Astemptt % shoot the British Con
sui in New York.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Great excite
ment was caused In the neigh borhoot
of the British Consulate this Afternoon
BY the report of two pistol shots and thu
spectacle of hatless man running a,
the top of his speed. The fugitive was
pursued and captured by . policeman
He gave the name of Feeney, and il
was learned that he had attempted to
take the life Of the British Consul by
firing two shots at him.
When the prisoner was brought to
the New street station house, he de.
scribed himself a. John A. Feeny ,aged
26 years, an Irishman, and by trade a
coachman. He appeared sickly, and
he said he was recently discharged
from hospital in Buffalo He declared
that he had come from Canada on pur-
pose to kill the British Consul, who had
been libeling his character. 1t wasevi.
dent that he was of unsound mind
A complaint being prepared against
him by Edmund Prentiss and David
Oak, tr., of the British Consul's Office,
he was taken to the Tombs Police Court
70 examination.
When Feeney entered the outer-roOm
of the British Consulate he drew . sew
en- chambered revolver and fired two
shots, apparently without any definite
aim and without hitting any one. He
was arrested Immediately afterwari by
officer John Carr, of the First Precinct
In court, Feeney acted in . wild, ex-
cited manner, shouting that he wanted
to kill the villains who had accused
him of crime and published stories
against his character. To reporter he
said that he had been arrested in Dub
lin without cause and locked up In Kill
mainham. While there he was offered
$500 to swear fasleiy against fellow
prisoner. He refused. When it became
known that w had informed others of
the offer made him, he was locked up
in a stage coach and conveyed to Liv.
erpool, where he was placed on board
the Circassia and landed in Toronto.
There he was placed in the insane ward
of hospital. He was finally released
and went to Buffalo five weeks ago.
On Monday he came here, intending
to try to get back to Ireland. Yester-
day he went to the British Consulate
and asked what communications they
had received from London about him.
He was told that they knew nothing
about him. To-day, he went there again
and asked the name of the person who
was publishing blasphemous letters
against his character. they laughed
at me" he said, "and then cried de-
fend yourself, III lose my life for my
character" and fired.
Nothing is known about Feeney in
this city, and no doubt Of his insanity
IL entertained.
