Troy, April 2O.-After the life Of John
Morrissey was despaired OF. he said that when
his time came. he wanted TO die in this city. He
WIS brought here in accordance with that wish :
but he does not seem to be in the way Of dying
very soon. He had a relapse on Tuesday last
but on Wednesday he was better. and on Thurs
day he rode out with Mayor Murphy. who is an
old personal friend. The heart disease is his
most serious trouble. and 1t is regarded by his
physicians as incurable. although they say that
he may live for many years. His wife ia in
close attendance This was the home Of her fam
y. the Smiths. ne well Ms of Morrissev from his
hoyhood until his removal TO New York. and his
son. who died two years ago. WAS born here.
The little saloon that was his frst business ven-
tura. and which he kept under the name of
" The Ivy Green" until about fifteen years ago
Is still a saloon. II used 10 lie n rendezvous for
his friends. aud was the place Of several Of his
most severe rough and tumble fights. After he
went away IL fell into bad hands. and became
the resort OF thieves. 80 The Abbey" n country
hotel on the river side, midway between this city
and Lansingburg. has taken contrary turn
Of fortune since II was famous as Morrissey's
training quarters. 1t is now beautiful private
residence.
Morrisseys acquaintances here include good
share OF the adult population, and OF these many
are warm friends. The interest in his condi-

ESCAPED FROM AN ASYLUM.
JOHN GILL's INCARCERA TTON AFTER
SHOOTING HIS WIFE
Made Insane by Ills Intense JeaIousy-Hts
Violence Amer lie Had Been Married n
Few Years-shooting at Omcer klune.

Inspector Murray and Capt. Byrnes, as
sisted by Officer Pell Of Poughkeepsle. have
been looking for John Gill. wealthy master
mason and builder who escaped ten days ago
from the Hudson River Asylum for the Insane.
in which he had been confined under an order
Of Court for suspected insanity.
Mr.. Gill was we'll known in this city. He
built many Of the finest public buildings In the
State. his last work being tho construction OF
the Kingston Court House. He became crazy
through jealousy. His first wife died several
years ago. and in 1876 he made the acquaintance
Of young and beautiful girl. many years his
junior. whom he subsequently married. The
young wife was devoted to her husband. and
for Il time he appeared to be very happy. In a
short time. without any cause on her part. his
conduct toward her changed. and he became
intensely jealous Of her. He at length grew 80
violent that she was afraid he would take her
life. and she went to live in the family OF Mr..
Frank Otis at Bellport. l.. I. One day while she
was strolng through the grounds with Mrs.
Otis. Mr.. Gill suddenly confronted them. and
before the frightened ladies' could escape he
shot his wife twice. the bullets lodging in hcr
shoulder and back, innicting, wounds from
arrested and the Grand Jury indicted him. The
trial OF the case nj Riverhead excited much In
terest. Mr. Gil's lawyer nut in pleo Of insan-
iiy. and Mr.. Gill WIS sent tO the Hudson r YER
Asylum. While there he cvinced no evidence
of mental disorder until several months ago.
when Police OfIlrer Klune and his wife, Of this
city. went 10 visit Mr.. Gill In the asylum by his
request. The klunes we're related to Mrs. Gl
and Mr. Gill received them with a grent show Of
iriendliness. Something that occurred during
the visit again aroused Mr.. G.ll's Jealousy and
when the Klunes returned To the city he fol-
lowed them by stealth and shot twice at Officer
Kune.
On the 18th Of April Mr.. Gill was permitted
to 20 down 10 the banks OF the Hudson for an
