NEW YORK, May zl.-Ihe acquittai VI
Jere Dunn, tried for the murder OF Elliott,
has aroused the utmost indignation among
the friends of Elliott in this city. and there
is many a protest that it would be un-
healthy for Dunn to come to New York.
John Stiles. who was for many years an
intimate friend Of Elliott, and who, when
the prize fighter was killed, brought the
body to this city and paid all the funeral
expenses, frowned ominously when asked
his opinion, and said: Eyes, he was let
go, and his jury, composed of twelve
made tell what they got for their verdict.
They are all afraid Of Dunn. They want
to have him kill half . dozen more men
before they hang him." Owen Kelly, an
other friend Of Elliott, said: 1.-THE whole
Jury was bought by Dunn's wife. She is
worth about 500, 600, and spent about
$50, 900 to clear him. A dead man is no
good, and Elliott's friends didn't have the
money to avenge him. II Dunn ever
comes here we will make it very hot for
him. He'll never get out OF it. He has
got rid Of four men now, and he won't let
mp until he has laid his dozen low. When
he killed Logan on Houston street in 1869
he shot him down while walking along.
Logan had no chance. Dunn followed the
same plan with Elliott"
