back to the police station. A great
crowd awaited Gallagher's return to the
| station and the police had difficulty in
| getting their man through it to the door.
Men in the crowd taunted and jeered
{! him, but Gallagher didn't seem to mind
it. He looked straight ahead and
walked erect between his two attend
ants
The prisoner had not yet been meas
ured by the Bertillon system. and Ser
geant Gutheil escorted him to a rear
room of the station for that purpose.
He was partially stripped and told to
stand on a platform while the measure
ments were being taken.
"I am sorry for what you have done,
said Gutheil. az am sorry for you
IT thank you very much for your SYM

"Sorry-But 1t Had To Be Done"
Some one mentioned that Mayor Gay
nor's condition was very serious.

tective Sergeant Gutheil and Sergeant
Dennis Sullivan made the trip with him
In the patrol wagon shortly after ,
o'clock. Gutheil said that on the way
over Gallagher asked for another cigar
and demonstrated with the detectives
for taking those which he had had away
from him.
There were no signs of degeneracy
or insanity about Gallagher, in my
opinion" Gutheil said afterward. He
appeared like a normal man, except
that he seemed a little proud of the
notorety he was getting.
The prisoner was taken before Patrick
J. Sullivan, warden at the county Jail,
and Sullivan took his pedigree all over
again. After the usual bath given to
new arrivals. he was assigned to cell
No. A. in the main corridor, which is
next to "murderers' row. Gallagher
preserved his self-composure. Warden
Sullivan said that the prisoner reminded
him, in his actions. of Andrew McGrath,
who shot and killed Walter Ammon,
wealthy manufacturer of Jersey City. in
the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad station about
a year and a half ago. McGrath was adj

to an asylum for sthe criminal insane.

belief that his victim had impoverished
him in business.
