York police, but which could Got
heretofore be published. The III
formation was obtained by de-
tectiye, who, for the purpose Of
ferreting out other murders, was
put upon Jefferds' track, and be-
came intimate with him. To this
detective he avowed that the mur-
der Of DR.. Burdell, january 31st.
1857, was perpetrated by him.
Jefferds' statement to the detective
is thus given in the New York
World:
Jeferds stated to the detective
that on the fatal night he was visit
ing at the Burdel house, and was
in the parlor with the young girls
and was playing the banjo for their
amusement. The banjo, he said,
belonged to him, and not to Snod-
grass, as had before been stated,
Snodgrass being only able to thumb
on it q little. DR.. Burdel came in
and met Mrs. Cunningham, with
whom he had a violent quarrel,
after which he proceeded at once
to his room. Jeferds then went
to the room of Mrs. Cunningham,
and hearing from her the particu-
lars Of the quarrel, he became much
incensed against Burdell, and vol
unteered to "go up stairs and do
for the old rascal" In this propo-
sition he was encouraged by Mrs.
Cunningham, and he resolved he
would do it. Accordingly, draw
ing a two-edged. slender dagger,
which he habitually carried, and
being informed by her of the exact
position Of the doctors room, pro
ceeded. stealthily up stairs, The
doctor was seated at his desk,
looking over some papers by q
single gas light. So engaged was
he that he did not hear the step of
his murderer, and the first intima-
ton he had Of danger was a sud-
den blow, struck from behind, over
his shoulder, and aimed at his
heart. The blow was instantly re-
peated, and again reiterated as
rapidly as the nervous energy Of
the assassin could WELD the knife.
With a single cry Of murder" the
doomed man sprang from his chair
and grappled with Jefferds;' they
struggled from side to side Of tho
room, oyerthrowing the chairs and
dragging thestahle out of place, the
doctor striving to seize the dirk or
to hold the murderous arm, the
every blow Of which was cuttin9
away his life. 'At one time,. said
