That They Carried to n Police Cell.
A peaceful citizen. a young mar on the
very Threshold of life. was shot down and
killed on Tenth avenue at 1890 yesterday
morning.
The EVENING WORLD printed an exclusive
story of the affair.
The source of the fatal shot is still n mys-
terry.
John Neary. twenty-five years old, n brick
layer out of work, who resided ut 1856 West
Thirty-third street. is the victim.
His body lies to-day on q marble slab in the
Morgue.
About ~. 80 yesterday morning Neary
walked down Tenth avenue and entered John
McGary's saloon, on the southwest corner
of Tenth avenue and Thirtieth street. With
him wert James Burns and Eddie Shinneck,
about his own age.
The trio entered the saloon and took a
couple Of rounds of drinks.
Presently Burns and Neary came out and
seated themselves on the doorstep of
the adjoining building; The first floor

The young men sat there a few minutes
talking when Neary fell back with a groan,
saying " feel sick"
liquor and propped him up against the door.
The young son of Mrs. Lizzie Barry, who
occupies the rooms directly above the restau-
rant, passed in with IA pitcher OF beer. The
BODY of the supposed drunken man was in
the way and he pushed it inside with his foot.
Neary emitted n groan, and Burns shook
him. The body was limp. Burns
was alarmed. and called Neary's
saloon. They thought Neary was suffering
from alcoholism. though Shinneck, who had
been with him all day, couldn't understand
this. as the young men had been very
temperate.
Atruck was secured aud Neary taken to
the Th!rty-seventh street police station.
Az the station he was put in a cell as an
ordinary drunk.
Something about his appearance, however.
struck Capt. Murphy as peculiar, and on ex-
animation il was found that q bullet had en-
tered his shoulder and taken q course down.
ward through the chest, penetrating the
lungs. II mus have come from above.
The man wa dead. He had probably died
on the doorstep of Foy's restaurant prior to
being put on the truck.
The neighborhood of McGsry's saloon was
in al uproar of celebration at the time.
The engines of the Hudson River road
kept up n constant din with their whistles.
People in the four-story brick tenement on
the northeast corner of the avenue were par
t~icularly hilarious. Not content with blow,
ing horns from the windows, they opened fire
with revolvers.
They were not particular as to aim. They
fired as recklessly down into the street a.
into the air.
People below thought the fusillade was be.
ing carried ON with blank cartridges, and
paid but little attention.
An EVENING WOMB reporter thoroughly
catechised this morning the ~ianitor and ten
ants of the house where Neary received hi
wound. but all denied that any shooting
whatever had occurred.

The sidewalks and pavements Of Sixth ave-

the spots where heads came in contact with
bottles backed by strong arms and stronger
passions.
