NEW YORK, Aug. 10-Street
Commissioner Big Bill Edwards who
oYerpowered Gallagher when he tried
to murder the mayor yesterday re
ceived a letter threatening his life
1t said that Edwards would be dead
in twenty-four hours. 1t was likely
from some crank.
The slight wound Edwards receiv
ed from Galligher's revolver, is moi
troubling him today.
Mayor is Cheerful.
HoBoKEN, n. J. Aug. 10.-It Il
stated to be remarkable that tht
bullet split in two parts and LODGED
without severing any importan
blood vessels.
A call was sent for all of the doc
tors in the case to meet at noon, AM
alter the meeting it was announces
mat the mayors condition was salts
factory and that no operation woul
take place at this time.
The mayor is very cheerful. Mrs
Saynor is constantly in attendanc
and the mayor jokes feebly nth hi
wfe and the nurses. Occasionally b.
seems to have difficulty in brecss..
ing This was declared to be due t
the presence of the bullet which sc
up slight irritation. He has no
mentioned his assailant since bein
laken to the hospital. He seems t
nave taken it for granted that the as
sault was made by an sSresponsibl
crank.
When the wounded man was assist
ed to sit up in bed he seemed quit
strong and Was very cheerful. H
asked to be permitted to see som
VI his friends, but the doctor woul
not permit IT, All traffic along tn
piock on Willow avenue, has bee
smut off with the exception of tn
!foiiey cars. Motormen on these hay
