THE PRISONER.
Daniel Cunningham, alias Daddy Cunningham, is
recognized among the "fsncy' as eight weight"
lie l. ssid to be a bsckhesrted villain, and would
have little or no hesitation in taking the life OF an ene-
ny when his temper was thoroughly aroused. He has
been in the habit Of carrying weapons for years past
and would use them with mpunity upon falling to
accomplish his oct Of rufianisn otherwise. On more
than ore occasion be has cut his antagonists right and
left, drawing bis weapons upon very slight prOvoca-
ton. Cunningham is about % years Of sge aud
weighs only 80 or 100 pounds.
Tie story, as related by Cunningham, is as follows;
Cunningham went into the rumshop and dance-house
kept By Butt Allen, at No. 90 Howard street, in CON-
pany with some friends, about u! O'Clock on Friday
Digbt Cunningham danced and frted with the girls
some hours. He saw Paadeen there, but being at
enty with him. did not take any notice OF him. About
o'clock on Saturday morning Paudeen and Cunning
BAN met in the bar-roon at Aliens. Paudeen COM
neuced talkiIg about John Morrissey in a very dis
parsgipg aud abusive manner; Cunningham, who is a
warm friend of Morrsrey told him he had better re-
.esye his abuse until Morrissey should be present.
Psudeen. instead of moieratng his speech, became
still moro vioen. in his language, and added that he
could lick any friend OF Morsseys. This style OF con-
yerss,ion continued for some time, with increasing
warmth and violence, when Psudeen at length ad. |
.anccd toward Cunningham though he would take |
hold Of bim. Cunningham, who is physically little |
elow but in temper one of the most vicious and VIM
iictive Of bis class, warned him, Keep away from
me" keep away from me; am not able to fight
you; but if you touch me shall hurt YOU at the
ame time retreatng from him. Paudeen caught hold
# him. but the bystanders interfered and separated
hem. without blow. Paudeen then said, - Il meet
you tomorrow, and slap your face for YOU Gun
lngham said Il guess you won't Paudeen ex-
laimed. " Cod d-n you, III slap it now Cunning
IAN tried to get around behind tue bar, and partially
ucoeeded. when Paudeen reacled over and took MN
" the collar. Cunningham became inghtiuly en-
aged, and screamed out, Let 60 Of me- or shall
ill you" This he repeated three times. Paudeen
till maintained his hold but blows were struck At
he third warning Cunningham drew pistol from MS
,reast and shot Paudeen in the upper part OF the
,reast. Psudeen relaxed his hold and fell cursng and
roaming to the floor.
Last evening Paudeen was still alive, though very
eeble. Theie is bare possibility that ne may re-
over, but the chances greatly againA such
