when an adjournment was taken at

Gagan's Only Defeat.
Gagan's legal career was reviewed,
and il WAS said he had won five OF the
six homicide cases which have been
tried i'm Rockland County since he be-
came District Attorney, his only defeat
coming in the Cleary case.
Seeger said the testimony OF some oi
the witnesses not found by Gagan
would not have changed the verdict
"onc iota."
The entire fourteen counts in the
charges were gone over. Mr.. Seeger
said letters from Justice Morschauser.
VINO presided at the trial, and Justice
Mills. who swore in the grand jury.
would be read in Gagan's behalf.
At the morning session a woman
newspaper reporter testified ,hat on
November 2, 1914, Anna Cleary New
man told her that Cleary knew of the
marriage prior TO the murder. and
that Gagan had time, after the publica-
ton of the story, to get Anna to TESTIFY
to this fact. 1t was also testified by
tn, reporter that Cleary, after his ac-
ouittal. said he was sure, on his second
day in iail. Re would be acquitted.
The only other witness OF the morn
ing was Michael McCabe, police JUS
tic. of Haverstrsw, who gave his yer-
sion of political conditions in Haver'
straw.

PNEUMONIA VICTIMS MANY
Week S Deaths from Disease
$50: 305 Last Year.

Pneumonia claimed many more VIC
Tins last week than during the CORE
sponding weeh i'm 1914. The weekly re
port issued yesterday by the Depart
mcnt OF Health shows that $50 died
from pneumonia during the week ended
March 27. 1915. while in the week ended
March 27. 1914. only 800 deaths were
due TO pneumonia.
The increase is connected with sud
den general increase in the prevalence
of influenza and grip, which proved
fatal in twenty-eight cases this year,
as against eighteen in 1914. The same
cause is thought to be responsible for
an increase OF nineteen in the number
OF deaths from pulmonary tuberculosis.
The mortality from other infectious
diseases was considerably less than in

Took Case in Good Faith.
Asked if he believed Mr.. Marshall
would pursue his announced intention

Sadc said he had nothing 70 fear on

they deemed sufficient before fling her

Prior to making a detailed statement
yesterday Miss Tanner declared that
she began to "see her mistake" last
Thursday afternoon while she was
waiting in the Office Of Commissioner

The girl was permitted to make her

great importance. As an attack upon
the horne Of citizen, / regard it as a
matter Of the greatest Importance, be-
cause the sacredness of the home IS

without there being grave reason TO

II regard this debauching of the

He danced around and pranced around
Full ten feet from the base,
To make the pitcher think he was
For second bout to chase.
Red Kelly threw the ball to first,
But Jim dived for the sack.
They couldn't catch him off the base
For he always got back.
OBrien now was at the bat.
He could hit anything,
And at the first ball tossed across.
He took a little bling.
Away the festive spheroid new;
Away went husky Vic.
You would have thought the way he
ran,
He ran from the old Nick.
And right ahead went Jimmie Gray,
A-stirring up the dust.
Just like motorcycle,
Or a well-developed gust.
And when the ball at last was found,
Jimmie was nursing third,
While Vic was safe on second
A-roosting like a bird.
With two men on and no one out
No one could ask for more.
The Pohonk rooters saw chance
For several guys to score.
OF course, there was an argument.
Arose just at this time.
There always is in crisises,
In every land and cline.

What it was. no one knew.
And no one could exactly learn,
What twas they wished to do.
But some wise guy up In the stand
Was on to every curve.
He said the fuss was just to give,
The pitcher man his nerve.

End Half LIST Inning.
The Slabville crowd went to the bat
They were an awful lot.
They didn't seem to be too good.
For any desperate plot.
OF course, they weren't villianous;
OF course. they were not mean
But homelier bunch on any team,
guess was never seen.
The first man sent up to the plate,
Was fielder Smokey Sam,
And he proposed to give the ball.
An everlasting lam.

He whisked away and whirled away,
At two balls far too wide,
Then hit a grounder to Mike Moon.
And at the first sack died.
Moon was the Pohonk's pitcher bold.
He struck out Tubby Ryan,
And Hank Simm's fly to center field.
Was caught by Vic O'Brien.
The Slabville rooters groaned aloud,
Mike Moon was in high glee,
He felt quite sure the other team,
His curves would never see.
1st Half End Inning.
SO Slabville went out In the field,
And Pohonk went to bat.
Big Jimmie Gray stepped to the plate.
Armed with lovely slat.
The smile he wore was curious,
The pose he struck was quaint.
His friends yelled, Hit it Jimmie.

He dropped upon the greensward.
AS II he were all in.
The women cried, IT'S awful"
And. mercy, it's a sin"
Big Jimmie lay there grooming.
And kicking up fuss,
And Shrimp Clark told the audience,
1T couldn't have been wuss."
The players gathered round him.
While Jimmy rolled his eyes.
He said that he could see six suns.
And half dozen skies.
Hes done for. sure" Mike Moon
opined.
HE won't live through the day."
"I'll break the sad news to his wife"
Herb White was heard to say.
play Bali" the lusty umpire cried;
That guy there takes his base"
And Jimmie staggered to his feet,
And mopped his swollen face.
He dragged himself along to first
It didn't seem just right
To keep a fellow in the game,
In such an awful plight.
But when he got down to the bag,
An instant change occurred,
And such complete recovery
Was seldom ever heard.

And SO 1t seemed for Kelly bold.
Had soon cooled down bit,
And boldly threatened not to give.
Pohonk another hit.
The Pohonk gang was Wild with glee,
All eyes were on Herb White.
The Pohonk ladies clapped their
hands
It was . lovely sight.
And Herbert made a vicious swing,
And landed on the ball.
He sent 1t up 50 high that It
Could not be seen at all.
Jim Gray dashed wildly for the plate.
O'Brien made for third.
The Slabville crowd quite gloomy
grew.
The Pohonk rooters cheered.
And then Runt Biggs in center neld.
A-rubbering In the air,
Espied the ball a-coming down
And after it did tear.
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1915-08-12

He got almost right under 1t.
He stuck out his left claw,
And miracle Of miracles
He caught it in that paw.
He hurled the ball to second base;
To third 1t then did stray.
While Slabville howled in fiendish glee,
At this fine triple play
Pohonk was sobered by this blow.
And staggered, too, no doubt,
For no one there had dreamed that
thus,
The whole side would get out.
