see the warden on the way back to the
city. There is nothing significant in our
call
The warden was evidently expecting
his visitors and was waiting for them in
his Office when they appeared: He hur-
ried out to meet them and ushered them
into his office as soon as they arrived.
He was evidently pledged to secrecy and
refused to discuss the report that the
visit was due to a development when
has led the New York police to believe
that some one else was implicated with
Gallagher in shooting Mayor Gaynor.
Adamson's Conference Recalled.
Deputy Commissioner Bughers visit
TO the Jail was considered all the more
| significant in view of the conference
which was held at Police Headquarters
| in this city on Saturday night, when
Robert Adamson, Mayor Gaynor's pri-
waite secretary: Water Commissioner
! Thompson. Police Lieutenant Kennel,
| from the Mayors office, and w. B. Me-
loney, the Mayors executive secretary,
were in conference with Inspector Rus
sell who is in charge of the detective
bureau. for some time.
| When asked yesterday at st. Mary's
Hospital, in Hoboken. about Saturday
nights conference, Secretary Adamson
said he was not in position to discuss
the affair. He said that If anything was
said about the purpose of the visit to
Police Headquarters it would have to
come from Inspector Russell.
The head of the detective bureau,
| however, would not go further last
night than to intimate that the police
were making some kind of an investi-
CATION in connection with the attempt
| on the Mayors life.
Haven't a word to say about the
conference Saturday night said In
spector Russell. There is nothing
ready yet. nothing TO be said now, and
1 don't know when there will be-"
Say Gallagher Had Confederate.
| From another source it was under
stood that the police are working on
the theory that Gallagher had a con-
federate It was said that suspicion
rests on a man whose picture was in
the Rogues' Gallery
Acting Mayor Mitchell and Secretary
Meloney called at the City Hall yester-
day noon and. soon left in Deputy Com
missioner's Bugher's automobile for st.
Mary's Hospital. Before their arrival
three detectives from Police Headquar-
tiers We're waiting in the anteroom
They received some instructions before
the acting Mayor started for the hos
pital, and left the building.
The prisoner Gallagher experienced a
religious turn of mind yesterday and at
tended divine services twice during the
day in the small barren room, with its
worn benches, which serves as the{Hud-
son County Jail chapel. The early morn
ing service, at s o'clock. was conducted
by the Rev. Father Downs, the Roman
Cotholic priest who holds services every
Sunday at the Jail Gallagher sat alone
on a bench in the rear of the room al
the morning service, with the apparent
desire to avoid the other prisoners
Warden Sullivan said that Gallag CHER
| followed the service intently. and al
times was visibly affected. He bowed
his head in his hands, the warden said
and wept some of the time. Gallagher
. told the warden afterward that the ser
vice brought back to him q feeling OF
earlier days when he was a young mar
> and the world looked bright to him. He
sat in his cell depressed and broodine
for several hours after the service, his
/ keepers said.

= that Gallagher usually sleeps until

for a pipe of tobacco Considerable to
bacco has been sent to the Jail for him
but he is not allowed to use the Tobacco

No acquaintance or relative of Gal
lagher. it appears, so far has called a
the Jail to see him. Several women hav
: appeared at the jail and asked to Sc
him. but none of them has claimed re
3 lationship to him, and they were,
S seems, led to visit him merely out o
curiosity.
