honey Be Sent to Matteawan Prison
for Criminal Insane.
LIFE ONCE SAVED BY
PRESENCE OF LADIES.

Hereafter by Eight Detectives.

New York, April 1S.--The condition
of Corporation Counsel Polk, who yes
terday was struck in the jaw by a
bullett intended for Mayor Mitchell of
New York, was reported satisfactory
today He rested well last night and
surgeons at the New York hospital said
he would be able to resume his duties

Michael p. MahOney was arraigned
today Off the shooting. He was charged
with assault with intent to kill. 1t
was believed he would be sent to the
asylum at Matteawan for the insane,
as Mayor Mitchell recommended this
course.
Mahoney," Said Mitchell today, "is
a rum soaked hobo, sodden, embittered
and probably insane. Except for his
advanced. years, he is characteristic
product of cheap whisky bars. He
might be imprisoned for 90 years for
the attack and this would mean life in
his case. ] believe it would be better
to send him to Matteawan.
"The shooting probably resulted
from the weakening of Mahone's mind
under heavy drinking | am satisfied
there was no conspiracy to take my
life. -
Mahoney paced his cell throughout
the night. he declared that he went
to the city hall once before to murder
Mitchell but the mayor emerged from
his office between two women.
"And man could not shoot down
another in the presence of ladies'" he
added.
Mayor Mitchell visited Polk at the
hospital early today. Hereafter eight
detectives will guard the mayor night
and day.
"It was close shave" said Mayor
Mitchell today, "an1 hereafter l don 7
propose to take any chances"
Mahoney told the polite today chat
he was reared in Newport Ky.
Mahoney was arraigned before
Magistrate Simms. He was held in
$4,000 bail for the action of the grand
jury. When Assistant District Attor-
ney Wider asked that the bail be fixed
at that amount, Mahoney grinned.
"Why don't you demand a little
higher amountp' he asked.
The shooting was described by Police
man Commissioner Wood, who left the
city hall with Mitchell and Polk.
81 reached this man." he said, "be.
fore he could fire a second shot. We
fell together on tue sidewalk and
Policeman Hume grabbed his revolver
The man said he wanted to shoot the
mayor"
Mahoney tried to cross-examine
Wood.

man who caught me first is confined
in jail at the order of the mayor"

honey's case Tuesday.

The finals were to be played for the
best three out Of five sets, and Board
man won three straight, easily. The

succeed in making 1t look like a close
match.
This afternoon Boardman Is playing
