MRDEROUS AFFRAY IN A RUN SHOP
TWO MEN FRIGHTFULLY CUT.

About / O'Clock on Tuesday morning, sn sliercs.
ton took place in the porterhouse OF Michael Byrne
No. lGe First avenue between Joseph Kelly John
Murphy Patrick Lalor and Others al Of whom after
meeting there bad drunk to excess aud become intox-
Gated. From angry words they came to blows and q
general fight ensued, during which Lsor charged
drew pcche-knife and stabbed both Kelly and Murphy
in the most friChtful manner The alarm was i'm
mediatey given, when Sergeant Hedden and Officers
Edwards and Conan of the Seventeenth Ward rushed
into the groggery, and after arresting LsOr conveyed
the injured men to the Ststion.House. DIR. Mott
Police Surgeon was called, and on examining Murphy
found that artery in the thigh had been severed and
that there great danger OF death speedily ensuing
from hemorrhase. Kelly had his abdomen ripped up
TO such fearful extent that the bowels protruded.
During yesterday forenoon, Information was received
At the Coroners office that Of the injured had
died from the effects of his wounds. Coroner Hills &C.
cordngy started to hold an inquest on the body, but
on reaching the Seventeenth Police Precinct told
that they were both living.
Kelly and Murphy were visited by the Coroner for
the purpose of taking their antemOrtem examinations,
but neither of them would admit that they considered
themselves TO be in dying condition. DR.. Mott is OF
opinion that Murphy cannot recover. Kelly, who s
cut in the abdomen thigh and breast, is also in pre-
carous situation, but he may ge, well. Murphy resides
at No 100 East Eleventh street and Kelly lives at No.
100 Twelfth street. They are both married men. and
lsborers.
Patrick Lalor who was arrested for committing the
deed, states that while his brothernlaw and himself
were in the groggery, Kelly Murphy and Others came
in, when few unpleasant words passed between them
in relation to some old matter Either Kelly, Murphy,
or one of their party, then pulled out knife and made
at Lalors brother n.law as if to take his life. Lalor
ineifered to save his friend and in doing received
a cut in his right hand and cash in the face He
then pulled out bis pocketknfe, and is OF the opinion
that in self defense he stabbed and perhaps both
the suffering men, Lawrence Burns, the bartender,
who was in the all the time, says he did not see
q blow struck, which he accounts for by being under
the counter filling bottle with gin while the fight
was in progress. The barkeeper, Daniel O'Connor
and John Kelockey were arrested and detained to
give evidence before the Coroner in case the injured
parties should die All the parties engaged in this
bloody business are said to belong to the Mackereve
crowd who are looked upon with 80 much terror by
the quiet residents of that neighborhood.
