ASSAILANT KEEPS HAPPY
Indictment for Mahoney, Who
Tried to Kill Mayor, TO
BE Asked To-day.

Corporation Counsel Folk, who was shot
Friday afternoon by n man who aimed to
hill Mayor Mitchell. Is improving in New
York Hospital. 1t was said there yester-
day that no sign OF infection has APP
peared in the wound. The surgeon in
charge believed that Mr.. Polk could leave
the hospital in week or perhaps sooner.
4 good many callers at the hospital

sages of good Will. but Mr. Polk saw only
one visitor. Collector OF the Port Malone.
He remained with Mr.. Polk a short time
and found the patient comfortable and
cheerful Mrs. Polk spent the day with
her husband.
George McAneny. President OF the
Board Of Aldermen, left his card. Another
visitor was Hamilton Fish. II was said
that when Mr.. Polk gets out OF the hos
pital he will not be d,sfgured. The wound
in the mouth, the doctor explained, was a
perforation and at most would leave a
small scar.
Those who have watched Michael Ma
honey, the old man who fred the shot
and is now In the Tombs under $4,000

to test his sanity, agree with District At
torney Whitman and Police Commits
sioner Woods that the man is probably
insane.
Mahoney has very little TO do with the
other prisoners. He did not 20 to church
services yesterday morning. but took his
exercise with the others at 10 o'clock in
the morning and again In the afternoon
During the exercise periods several pris-
oners spoke to him and Mahoney answered
them, but did not go into any lengthy
conversation.
The old ian seems to have little con-
Germ over his attempt TO kill the Mayor.
He sleeps we'll and his appetite is good.
Yesterday he read newspaper and ate
some oranges which a good hearted Keeper
gave him. His longest talk was with
Keeper Patrick Crowley. Crowley came
from the same town In Ireland that Ma
honey did-Middletou, near Cork.
They talked about the village as each
remembered IL and Mshoney asked the
keeper if he remembered the Shea
brothers
You mean the Sheas who have lum.

said.
Crowley recalls the Shea brothers as
prosperous and highly thought OF lumber
dealers.
The Tombs authorities are keeping a
close watch over their prisoner to see
that he does no harm to himself and 10
keep him from molestation by other pris-
oners
The next move in the matter will come
tomorrow, when District Attorney Whit
man will, ask for an Indictment and will
then request Judge Mulqueen OF General
