"b Hoc tor' LasOUdy Aeeoaed of the Deed aad Acquitted After 8fnaatlneial Trial One of the Host Reanaxkmble Case In th History of Crime. (Copyright, UOi, by American Press Associa tion. I Before the murder of' Dr. Harvey Bur- fell there had been in tlio United Stales many crimes equally atrocious, but it is doubtful if thcro had been one siuco the death of Alexander Hamilton, which was regarded as a murder, that so stirred the nation. As in most cases of this kind, there was a woman involved, and it was believed then, as it is believed now, that if this woman wo3 not directly responsible for Dr. Burden's death she at least knew the person who committed the crime. Dr. Harvey Burdell was a dentist by profession. He was born in Herkimer county, New York state, in 1811, so that SB. HAR7KT DCHDELL WAS SEEK STANDING ON HIS F1I0XT STEPS. he was 40 years of ago at the time of his death. He was brought up on a farm and had tevf educational advantages ia early life, but, having unusual force of charac ter, he determined to acquire an education, and this he did in tho face of obstacles that would havo intlmidatod a man of less strength. In those days the profession of dentistry was not so firmly established as it is at present, but young Burdell, by careful study, mastered all there was to be known in the theory and practice of dentistry, and, coming to New York in his twenty-fourth year, he soon found him self on the way to fame and fortune. In curly lifo Dr. Burdell was engaged to a beautiful young girl in tho interior of the state, but lior parents objecting to him bocause he was poor he lived a bachelor all his life, unless indeed we are to believe tho story of Mrs. Cunningham, who sub sequently became his housckcepor. While bis moral character was not of the best tho fact that he attendod closely to busi ness nnd accumulated $150,000, which was then thought to be a large fortune, gave mm a good standing in the community. and even in middle life designing mothers thought him an eligible match for girls not one-nail bis age. Vhilo close and even penurious in bus! ness, Dr. Burdell did not deprive himself of tlio luxuries of lifo. Ho bclongod to a number of clubs whose members were noted for fast living, and he was said to be fond of wino and all thereunto pertaining, though ho never gambled. About live years before his death Dr. Burdell pur chased the large dwelling house then known as 31 Bond street. The premises being much larger than ho roquired for bis personal use, ho retained a bedroom, a reception room and an operating room. and rented the rest of the building to Mrs. uunnlngbam, who was known as his land lady. Mrs. Cunningham was a large, florid woman of 40, whoso husband had died a few years before in California. She bad four children two boys, aged 8 and 10, aud two girls, agod 14 and 15. She was the daughter of Christopher Hempstead, a re spectable businoss man of Brooklyn. On the trial it was pretty clearly shown that Mrs. Cunningham never had been mar ricd to the man whosMiame she bore, and it was proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that her character, both before and after the alleged marriage, was not, like that of Ctesar s wife, above suspicion. Among Mrs. Cunningham's lodger there were two men who figured conspion ously in her trial, one of whom, John J. Eckel, a good looking man of 40, had the reputation of being a fast liver. The trial showed that the relations between Mrs. Cunningham and Eckel were of the most intimate kind. Indeed she confessed that she was his mistress, and, to use his own language, "a very expensive one." An other lodger that figured in the trial was a young man of 18, named Snod grass, whose relations with Mrs. Cunningham's oldest daughter were, it was shown, the same as those of Eckel with the mother. The other lodgers were irregular and did not figure in the trial, but Hannah Conlin, the cook, was a most Important witness. Friday, Jan. SO, 1857, was a stormy, disagreeable day. The rain froze as it fell. and the walls of the houses and the pave ments were covered with an armor of ioe. At S p. in. on that day Or. Harvey Burdell was seen by people living at 36, on the op posite side of the street, standing on the front steps of his house, buttoning up his overcoat and raising an umbrella. This was not an unusual occurrence, for he was a man of very regular habits, and at that hour always weut to the Metropolitan hotel, near by, for his dinner. Whether he went to toe Metropolitan hotel this even ing or not has never been ascertained, for be was never again seen alive. At half past 10 on the night of the 30th the people in the house 86 Bond street, who were playing cards in the parlor, were startled by hearing the cry. ' Mur der!" Tbcy sprang to their feet and bent to listen, for they could not tell the direc tion from which the cry came. It was not repeated. That ono short, sharp, thrilling cry was all they beard. Then, thinking it was the exclamation of some person who had stumbled oa the slippery street, they watt amnsemantav About 19 o'clock that night a visitor, leaving 86 Bond street, saw a light in the basement of Dr. Bunleil's bouse. It came from a fire, as of something being burned, and not from gas or a lamp, and this belief was confirmed by the smell of burning doming or teaxner. Dr. Burdell had an office boy named Thomas Callahan, whose duty it was to sweep up the office and start the grate fires at 8 o'clock every morning in winter time. This boy, who lived outside with his parents, came to the office at 8 o'clock on the morning of the 81st. As was his habit, he first went down to the cellar to get a scutuc of coal. As he n eared the of fice he took out his dcadlatch key to un lock the door and was surprised to find it open. He pushed it in a few feet, when it was stopped by a heavy body on the oppo site side. He set down the scuttle and looked behind the door. Every gas Jet was burning, and he saw that the object that had obstructed the door was the dead body of Dr. Harvey Burdell. The hoy shouted and stared wildly about him. The body lay in a pool of blood. There was blood on the walls, blood on the floors, blood on tho pictures and blood on the overturned furniture, all showing that Dr. Burdell, who was a powerful man, had mado a terrifio fight for his life before he succumbed to the 15 dagger stabs, most of which were fatal. The boy rushed in to Mrs. Cunning ham's dining room, where be found her self, the boarders and children placidly eating breakfast. On learning that the doctor was murdered, Mrs. Cunningham shrieked and became hysterical, but Eckel, beyond turning pale, showed no sign of excitement. The police were ct once called in and doctors summoned, but the latter declared that Dr. Burdell had been dead at least since midnight. The news of the murder spread through the city, like tho proverbial wildfire, aad public opinion was quick to associate Mrs. Cunningham and her paramour, Eckel, with the crime. A coroner's jury was summoned, and its deliberations lasted for three days. During- the investigation Hannah Conlin, the cook, swore that on the 30th a woman had come to the house, saying she had rented it of Dr. Burdell from tho 1st of the following May, and as Mrs. Cunningham was out the cook showed her over the premises. When, on her return, Mrs. Cunningham learned this, she said to Hannah Conlin, "Dr. Burdell had better be careful or he may not live to sign the lease." Another Curious fact came out in tho evidence before the coroner's jury. Some of the most skillful surgical experts in the city were called in, and one and all swore that tho wounds were inflicted by a long bladcd, keen edged dagger. Owing to the nature of tho wounds, the surgeons also declared that they were inflicted by a left handed person. Mrs. Cunningham was left handed. The woman was certainly an excellent actress. She declared that she was the wife of Dr. Burdell, to whom she was se cretly married, as was shown by a mar riage certificate, dated Oct. 38, 1856, and signed by tho Kcv. Dr. Marvine. Dr. Marvine distinctly remembered having married Mrs. Cunningham to somebody, but he could not recall the name or ap pearance of tho man, and it was then be lieved that Mrs. Cunningham had induced aomo person, possibly Eckel, to represent the doctor. Although boldly and strenuously declar ing their innocence, tho evidonce against Mrs. Cunningham and Eckel was consid ered sufficient by the grand jury to lead to their indictment for the murder of Dr. Harvey Burdell. Both these pcoplo were incarcerated in the Tombs. Henry L. Clinton, one of the foremost criminal law yers of tho day, was retained by Mrs. Cun ningham, who now called herself Mrs. Cunningham-Burdoll. A. Oakey Hall, then district attorney for New York city, conducted tho prosecution. The trial lasted for thrco days, and the courtroom was crowded to suffocation hours boforo tho time set for each day's session. Mr. Hall was then in the prime of manhood, and he conducted the case with characteristic force and ability. But to tho surprise and indignation of tho pub lic the jury returned a verdict of "not guilty." If any had had doubts as to Mrs. Cunningham's connection with the crime. they were set at rest after the release of herself and Eckel. As tho widow of the murdered man, she claimed her dower right in his estate, and she might have succeeded in this bad not her avariciousness induced her to concoct a scheme for getting possession of the whole. Hha claimed that she was about to become a mother, and that Dr. Burdell was the father of her unborn child. In order to carry out this plan it was neces sary for her to purchase tho services of a doctor who would lend himsolf to her pur pose. She hit upon Dr. Chi and offered him $1,000 if he would procure a newborn baby, bring it to her room, and then make affidavit that she was its mother. Dr. Vhl pretended to enter into the con spiracy, but "before taking another step he laid the whole matter before District At- TEK BOV CALLAB AX OPENS TUB DOOft. tornpy Hall. The district attorney decideo to further the enterprise. A respectable marriorj woman named Anderson was de livered at this time of a daughter named aiterwara J ustitia. This child was taken to Mrs. Cunningham's room, where it mar be said to have had a second birth, for the woman, pretending to be sick in bed, claimed It was hers. The conspiracy wm at once made known to the public, but for ' some reason Mrs. Cunningham was not prosecuted. Afterward the great show man, Barnum, exhibited the genuine mother and baby in his museum to the ' great profit of all concerned. j Although blood was found In George K : ig lull 8 Snodgrass room indeed, there was blood found from the attic to the cellar tho do tuctives did not connect him with the crime. John J. Eckel died a fo yean afterward in the Albany penitentiary, to which be had been sent for connection with whisky frauds in Brooklyn. Mrs. Cunningham, still calling herseli Cunningham-Burdell, mado no further effort to get possession of tho doctor's prop erty. She went to .southern California, where, it is said, she carried on a fruit farm with some success until a few yean ago, when she died. So far as the law is concerned, the mur derer of Dr. Harvey Burdell remains un known. There are, hswever, but few rew Yorkers living who can remember the tragedy who do not feel very certain thai they could name the assassin. Alfued K. Calhouk. CHIEF BYRNES' SUCCESSOR. A Clear Beaded OMecr at tho Head ol New Tork'a INUee Force. Peter Conlin, the new head of the New York polioo force and successor of the fa mous Chief Byrnes, has been 27 years climbing the ladder. He started in at the bottom round, and now ha is at the top. He now draws a salary of 1 0,000 per year and is in full command of nearly 8,500 men. The responsibilities of the ofllce are heavy and numerous. He will bo con stantly racking his brain for new methods of trapping the perpetrators of daring and mysterious crimes. He will be expected to continue to keep all the saloons in that big city closed on Sundays. On holidays and at events whore great crowds assem ble bis men are relied upon to keep every thing running smoothly- and to prevent foolish people from getting hurt. A big crowd is often as hard to handle as a mob. Just how Chief Conlin will act when called upon to suppress a mob ho has al ready indicated. It startled some pcoplo when ho announced t hat, if necessary, ho would use cannon loaded with grapo and canister and shoot, wbon he did shoot, to kill. This information came out on the occa sion of Mr. Conlin's recent civil service examination, which ho passed successfully beforo receiving his appointment. It was a somewhat unusual method of testing a candidate for such an office, but the ex periment was evidently a successful one. The candidate for chief was given a long list of tough questions. They were prac tical questions, however, and dealt with the duties of policemen of all grades. For five long hours Mr. Conlin alternately chewed the end of a lead pencil and cov ered big sheets of paper with his answers. When he was through, tho police coin missioucrs found that his definitions were lucid, intelligent and correct. They gave him a high mark and made him chief at once. Here is ono of the questions and Chief Conlin's answer: "Question. Assuming that you were chief of police under an act consolidating New York and Brooklyn, how would you PETER CONLIN. form and march to Brooklyn, in cose of a strike in tnat city, 1,000 reserves from this city?" "Answer. Form my reserves In City Hall park, form into battalions, march to bridge, take cars and march to place were needed." The answer to another question, inquir ing what disposal he would make of the national guard in case a general street car strike mado it necessary to call out ail the regiments, was the subject of some com ment. In it he described bow he would dispose of the military at various points. and where he would locate artillory. Then he added, ''Only grapo and canister to bo used." Tho labor unions at once protested. but Chief Conlin reiterated that while he hoped such a time would never come, if it did como, ho would do exactly as be had saiu ne would. Peter Conlin was bora in New York city 64 years ago. He cat's ted as a private in the army in 1861 anu" rose to be second lieutenant of Company E in the famous Irish brigade. At the battle of Malvern Hill he was severely wounded. He was ap pointed deputy collector of internal revenue in Louisiana at the close of the war and aft erward kept a hotel fora short time in Newburg, N. Y. In 1869 he returned to few York and was appointed a Datrolman He was steadily promoted until he became an inspector in 1887. Billy Florence, the famous actor, was his half brother. Mr. Conlin has been acting as chief of the New York police for some months, but now ne nas wen vested with all the au thority wbieh was placed in the hands of his famous predecessor. It remains te be seen whether or not his success will be as great. CoUklad With a Bosaard. A buzzard was attracted bv the head light of a passenger engine running on the Louisville and Nashville one night recent ly, it is reported, and in the resulting col lision tho headlight exploded, covered the front of the engine with flame and scared the engineer, who made an emergency stoii that shook up and scared all the passen gers. After tho panic the burned body of the buszard was found wedged in the uoken Headlight. Eyes oa Top of Its Head. A child was born a few days ago in an obscure town in the state of Oaxaca, Mex ico, having a most singularly formed head, possessing a mouth, but no nose; ears reg ularly proportioned, and eyes finely shaped, but located in the tcp of its head. The Indians regard its birth cs a portent, al though it has since died, and its has! baa been sent to a state museum. Export OjlatasM Tlss New York World recently had la terviewa with four leading crooks conflned in bmg felngon the question substantially How would these crooks run the police do partancnt of New York city?
