NEW YoRK's LAST TERRIBLE TRAGEDY
COoiness Of Simmons, the StaGber.-An account OF
the terrible tragedy in New York Monday night
CHE stabbin OF Duryea, wealthy policy deal
er, by another man, John T.. Simmons, engaged
in the same business, } was published in yester-
days STAR. Last nights kilograms say that the
reported cause of the dispute which led to the
murder was The failure of Duryea 20 paw $40 0O1
borrowed from Summons some time ago. John
Graham and Elbridge L. Gerry have been re-.
tanned by Simmons, the murderer Of Duryea as
his counsel. An autopsy of the body of Dui yea
showed that he was stabbed fourteen times.
The New York Times says The conduct of
Simmons the moment after the murder, was a
study. III he had just come out of church he
could not have been more cool and collected.
He was taken into highly respectable restau-
rant close at hand, sat down, complained of his
ank lie, and told the people round about HIM that
he had no idea "what il was all about" His
right hand and a-m were covered wi Ia the muir
dertd mans blood, and after looking placidly
upon il for few minutes he asked for q doctor
to attend to his ankle, and declared sweetly
that he was q "law-abiding citizen"
He had thrown the knife down the cellar OF the
restaurant, where il was afterward found. No
man after doing q virtuous action could be more
composed. The people in the vicinity were un-
der the impression that he had been attacked.
until the dead BODY was found Just opposite in
pool OF blood. The murderer and the victim
were carried away in an open cart, side by side,
and all that the murderer wanted to compiled
his happiness was cigar, which he obtained ct
the police station. ''Such is life as q bystand-
or coolly observed.
