Caravan predicted that the trial
of Gallagher would begin early
next week. He said:
1--WE expect an indictment
against Gallagher on charges OF
assault with intent to kill. The
penalty is a maximum sentence OF
20 years Imprisonment. We shall
ask for the extreme penalty as
under the communication law, the
sentence would amount to II years
only with good behavior. so>l
"A change for the worse in
Mayor Gaynor's condition prohab-
ly would delay the prosecution, of
his assailant.
There will be no difficulty in IN
dieting Gallagher. We have his
own signed statement confessing
the crime
A REMARKABLE FEATURE.
The hospital physicians examined
the X-ray photographs of the wound
and agreed not to remove the bullet
unless symptoms of infection devel-
oped. They declared that the most
remarkable feature Of the shooting
was that the bullet ended it's course
where it did not yet did not sever
any blood vessels.
In order to remove the pieces OF
lead they must cut through veins
and arteries. This probably would
cause weakness through loss OF
blood and would be critical at a
time when every ounce of strength
IS needed to resist the shock caused
by the wound.
The physicians announced that
they would hold a consultation at
noon and adopt plan of treatment.
TREMENDOUS INTEREST.
Every bulletin issued by the doc
tors Is awaited by a tremendous
crowd that has surrounded the hos
pital since Gaynor was taken to the
building from the Hoboken pier. De-
tails of police have been assigned
to handling the throngs and al
though the crowd Is orderly every
effort is made to keep the people
quiet when favorable bulletins are
issued.
The authorities have shut off
traffic on Willow avenue for dis
lance Of one block each way from
the hospital. MotOrmen trimmings
cars in the vicinity of the building
have been ordered not to sound
their gongs and to run at slow
speed. The street directly in front
of the hospital is kept clear and
only silently moving automobiles
are allowed to approach the doors.
Nearly every person prominent In
New York social and political life
has called at the hospital to leave
cards and express sorrow for the
mayor.
GAYNoR's TWIN BROTHER.
