Believes Gallagher Crazy.
With utter disbelief that any man In
his right mind would deliberately seek
his life, Mayor Gaynor announced
through his son Rufus that he did not
wish James J. Gallagher prosecuted.
The mayor peared confident OF his
recovery and charitably said that so
long as the attempt had failed he
merely wished Gallagher to be examined
as to his sanity.
cit is fathers belief, as we'll as my
own said young Gaynor. "that Gal
lagher is insane, and father would
rather have the man adJudged a luna
tic if he is. than to prosecute him for
the shooting
"I know my father never wishes to
see Gallagher and that he will shrink
from appearing against him He is
not willing to believe that any sane
man would strike him down in so cow
ardly a manner ms this man did last
Tuesday morning.

well on the road 80 recovery.
Bulletins from st. Mary IS hospital in
Hoboken throughout the day continued
most optimistic. The mayor manifested
an interest in outside affairs and was
anxious about conditions ut the city
hall. He appeared fairly strong and
was laxative to an extent. He joked
with the nurse and with his private
secretary, Robert Adamson, who said:
Quick Recovery Expected.

is nothing for him but to pet bit of

The mayors Is appetite is excellent and
his condition so greatly improved that

1iet of soft boiled eggs, coffee and tea,
along with the customary beef and
chicken broth.
"Do they think I am in training for
