Some sixty labor organizations have

adopted by the bootblacks, which de-
clare that Mayor Gavnor is the best
friend the poor men has ever had in
City Hall, and ne has done more for
the bootblacks in six months than any,

Mayor Gaynor's assallant, James J.
Gallagher, is achieving d reputation as
an unsual prisoner. According to his
Jailers, he refers to his act now with
regret and makes no attempt to
Justify himself. When he read in the
papers that his lawyer might elect 10
pepare a defense of insanity for him
he didn't seem to relish the idea.

you out to be crazy these days" was
his comment to his warder, IF you

SEEK RELATIVES
OF MAN WHO SHOT
GIRL AND HIMSELF
Believe Suitor Who Nearly
Caused Double Tragedy Is
Philadelphian.

Following the attempted murder of
Miss Isabelle Shay. who lives at "
Green street, the police are endeavor-
ing today to locate the relatives nf
John Howard. the alleged wou:d-be
murderer who. after the assault,
turned his gun upon himself and fired
bullet into his heart He is said to
have lived in Philadelphia.
Howard trailed Miss Shay and her
escort, John Weiss. to 72 Green street.
where the girl had gone to get parcel
He waited on the street while she left
Weiss in the carriage outside. For five
minutes ne carried in his hand. half
hidden by his sleeve. the pistol with
which he intended to kill her. A wom-
an who keeps a little delicatessen store
near by saw the weapon and tried to
warn the girl, but Howard directed a
gesture of threat towards her and she
was afraid.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1910-08-13
Shooting Deliberate.

The shooting took place just before 7
o'clock. Several persons say they saw
Howard walk calmly down the street
from Mulberry street and stop in front
of the delicatessen store which is next
door to the Sh1y house. Weiss sat in
a buggy waiting for Miss Shay to come
downstairs. Howard also waited. He
had a gun in his hand, hidden up his
sleeve.
He had waited, perhaps, Ave minutes
when Miss Shay came lightly down the
steps and crossed the sidewalk to step
into the buggy. Howard took two
steps forward, lsised one arm and took
deliberate aim. His hand was shaking
and he was white with emotion.
The gun spat three bullets in quick
succession. and the girl turned and ran
across the street. Weiss. terror
stricken. struck the horse with the
whip and drove away. Howard fol-
lowed and fired one shot as he ran.
Then he turned and saw Patrolman
Foran running towards him from the
corner of Mulberry and Green streets.
He stopped short. lifted the gun to his
forehead and paused a moment. Then,
as if thinking better of 1t, he shifted
the revolver from his head to his left
breast and fired. 1t was the fifth and
last cartridge.

Revolver Empty.
|, Foran was upon him in almost an
instant Howard pressed the muzzle
of the gun on the bluecoats breast and
pulled the trigger on the empty cart
ridge chamber. A moment later he
fell back dead.
Weiss meantime had recovered his
composure and drove back where Miss
Shay was leaning against q wall
across the street from her dead suitor.
He helped her into the vehicle and
drove to the Office of DR.. Walter
Baker, of $50 Mulberry street. Two of
the shots had taken effect in her right
arm. but she was not dangerously hurt
Weiss had not been hit by the bullet
Howard sent crashing his way.
When the City Hospital ambulance,
responding to a. hurry call, arrived at
the scene the ambulance surgeon pro-
nounced the man dead.
Miss Shay, who lives with her Wild
owed mother atN33 Chestnut street, had
charge of the rooms in the Green street
house. Howard, the neighbors say,
came to room at the house last May
and made love to the girl within a
week. Miss Shay says that she repelled
his advances, but Mrs. Illingworth said
last night that he often called on Miss
Shay and brought delicacies to her.
The one-sided courtship continued un-
til about three weeks ago, when How
ard left Newark to go to Philadelphia,
his native city. He returned a week
ago. but stayed only day and night,
and then went to New Haven, Conn.
There he wrote several letters and post
! cards to the young woman. which. she
says. were unanswered.
Returned to City.
! Thursday night he came back to
Newark, and called at the Green street
| house. Mrs. NJ. L. Braekbill, who lives
on the first floor. was sitting on the
stoop when he called. and she says
! that Miss Shay met Howard at the
door and told him he could not come in
| Yesterday morning he followed Miss
Shay to her home, her mother said
last night, keeping on the other side of
| the street, however. In the afternoon
he called her up on the telephone and
asked if he might call in the evening.
Miss Shay told him finally that he
could not call.
| you had better see me or you will
regret it." he is credited with saying.
Miss Shay hung UP the receiver and
thought no more of the incident Yes

with her work at the Friedman Office

! tailor's and Mr.. Weiss volunteered to
drive her there in q buggy which he
