Thirty seconds after the shot rang out
the pier gates had been shut and the
| gangplank of the ship drawn-in. 1t was
not until the officers were sure of the
capture of Gallagher that the gangplank
was again run out, and then it was only
kent out until the stay-at-homes could
get ashore and run out twice again, once
| to let Gallagher off with his captors, and
again to let the Mayor be taken to the
waiting ambulance. Five minutes after
! the Mayor was ashore the lines were
cast off and the big ship was under way,
fifteen minutes late on her sailing sched-
ule
| The diversion effected by the call for
q doctor for the Mayor had let Edwards
make sure of his prisoner, and Gallagher
was soon being crowded through the
mob of passengers with Edwards behind
| him, twisting the handouts and TWO
special officers close on the trail GAIA
| CHER was taken to Commissioner Ed
wardss automobile, which was waiting
| at the end of the pier, and in 1t rusheo
to the Hoboken police station.
Edwards Holds On To Prisoner
| Commissioner Edwards never let go
of Gallagher until he landed him in the
| Hoboken police station, under the City
Hall, and literally dragged him before
! Recorder McGovern, who holds court
! across the hall. otto Schmolinshi, a
vratchman on the pier, a special ponce
man and a newspaper man were also in
| the car.
| The prisoner had the old-fa shioned
| "nippers' on his wrists, which Commits
sioner Edwards got from Degner, the
special officer and put on the subdued
man on the steamer. One side or Cal
! Iagher's face and his nose were badly
cut and bruised as a result of his pun
melting after the shooting, and he had
lost his tie in the scuffie. He appeared
TO be the coolest man in the little court
room, and even smiled while the Record
er went through the perfunctory exami-
nation.

"Who fired your" broke in Commits

"No," replied Gallagher slowly, the
Mayor didn't fire me. 1t was Commis'
sioner Tomkns."
At that point Recorder McGovern sug-
gested that Gallagher be remanded AND
locked up temporarily until the condl-
ton of Mayor Gaynor was ascertaiheo'
which would materially influence the
formal charge to be made against him.
