TLo clocks of tho city had just soundedtlio tour of 5 yesterday afternoon when onoof tbc most deliberate, d mur-

ders known In tbe annals of crime wascomalttcd In ono of tbo bnslcst parts of thecitv at tbo Junction of New York avenuoncd l'ltlccnth elroit. Tbe victim was onoof Washington's best citizens, Joseph 0. 0.Kennedy, and tbe assassin was John Dally,a man comparatively a stranger to tho city,and, to far as could bo learned, withoutany cause etifllclcnt to Inclto him to com-

mit tho borriblo crime.Mr. Kennedy had Just concluded bis

daj's rubor and left tho close atmosphereof his ofllco, T20 Fifteenth street; howalked across the street In front of theNational Sato Deposit building and put aletter In tho box, wblch Is fastened to tbelamppost on tbo corner; he thon turnedand went toward a Fourteenth street car,wblch was standing In position ready tostart on Its trip, and on which ho Intendedtiding borne, but beforo bo reached It amedium sized, determined looking mmmoved toward him from behind, deliberatelyand without haste, and struck htm In theLack with his left flat, and as Mr., Kennedyturned partially around tho murderer

police" camo from tho prostrate man, andthen, whllo the horror-strlcUo- n crowdstood as It petrified, Henry .Mason, thespecial officer at tho Safo DenosltCompany's building, picked Mr. Kon-

nedy tin In bis arms, and as bodid so Mr. Kennedy himself pulled theknife out of tbo wound, tbo blood fromwblch ran down Inside bis trousers and onto bis ehocs. Dally, meanwhile, stoodwatching bis victim; unconcern was written... . aI..ba .kiI I. .rna nl unfitIU CHI) 1C1UU1L--

Ho mado nonttcmtt tocEcupo, but objected to beingnneetcd by a colored man, and stated hisohjeitlon In very forclblo lan-

guage. Mr. Kennedy bad not ceasedto ciy "Ob-b-- b I oh h I " fiom tho tlmo ofhis first call, and tbu Indox linger of hisright band pointed continually at the calm,faced murderer. Tbo dying man at firstlupported himself on his left elbow andlooked straight .at Dally, tbe finger neverswerving or shaking, hut as his strengthdiminished tbo plcrclug gazo be-

came dim, and tbo strong light armgradually lowered until It rested along-side bis entirely prostrate form,for the supporting arm had refuted to sus-

tain bis wctcht, and tbo gallant old gentle-man was prono on tbo hot concrete street.Ills rrsplratlou was becoming moroi. ored;tbe film of death obscured his vision; tbeugly gaping wound seemed to open andcloso convulsively; tbo pale-gra- y hue of dlscolutlon overspread bis countenance, andwith a pi cmooltorygurglo a gasping cryJoseph Kennedy was dead. Dead on tbestreet and foully assassinated.

TLo Immense crowd tbat bad gatheredin tbo eight minutes which elapsed between'He stabbing and the death of tbo mur-dered man was now almost ready for ex-

treme measures, and many a hoarso voicecried out for tho murderer's Wood. Onoman asked lilmwhy he killed Mr. Kennedy,and he said :

"You will flud out after this; d n him,(r, I killed 1.1m."Threats o' lynching were freely indulged

In, but there was no movemont made Intbat direction tbo crowd was of too cos-mopolitan a character. Tbat troublewould, lion ever, have been overcome In afew minutes; all tbat was wanting was aleader, and ho doubtless would have boenfoitbcomlng, but Just at tbat critical mo-ment Beret. Connolly pushed his waythrough tho crowd, end, with Officer Sal-kc- ld

and Special Ofllcer Mason, took thonnnareutlv unconcerned prisoner to Nairn& Ogram's druir store, on tho southeastcomer of New York avenue aud Fifteenthstreet, and kepthlm tbero for some time.The dead man's body was removed to thotilth nriclnet morgue in tbo patrol watron.

"I am not druuk nor crazy," said theprisoner to Sergt. Connelly aud OfllcerSalkeld wblle on tho way to tbe third pre-

cinct."What made you do It J" asked ono of

tbo officers."It 111 como out; I mistook him tor an-

other man."Tho prisoner then kept silent until ho

at the tblrd precinct station. Whenstarched tbero a razor was found In bislight shoo.

"Wbt did you want with tho razor,"was asked blr,butba refused to answer.He gave his name as John Dally, and thatbe was a native of Tlppcrary, Irelaud, andwas to j ears old. Ho was then removed tocell S and locked up; Lieut Our, afterlocking up tbe prisoner, bad a talk with(itm. but all that tbo prisoner would saywas tbat bo had beon robbed out of bisproperty by Mr. Kennedy. Other officerswent to blm afterward to learn somethingmore about tbe matter, and to all ho gtvunlout tbe eaino answer. Beret. .Harbisongot from blm lho fact tbat bo bad been forsrme tlmo living at Mrs. lirannon's bouse,at tbn corner of Fourteenth and N streets.

A re porter of tbu Hepum-ioa- saw DallyIn bis cell last night and, In tbe presence ofOfllci r Hart nud others, bo said tbat beforotbo war Mr. Kennedy bought some of hisfather's property on M street, between

In small sums at different tlmos.rropcilythat the property was worth mora,and that Ms father had never been paidtnougb. TLo pilsoner had bis coat oft,and vi ashing down on tbo Iron bench fitIllicit), Ilo camo to tho cell door whencalled, and did not appear to ho tho loistdisturbed. Ho was poorly dressed, and bisIron grsy whiskers looked as If they hadbien recently cut. Ho snoLo like a ramwlolndsorao deep Imaginary grievance,and tbo officers who heard blm adjulredblm to bo n crank. "Headquarters bas idstecord," said I.tiut. Guy. "Ho has been Intbc hospital oft arid on slnco 18S3. He onlyuot out yesterday. Dr. Hartlgan had himsuit tbrro somo llratugo bySaultaryOnicerTccplo."

Mrs. liramion was seen by a reporter forIbuItrri'DUCN. "I can't sty that I knowa great deal about Dally.

Ho was not nbloto work at any bard labor. Sometimes bodid totno llttlo things for moabiutthohouse. Occasionally lie would do lightwork when ho could get It, hen ha leftmy Louse I understood blm to ssy that bowas going to tbe hospital "

"Did jou ever hear blm say an) thingcbcut Mr. Kennedy and bis father's crop-eity- l"

"No, sir; I be Novo his father did ownseme properiyycars ago on m street,

Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets."Had ho lived hero long !"

"Yes, but he was not from here; ho waslorn In tho old country."

Further Information was learned ofDaily's lomlly from Sergt Harbison andothers to tho effect tbat Daily's fatber,Michael Dally, married as bis second wife asi rvant In Mr. Kennedy's family. It wasin tbls way that Mr. Kennedy camo toknow tbo Dalits.

Tbe affair occurred at a time when thestreets In tbo neighborhood were tilled withI eople and tbe cars wero maklog transfersof large numbers of passengers.

Wni. Hunt, tbo transfer agent of theWatblrgton and Georgetown ltallrosdCcmpauy, statu!: "I was In the act of

ladles transfers, when tiieysuui dcnlv cried Tout: 'Murder! Murder!'I lot kcM around and saw two monon thogiouud near tho Fourteenth street car. Tborniu were nearer tho curb tbat the ca. Iwas busy glvlrg transfers to peoplo get-Ui- g

off tbo cars. Tbo next I sawwas tbo pollco taking John Dally past me.I know blm it once. I knew him when Iwssdilvlcgoii tbo Fourteenth strcot line.Ho was a tramp, and I always looked onhim as such. I did not see tbo cutting, asmy back was turned and I was busy givingout transfers."

About tho tlmo of tho murder Dr.limb, U. S. N,, and Mr. Blgourney Butler, or tno sccona comptroller's

Treasury Department, wcro at-

tracted by tlio crowd tbat bad rapidlycathcrcd around tho prostrato man. Dr.1,'utb was tbo first physician at hand andImmidlatcly examined tho wound, whichbo saw at once was fatal Ho felt Mr. Ken-nedy's pulso and realized at onco that Ufov as slipping away rapidly, and In five min-utes alter tbe surgeon had first seen himMr. Kennedy was dead.

Mr. ClareuceF. Cobb, of tbo paymastergeneral's office, was about to retlro for thoLight, when a National re-

porter called at hla residence, on Sixteenthand Park streets, Mount Pleasant, WhenesLcel about tbo murder, bo said: "I hadJust been down to Stlncmctz's to buy a hat.I took tho avenuo car colng west, and gotoff at tbo Junction of Fifteenth street andNow York avenue. I saw two men appar-ently scuflllng, and recognized Mr. Kennodyas ono of tbe contestants. I thoughtthat they wero two old men who hadtun against each other, and did notImagine that anything serious was oc-

curring, oven when I beard Mr. Kennedyscream, 'My God he's killing mo.' ThenI saw n knife, and I rushed up and grabbedDally. I said, 'What did you do It for?'and ho replied, 'Tbo futtiro will show.'I shook blm rather roughly and said, 'Iarrest jou.' Ilo olfered no resistance, butsaid, 'That's all light; I'll go with you;I'm glad I did it.'

"When threats wcro mado of lynchingDally bicamo a llttlo frightened. Ilo waslo fool. I ordered tho policeman, whoteemed scared to dcatb, to bandcult tboprisoner, wbleh bo did. I was somewhatexcited myself. 1 knew Mr. Kennedy froma talc He was one of tbe most Inoffensiveof men and universally beloved."

Vim. u. jiaiiuiti, ono oi tno trausierBgtnls of tbo Washington aud GoorgotownKellroad Company at tbo corner of Fif-

I saw Mr. Kennedy walk-ing toward tbo car. Ho was within ten feetof It, when this man Dally stabbed him Intbo stomach. Mr. Kennedy ci led, 'OU, myOld! bo's killed mel' and fell, nudDally fell over blm. I nulledDally up and asked blm what ho dtd'lt lor.Ho said 'You will know hereafter.' HeroMr. Kennedy rcto up and pulled tbo knlfoout of bis side, exclaiming tbrce times asbo Old so 'this Is what bo killed mo with,'ut tbo fame tlmo exhibiting a butcherknife, sharp as a razor. I called an officer,und bo took Dally Into his custody. SpecialOfllcer Key, of tbo Humane Society, thennrirtcd on the scene and cavo his attentionto Mr. Kennedy, holding hisbead until Lo ceased to breathe.I was very much excited. Tbls man Dallyttsiil to work at Brannon'a grocery store,ci rner Fourteenth and N, about a year ago.Tbo first I saw of him to day was about 1p. m. Ilo loafed op tho corner all evening;bo did not act suspiciously, however. Ithink bo Intended to kill Ivennedy. Hewas cot a crank a year ago. I do not thinkhe's ciazy now. A cumber of newsboyswere alio witnesses to tbe adray,"- Mr. Henry Mason, an Intelligent coloredman, about 25 years of age, a special ofllcerIn the National Snfo Deposit building, ontho corner of Fifteenth aud Now Yorkavintic, was tho first man to pick Mr. Ken-nedy up. Mr. Mason said: "My watch wasover nt 4 o'clock, and I was changing myclothes when I beard somo ono 'holler' 'ohoh! ohl' A man looking Hko a laboring manrushed In and said a man's killed. I ranout and saw Mr. Kennedy lying on thostreet. At Uret I thought a carbud run over blm, but whenI picked him up a knife droppedout of bis side. I said, ' Who did It?' and aman raid 'There's tho man,' and I grabbedtbe man pointed to and held blm. WhenI first picked Mr, Kennedy up ho waslying ou tbo ground, supporting himselfon his left hand, and pointing with his rightLand to tho man who stabled blm. Ilopiversalda word, but crooned 'oh!' 'ohl'all tbo tlmo. Ills groans wcro very loud atfirst, but becamo fainter and fainter.

"The excitement was very ereat. but thocrowd stood by and didn't seem to knowwbat to do. When Ofllcer Salkeld, whowas ou tbat corner, came up I turnod tbemurderer ovei to blm. and tho olKcer tookblm to Nairn's drug store, on ths corner, toget him away from tbo crowd.

"When I seized Dally somo ono In thocrowd, wblch had seemed afraid of him,snhl, 'Why did yon kill him?1 He said,'You will find out after this. D n blm!Yes, I killed him.

"Tbero was a tremendous crowd, andthere was great feeling against tho pris-oner. Tho crowd wanted to put a ropoaround his neck and hang him. Tho mandidn't seem to be bothered. Somo ono said,Ain't you ashamed?' but ho paid no atten-

tion to It. Tho man never said anythingwhen, cow and then, somebody would

troublo blm and he would turnaround florcely on them. Tho mandidn't ecem as If bo bad doneanything. Ho said tbrco times, 'Yes, Idone It.' Yes; I heard somebody say thoman raid ho had killed tho wrong man, butIt didn't matter, anyhow, But ho novcrtaldanjtblng of the sort whllo I had blm.The man was taken to tbe station houso andI went back to Mr. Kennedy, who was thendead.

o'clock, and after passing Mr. Kennedy'scfllro n man camo up to blm suddonly andlooked blm In tbo face very sharply. Mr.James did not pay much attention to theman, as ho was In a hurry. Tbo man was,however, seen to follow otter Mr. Jamesfor a few yards and then stopand took bis scat on tbo chain fence, whereto bad been seen loaflna slnco 3 o'clock latbenflcrnocn. Tbe man was seen loiter-ing about tbo Pisco by workmen at theSafe Deposit building and by Henry Mason,tho colored watchman at tbat place.

Col. Joseph M. Kennedy stated last nighttbat when bo lctt bis father's office, shortly-afte- r

When bo flst heard oftbo occurrence It was at his father'shi urc, and tbo news came to blmtbat his father had been injured. Howouttotna .emergency Hospital, wucra no wastold tbat his father bad been taken. Hofound, however, that ha had been takenclsewbirc, and after furthur Inquiry hewas told to go to tbo sixth prccluct station.I'cccblnc there ho found the holy of bisfatber at tbo morgue Colonel Kennedystatid that bo knew Dally very well andtbat bis fatber did, nt ono time, buy prop-erty from Michael Dally, thnfatber of John, and that Michael'ssecond wife was a servant In his (Mr. J. 0.G.

Tho colonel bad nothlog furtherto say about tbo matter.

Ho Immediately bad tho ibody preparedfor removal to bis father's housu, nnd Itwas Ir ought there at an early hour In theevening.

Mrs. Kennedy was prostrated by tboshock received at tbo news of her

death, and last night slio was dan-gerously 111. Tbo shock was severe uponher.

Miss Salllo Kennedy, her daughter, wasalto prostrated. Dr. Sowers ordered thattbo ladles le kept free from Interference.

Sergt. Connolly waited about tbo front oftbo bouse, and Informed the many callersof tbo dangerous Illness of tbo ladles.

Tbe meet distressed peoplo wero thoseliving on N street. In tbe Immediate vicinityof tho deceased's residence. He was appar-ently very much beloved by them all. Hoseemed to bo favorlto with the children,and last night a llttlo girl burst outcrjtng In front of tho bouse whensbo lcarnrd about her aged friend's saddeath. Ills last gift to ber was that of apretty bouquet, wblch, bo bauded to heryesterday as bo was about to loavo for bisofllcc. Many beautiful acts of kludncsswero beard of last night wblch tho deceasedbad done, showing tbo truo Christian char-acter of tho man.

On tho 1st of April, ISSfl. Mr. and Mrs.Kennedy celebrated tbo fiftieth anniversaryof tbclr married life, an Interesting accountof wblch was printed In tho National

Adolph Neubcck, a brightboy. said be saw Mr. Kennedy fall. "Hohad bis back to me. I heard him cry, andsaw blm pull the knlfo out of tbe woundhlmeclf. I saw his entrails and tho bloodrunning down over his shoes Insido hiscUtbcs. I heard Dally say 'I did It,' andsaw n couplo ot mon catch hold of htm."

John I.ec, a colored lad, Is another wit-ness, and bis account ot tbo affair agreessubstantially with tbe others.

Aloczo Wheeler, a colored youth, saw therccurrencc.and tho talo bo tells Is ono withthe so already givsn.

Mr. II. II. Bird, an employe In Mr. Thorn'soffice, which adjoins that ot Mr. Kennody.said last nlgbt : "Mr. Kennedy cams In tbeoffice about 4 o'clock. I asked blm It thoAttorney General, who usually comes Inevery evening, had been there yet, nnd hesaid, 'Oh, yes; he's beat here and gone.' Iwent to my dinner, and when I camo backabout G o'clock I noticed a great crowd, andasked 'what Is tho sensation.' They saidMr. Kennedy's been murderel. I askedIf It was old Mr. Kennedy, nud somobodysaid 'Yes.' There was great excitement,but tbe story as near as I could get it wasthat tbo man suddenly camo up and with-out a slnglo word stabbed blm In tbo side.Mr. Kennedy was a mighty nlco man."

Lieut. Guy said that tbo prisoner was onoof thoio Indolent fellows, bait crank andhalf convict, who wouldn't work and who,mien tnoy couldn't got what tacylmaglnolthey ought to have, got mad and made uptbi Ir minds to make troublo with somebody,

Dally bas something of a police record.A ytar ago bo was arrested tor throwing aIrlck nt a man when acting under tbe hal-

lucination that tho man was a priest whombo thought bad poisoned blm.

A prominent cltUcn called at tbo llzpuciican ofllco last ovcnlng, and In talkingPTcr tbo murder condemned tho laxity ofthe enforcement of law In tbo District. Houbs very severe In his comments, andfinally turst out with tbo oxclamatlon :

"I am willing to be one ot fifty to go upand take that rascally scoundrel out ot tbeetatlon and bang him to a lamppost. Itbo Is not bung beforo midnight bo neverwill bo strung up for tbls horrlbln crlmo."

Tbls Gentleman, who is an Intimate friendot tbe Kennedy farallv, had Just como fromtbo homo ot tbo murdered man. He saidtbo family w era very reticent to talk abouttbe crime.

Mr. Chapman Harris, ouo of tho wit-nesses summoned by the police, said to aISei'Piiuoan reporter last night : "I did uotsto Dally stab Mr. Kennedy, but I beardtbo wounded man cry 'Ohl Ohl' I turnodand saw Dally get up; bo bad fallen withbis victim, apparently from the force ottbo bluw, and wbcu I first saw blm be wasIjlcg partially across Mr. Kennody."

Several gentlemen about tbo city told othaving heard of Daily's making threatsagainst Mr. Kennedy, and tho murder wasundoubtedly tbo culmlnttlon ot thosotbu ate.

A ItEPMiLtcAN reporter called at Dr.Sunderland's houso last nlgbt and foundtho lick ninn lu tbe parlor, somewhat

and fully expecting to bo out In afen da) s. His attack was due, beyond udoubt, to tho great strain his mind andbody were put to during tlio Todd trial.

Speaking ot the statement published Inen cunlng paper ou Saturday on preju-diced mcmbira ot tbo court and ot tbo stxwho voted "guilty," Dr. Sunderland

that ho could certainly haveono of them from sitting ns a

Judge In tbu case, but concluded to snarehim, and inKo tne risi; ot tno result.

There bating been much comment by tbopublic generally on the evidence and tbovctdlet, tbo reporter went around to thehome of ouo ot Washington's most promt-r.tn- t

Jurists a man with a national repu-tation for bis legal ability aud requestedan opinion on tbe case nnd Its merits.

"Itcmembtr, though," said tbo ecrlbowarnlugly, "this Is all 'deadhead;1 youenn't send In nny bill for tbls opinion "

"All right," was tbo icply, "tbls Is proheno publlio "

"Will," commenced tbo legal light, "Idon't know Mr. 1'odd, nor nm I acqaalntedwith his general refutation, but I have readearefull) tbu testimony as reported In theHtiuiiLicAN, aid that report, I ece, waatbo tifllclnl one."

Was there ever such anaffair? Sixth, tbo satisfactory accountleu by Todd ot his time from 8.4 to

dict of 'not guilty.' To treat tho negroTurner as a truo witness, but not corrob-orated by others, was not Justified by tbofacte, and tbo verdict must bavo been ren-

dered on outside Inlluencce of which I knownothing."

"What do you tblnl: of tho gcueral con-

duct of tho trial t" askod tho reporter."A llttlo loose, of courso, on some points,

lookliig at It from a strictly Ictral point ofvlesy, but as an ecclesiastical court It wasadmirable. Dr. Cbllds's prosecution wasritoail.ubly strong sfbcu wo consider tbcf.'Ct that ho bad aluolutyly no preparation,wblle Dr. Sunderland's defiusu Is deserv-ing of tbc warmest commendation.
