JERSEY CITY, Aug. 10.-Prosecutor
Pierre Garven, OF Hudson county, to-
day began the preparation of his case
against Gallagher. Mr.. Garven said:
THE grand jury has not wound up
its current session or 1 would have to
wait until the last of September to ask
for Ga1lagher's Indictment.
There will be no trouble in indicting
Gallagher. as we have plenty Of wit
nesses and the mans W confession.
According to my hastily formed
plan now. Gallagher will be on trial
not later than the first Of next week.
'"The trial win be a short one. Gala
CHER probably will be charged with as
sault. The penalty for this Is a maxi
mum of twenty years. Under u COM
mutation system, this means practi-
| cally a sentence of twelve years.
"Of course, the condition of Mayor
Gaynor may delay action, but from the
encouraging reports I have received
the mayor will be spared to u.s."

Gallagher, the would-be assassin, wa
carefully guarded in his cell in tn
Hudson county Jail all night to pre-
vent him from making any possible at
tempt at self-destruction. Gallaghe
shows no remorse for his attempt q
the life of Mayor Gaynor, and, IN fac
seems to regard himself as a hero. ]
is not unlikely that the grand Jur
of Hudson county may meet today ALI
draw an indictment against Gallashe
for felonious assault.
Il In the event of the Mayors death tn
indictment would be changed to
charge OF homicide.
