The Consolidated Water Company Of

had decided 70 tap the Croton equeduct

a water famine in Mount Vernon, although
Pocantico Lake was almost entirely dry

useless by the lack Of rain. Mount Yer

NOT SURE IN GAYNOR CASE
Jersey Grand Jury Advised to
Delay Gallagher Indictment.

Supreme Court Justice Swayze. of New
Jersey. is evidently not convinced that
Mayor Gaynor is a CouvalesCent. He ad-
vised the grand Jury at the opening of the
September term of the Hudson County court
Yesterday 20 refrain from finding an in
1ictment until the surgeons had assured
them that Mayor Gaynor was out of danger.
In fact. he advised the jury TO find indict-
rents against James Gallagher for carry
ing concealed weapons and for assault with
intent TO kill Commissioner Edwards.
Justice Swayze said nothing concerning
any information that he had relative to
Mayor Gaynor's physical condition. He
said:
81 strongly advise you not to find an in
ciCtment for the assault upon Mayor Gay
nor at the present time unless the surgeons
in attendance can assure you that there is
no poss bility of the wound resulting in
death within q year and day from the
time Of the assault. If you do find a bill
at the present term Il would be for assault
with intent to kill, and to this indictment
the prisoner might plead guilty and if il
subsequently became advisable to indict for
murder he would be in a position TO inter
pose the plea that he had already been
convicted of the act, and such a plea, even
If it should finally be held not TO be good.
would raise a debatable question.
In my Judgment, proper caution re-
qutreS that We do not act hastily in this
case. No harm can come from delay.
either to the prisoner or to the cause Of
public justice. and it is the part of wisdom
TO avoid. as far as possible. any difficult
legal questions which might arise. AS I
have said, however, If the surgeons in at
you that there is no possibility Of death re-
sulting from his wound within year and
day, then you should find two bills of in
dicunent against the prisoner, one for as
sauLt upon Mayor Gaynor and the other
for the assault upon Commissioner Ed
wards.
There is, however. another offence for
which the prisoner may properly be indict-
ed at the present time. He carried re-
volver; It must have been at some time con-
cealed in or about his clothes or person.
and for this carrying Of a concealed revoI-
yer he is indictahle. Were it not for a
doubt suggested to me some years ago in
another county. I should think it unneces-
saTy TO say more on the subject of this
crime. That doubt was whether the
weapon could be said to have been con-
ceaied, inasmuCh as no one saw It when
il was concealed. OF course if this were
a real difficulty i would be quite impossi-
bic 10 convict any one of carrying a con-
ceaIed weapon. You viii have no trouble
1 think. in lnferring that the weapon was
If there is evidence before you
that at one time it was not visible and at
a later time it was actually used

fatal accident IN the Erie tunnel and a
fatal fire In a Jersey City tenement.

Commissioner Baker gave out the fol-
lowing statement at Police Eeadquar-
ters after he had read the interview with
the acting Mayor,
So much has been published in the
newspapers within the last day or two
regarding a letter sent by me to the
acting Mayor and the letter not having
been made public, I am impelled to state
that I felt that the letter received by ma
from Acting Mayor Mitchell relative to
the vice and police situation in New
York called for reply from me. My
letter contained nothing but a straight
forward statement of my attitude and
Of the position Of the department as TO
conditions since the first Of August last,
and there was no intent whatever to
criticise or impugn the actions Of the
acting Mayor

Thought He Should Have Freedom.

I felt that. owing to my close associa-

Of last January in regard 10 police mat
ters. I fully understood his purposes and
knew to what extent he would give me
freedom Of action were he IN the Mayor s
chair. and having had considerable ex-
perience in the Police Department, felt
that my suggestions should be accepted
Later in the day Mr.. Bakers state
ment was shown TO Mr.. Mitchell, and he
replied by offering one letter, which he
chose out of & sheaf lying on his desk
which were all apparently connected
with the police situation.
The letter was q copy Of a message
dated early in August last from Mayor
Gaynor to Commissioner Baker, in which
three specific instances of police meth
DDS were criticised by the Mayor and
three specific transfers recommended as
remedies. Mr.. Mitchell offered no COM
nlent. but it seemed to be his idea that
the letter constituted a direct refuta-
ton Of Mr.. Bakers claim to close as
sociation with Mayor Gaynor in police
as his statement put it.
