred between
three and four o'clock on Sunday morning,
the 25th ult., without any cutlery having
been made, aud there has since been an
attempt to suppress the facts from the Cos
siping world. We give the facts below:
Mr.. A. is a heavy merchant in
New York, and his residence for some
time past been in Williamsburg, in the
arlstocratic portion of the city known as
South Side. His wife is a beautiful and
accomplished woman, belonging TO a
wealthy and highly respectable family in
New York, and was looked upon by her
husband as every thing that could be de-
sired IN n partner for life.
The third person, Mr.. B. young
man doing business in New York, is also
Of high standing. tr
Some three months since the wife and
Mr.. Is. formed an acquaintance in a Broad
way saloon. The two frequently met at
the same place, and finally became ar
denlly attached, and feeling that thew
would be unhappy if separated, the lady
decided to abandon her husband and chill
dren and clope with her lover. Early ON
the morning of the 4th was fixed upon to
consummate their designs and carry their
plans into execution.
The husband had received some intima-
ton of the step his wife was about to take,
and though he could not credit the rumor,
decided to be fully convinced of its truth or
falsity.
on the morning in question, Mrs. A.
iefl the house, and meeting a carriage, she
immediately sprung into it, when the dri-
yer proceeded toward the South Tenth
street ferry.
The husband was now convinced of the
intentions of his wife, and overtaking the
carriage, wrenched open the door, and i'm
medlately commenced an onslaught upon
me young man with u bowie knife, and
did not desist until he had inflicted a dam
gerous wound in the neck, several upon
the arm and one which will render the
arm useles, and also a severe cash across
the stomach. During the melee the young
man discharged his pistol, the ball grazing
his adversary's forehead and causing a
slight wound.
The carriage was turned back to the
house, the young man removed to a room
and the family physician was called in to
dress the wounds.
AT this stage of the affair the two gen.
tlemen recognized each other as intimate
busine friends in New York.
AS the lady remained incog., Mr.. A.
declared that he was not aware Of the re.
latlons existing between Mr.. b. and the
lady, or he would not for the world have
taken this step.
NIT. n. was very sorry for his raShnes
and regretted that he had not allowed hi
wife to leave without molestation.
The physician was of opininion that tn
wound would prove fatal. A consultatio
was deemed advisable, and Prof. Parke
and two other skillful surgeons were ser
for. The consultation took place that eve
ming, and it was decided that there was
chance for his recovery.
The wife was discarded and proceede
At once TO her friends in New York. Dr.
ring the day the father and brother of tn
lady visited A., and after having heard h
version of the affair, did no, blame hi
for the course he had taken. b..
The wife consigned the custody of tn
three children to her husband, after whic
he generously gave her the eldest boy.
The injured man still remains in wi
l~iamsburgh, aud is in fair way of r.
