New York, Sept. 20.-Mayor Gaynor

Post, tells in an interesting manner
of his impressions at the time he was
shot on the steamship Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse.
The mayor says that he has not
read line of what has been publish
ed of the shooting nor does ehe now
remember the name of the man who
shot him. After going over the Incl
dent of the shooting and describing
the sensations following the infection
of the wound, he wrote:
Il was not a bit afraid to die, if
that was Gods Will of me. l said to
myself, just as well now as a few
years from now. No one who con-
templates the intensity of Almighty

feeling for some weeks that l might

nous threats 1 was getting by mail.

Mayor Gaynor in the letter scored
several newspapers for the manner in
which they had attacked him, saying:
Such journalism is, of course, in
absolute defiance of the criminal law,
and it did not enter my mind to pub
iicly call on the grand juries and the
district attorney to protect me from
it. l was weak, and feared people
would say l was thin-skinned But
the time is at hand when these jour
nalistic scoundrels have got to stop
