The Murderous Assault In West Fifty
6rst street.

The Murderows Assault in West Fifty
FIRST street.
Patrick Hartigan, the keeper Of q boarding house
at No. 500 West Fity-frst street, was brought up
and charged with having attempted to murder one
OF his boarders, Daniel McCauy. on Wednesday
night. The prisoner was very nervous, and only
held himself up by leaning against the railing in
front OF the magistrate. Justice Coulter asked him
what lie had to say. and he replied that he was not
guilty at ALL that somebody else must have stabbed
the man after he (the prisOner) and his wife, as
sisted by James Mcclure, another bOarder, with
whom McCauley had fght, had put him out Of
the house. Hartigan's counsel wished to know
case, ana, while His Honor was celebrating on
tDat point somebody said, ''The man Is dead. The
Coroner is the person who now takes control Of
the case" The prisoner must have heard the re-
mark, for he was noticed to grow deathly pale his
limbs shook as with the palsy and the next mo-
apart for the accommodation OF prisoners brought
up on warrants Justice Coulter, having no GER
tainty that the rumor as to McCauly's death was
true committed the prisoner to await the result OF
gan aud the man MCGUIRE were then ar
raigned and questioned by the magistrate.
The wife stated that she was cleaning the knives
in the sitting room when McCauly entered and said
with terrible Oath:-"McGuire have got you
now." He suddenly placed his foot behind Nc
kick him while down. She and her husband went
to McGulre's assistance and all three elected Nc
Cauly, who must have been cut after they had shut
the door and lett him in the street. AS to the pool
OF blood found BY the police on the floor OF her sit
ting room It must have come from Mcclure when
he was kicked alter being knocked down. Mcclure
said he knew nothing of the stabbing. He and
Mrs. Ilarti an were committed as witnesses.
