4 Poor Irishmen in Love With Nary Anderson
Locked up at The Central Station.
New YoRK, Nov. 15.-James NJ.
Dougherty, an awkard looking Irish
men from Salem, New York was
prisoner at police headquarters yester-
day. The charge against him is that
he has admired Mary Anderson, the
actress too ardentlY for his own good.
DR.. Griffin, Miss Anderson's stepfatl-
er, went to police headquarters on the
day after election and advised Inspec-
tor ByrneS Of Daugherty's pursuit of
the actress. He complained that the fell
low had prosecuted his Stepdaughter
with his attention for years and that
he had followed her to England and
preceded her to this country to con-
tinue his insane conduct. DIR. Griffin
feared that he might make scene and
asked the inspector to do something to
prevent it. A central Office detective
who was present when Miss Anderson
arrived from Europe saw Daugherty at
the steamer and kept him under sur
VIGILANCE until yesterday when he ar
rested him. He had in his possession
q loaded self cooking Al caliber revolt
yer which he said he intended to use to
protect himself against the actress
jealous suitors, who had conspired to
keep him away. from her. Inspector
Byrnes got at him in the presence of
| Miss Anderson and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION of his conduct. Daugherty
said that he first saw Miss Anderson
| at Elmira while performing in Lady
/ Of Lyons" six years ago and he felt
that her heart went out to him and that
It was case OF love at first sight on
his part. He tried to go to her on the
stage but was restrained. = She left
Elmira the following day and Daugh-
erty says he pursued her here
| and followed her to England, where he
bombarded her with letters and photo
graphs of himself. His money gave
| out and he returned here. He recrOssed
the ocean when his financial condition
permitted. He went to the play and at
| the fall Of the curtain on the first act,
! sought out his love. A lady came to
him from the stage, disguised and made
ready to fall into his arms. He believed
allowed the lady to fall, but not into
his arms. In the next act Miss An
-derson's sOrrowful looks convinced him
that he had missed the chance of his
| life, and he left the country in disgust.
| He had not been in America long be-
| fore he learned that Miss Anderson
was Ill and he passed back to England
with offers Of sympathy. He chased her
from London to Paris, back to London
and thence to Liverpool, where he had
an interview with her brother. The
interview made him happy and he re-
turned with full hope that he and Miss
Mary were to marry when she returned
from abroad. He said that his arrest
was, therefore, great surprise to him.
at the conclusion of his story Miss
Anderson told him she felt sorry for
him, but that she would not marry him
for the world. The poor fellow looked
surprised, but solemnly promised never
4 to trouble her if she did not make a
charge against him. Miss Anderson
begged the inspector to let the man go
but he declined to do so. He will have
Dougherty examined as to his sanity
