TAKES IT ALL BACK
Gallagher tho Man Who Con-
fessed Wednesday.
RlTaAcIs MS CONFESSION
lie EseisesAses the Truth OF His Tcsti-
nAony On she TRIAL for Poison
tng--llis Motives.

PrrrsEusc. July 2o--At 1s3o o'clock
this afternoon Patrick Gallagher. the
eonfsrsor. requested the presercs OF
Warden Wright IT his cell IN the peni
tensiAry. Warden Wright responded
at once. Gallagher said: warden, !
have been Ia h. al night and wish to
say % you nov that the confession made
BY me Yesterday cxculpsting Dempsey.
Beatty and Davidson Was all = hatched-
up scheme. and that / Was dragged into
IL vish nov 10 rstract everything
that wa said in that confession and
vish you would send for the attorneys
interested. ~ l will decline 10 sign the
confession. Warden Wright imme-
diately notified District Attorney Bur
leigh and Attorney Porter by telephone.
aud they hurried TO the penitentiary
with ali haste. After q three hours
talk with Gallagher District Attorney
Burlcigh came out and said that Gala
CHER had declared, under oath, that
every statement he made yesterday was
absolutely false, and that he. Dempsey.
Beatty aud Davidson are guilty. as in
dicted. He broke down and cried like
child
Why He Retracted
Wardsn Wright says Gallagher had
big bundle Of manuscript. which he took
as the foundation Of his little speech
which was prepared for him on the out
side Of the penItentiary. and which he
told yesterday. There is considerable
speculation as to why Gallagher made
the statement he did yesterday. but the
most plausible reason given was that he
thought the Knights Of Labor would
have enough influence 10 secure him q
pardon However. the story that. David
son won't back on Gallagher seems to
have settled him and he decided to
rcitsrate the statement he made on the
witness stand at the time Dempsey was
convicted. Since the attorneys for
Dempsey have put in their application
for q pardon they will have to go
through with il. IL they withdrew il
they would have a. much trouble in the
future 10 get re- hearing as they would
IL they go through with it now and are
refused. When il became noised about
the court house that Gallagher had re-
tracted all he had said yesterday it
created much excitement and comment.

COOPER A LECHEROUS OLD MAN,
According to the Charge Made
by Mrs. Davis.
She Asserts He Made a Vile Assault
Upon Her Person.
The Old Man Locked Up in JaiI-He
Claims the Charge Is False.
The story as Told by
Mrs. Davis.

A brutal attempt at rape occurred
Thursday afternoon, and George Cooper,
builder, ia now in the county Jail,
charged with committing the offence.
The complaining witness is pretty
little widow. Mrs. Davis, who resides
at 224 East Third street.
Tue lady stated Yesterday, that on
Wednesday last she visited house ON
Oman avenue, which was in course OF
erection, and in company with lady
friend entered the building for the pur-
pose Of inquiring the rent.
Cooper was busy painting the foors
and stated that he was the proprietor OF
the house. After come conversation he
remarked that he would like to have
Mrs. Davis for a tenant, and told her he
would call next day at her residence and
inform her as TO what rent che would be
required to pay.
Thursday afternoon between and 8
o'clock Cooper knocked at the door and
was admitted by Mrs. Davis who at that
ime was alone in the house.
Cooper sat down, and after remarking
upon the inferior construction of the
cottage, expressed wish for Mrs. Davis
to show him over the house.
Not suspecting any treachery she COM
piled with his request, and after passing
through the sitting rooms the lady
pushed open the door of bedroom.
She was little in front OF Cooper and
no sooner had che opened the door, she
a'serts, than the brute pushed her
aside and closed the door.
Mrs. Davis. startled, turned round,
and Cooper seizing her threw her down
upon the floor and attempted the as
gsault complained of.
He had torn his victims clothing to
shreds and would have succeeded in his
designs, forsMrs. Davis is of slight and
delicate build, had not Mrs. Lester, a
next door neighbor, heard the noise and
rushed out.
Cooper heard the sound of approach
ing footsteps, and leaving the nearly in
sensible woman, went out the back
door.
Beyond some painful bruises Mrs. Da-
Wis escaped uninjured.
Cooper is a Misunderstanding old man
with one eye, and is apparently about
