HOW MoRRlssEY WAS HAIgp.
The Plot Against His LIre--How the
Assassins Were Banied
New York Star

New York Star.
Ia previous years the feeling on tina part of
the ring thieves, their satellites and deprayol
henchmen was intensely bitter, and a con
spiracy was formed to kill Morrissey A no.
torious crimina was brought from Philadel-
phia and employed to commit the crime. He
had already taken the lives Of three persons
in his own city. He was II cool, calculating
man, and usually melted his enemies. by
tantalizing words, 70 strike the FIRST blow,
and then would suddenly turn on them with
murderous weapons in his hands. GNi
not cease his assault until he had taken
their lives. He made his headquarters
ON Broadway and Houston street, at II noted
rendezvous kept by u man by the name OF
Florence.
On one occasion he and his companions
paid n visit to Morrissey's gambling house
on West Twenty-fourth street, but did not
succeed in obtaining Abundance. If they
Ind been admitted they would have proba-
ably killed Morrissey, for such was their in
tention when they left their headquarters TO
go to his gambling house. On their return
to their usual place Of meeting an alteration
took place between the Philadelphia mlr-
derer and Reddy the blacksmith, which
ended in the death Of James Haggerty, the
leader. His untimely taking off broke up
the conspiracy which had been formed to
XIII MOfflsssg. READY was arrested. IN
dicted, tried and acquitted, the jury holding
him g~uiltless, as the evidence conclusively
showed thnt he was defending himself against
the assaults Of the rufian whom he killed.
Morrissey acted discreetly by avoiding a
conflict with the ~scoundrels who were em-
ployed to draw him into a fight in order to
take his life. He attended strictly to bust.
ness and kept out of public houses aud other
places where he would likely meet these out
laws.
In the summer OF 1870 n crowd OF lawless
rufians paid "A visit to Saratoga, where Nor
rissey kept q gambling house, and was tho
principal owner Of the r~acecourse. His infu-
ence in that city was very great and they did
not attack him, as the officers of the law,
whom they feared, were on the side of Nor
rissey. Finding it impossible for them to nc
complish their villainous purpose, they re.
turned 10 the city greatly disappointed. On
one occasion they visited the race course and
became quite insolent and abusive TO Nor
rissey, who WAS cool, firm and decided. and
Immediately ordered the officers in charge to
arrest the leaders, who had violated the rules
governing the course, and against whom he
had made charges before a police magistrate.
Although the magistrate found them guilty,
and would have sent them TO the peniten-
tiary had not Morrissey requested him to
suspend judgment, only a small fine was i'm
posed upon each OF them, aud they wero ex-
ceedingly well please to get off so lightly.
He was never interfcrel with aftcrward at
Saratoga by tho bad men who were employed
to attack him, most OF whom were receiving
pay from the city government for services
which they had not rendered.

Egyptian Prisons.

Tho following extract in reference to
Egyptian prisons is from letter receiv
ed by Charles Cook from Clifford Lloyd;
dated Cairo, April ith; ''Prisoners are
being released as quickly as possible,
though it has been with great difficulty
that any lists of them have been pro-
cured showing the charges. found some
prisoners in Jail charged with theft,
pending trial, for six years and nine
months; many for over five years also.
Believe me that all my smypathies are
this down troden ard oppressed people.
We have steady done II great deal for
them. They are not liable now to be
imprisonncd ut the will of the Mudlr,
and are not subject. us before, to the
extgtion of older days. There is much
yet to be done. need not say, and our
difficulties are many and great. but with
l have no doubt that all these will be
overcome" Mr. Cook who has
just returned from visit to the
prisons of Egypt, states: 1T was
no uncommon thing to find the
water used for drinking purposes kept
in the lairine and a cesspool under the
room where the prisoners slept. At
Zagazig, in prison seventy two yards
square, there Were seventy-two men
sleeping, and at Benha there had been
an epidemic of typhoid fever. But this
is not the worst. Over 400 prisoners
we found in prison who were un,ried.
On my return to Cairo | wrote to the
authorities and to his Highness the
Khedive, praying that the cases Of these
men might be seen into at once or else
discharged. as DR. CEiikshanks had in.
formed me that most OF them had served
the maximum term OF their imprisob-
ment had they been tried aud found
guilty; but, as he declared, very many
of them have been falsely accused. |
am glad to say that three days after our
petition was sent in 100 We're released,
and this was TO continue till all We're set
at liberty. London Telegraph.
