fired more than one shot or Hot, ,
"Knowing Mayor Qaynor was going to
Europe this morning to enjoy himself after
depriving me of my bread and butter, 'not
porterhouse steak,' 1 was irritated to the
point of committing the act.
"The revolver you show me Is the one
I did the shooting with. I have had this
revolver a long time in my possession. 1
carried it when I Was In the employ of
the city."
Gallagher seemed remarkably cool while
making this statement, to which he affixed
his signature. . . . - ' ,.
Detective Sergeant A. B. Closter arrived
at Gallagher's boarding house at about a
quarter before eleven and went at once
to Gallagher's room.
The, room, which- is a small one on the
third floor, was much littered up. Several
medicine bottles were in : evidentce and It

him. The man struggled te continue the
firing up to the time he was disarmed. .

The police had hearl that the mayor waa

Mrs. Gaynor bore up well.
Commission Thompson of the department
of water supply,, gas and electricity,' who
left the mayor' side during the noon hour,
said that the patient waa bearing up
bravely. Mr. Thompson waa standing
within two feet of the mayor when the
shots were fired.
"When the mayor waa 'shot," said Com
missioner Thompson, "he placed his hand
over the wound and said: 'Isn't this a pity,'
then he calmly asked to be taken to his
stateroom."
Details of the Crime.
They were standing on the port aide of
the vessel, near the promenade deck for
ward, and were In the act of posing for a
group photograph when Gallagher, unno
ticed, pushed his way almost to the
mayor's side and fired point blank at his
head.
He, used a ,38-caliber revolver and an ex
amination later disclosed that the first
cartridge had missed fire. This probably
saved the mayor's life, for Gallagher, when
he first pulled the trigger, was less than
two foet away. Backing off slightly In his
excitement, he pulled the trigger a second
time and sent a bullet crashing Into the
mayor's neck below the ear.
William H. Edwards, commissioner of
street cleaning and the former Princeton
foot ball star, lunged forward and his 800
pounds. Just as Robert Adamson, ' the
mayor's secretary, struc'- Gallagher's arm.
As he did so a second shot pierced Ed
wards' sleeve, inflicting a slight flesh
Aound on the commissioner's right arm,
which remained unnoticed for hours be
cause of the excitement.
Unmindful of his wound, Edwards hit the
man a crashing blow In the face and they
fell to .the deck together, Gallagher strug
gling with thi strength of desperation and
pulling viciously at the trigger In an at
tempt to fire another shot.
Rains Blows on GfUlaahrr. .
Edwards rained blow after blow ,ln Galla
gher's face while Adams and Archibald R.
Watson, corporation counsel for the city,
flung themselves on the struggling two In
an attempt to grasp the weapon.- When
Mr. Watson had obtained possession of It,
Edwards and Gallagher continued a bitter
struggle about the deck, Edwards now cry
ing and shouting In his anger and excite
ment and Gallagher panting and exhausted.
When completely subdued In the former
football star's vise-like grip, a pair of steel
nipper j were slipped on his wrlsU by a
special officer aboard the ship and he was
rushed through a hooting and threatening
crowd off the vessel.
During the struggle with the man who
had attempte dto take his life. Mayor Gay
nor, though badly wounded, and bleeding
from the mouth and nose, did not once lose
consciousness.
Does Not Fall When Shot.
The Impact of the bullet did not even
throw him from his feet, but he raised
hia hands to his eara and with his face
contorted with pain, he staggered In a daae
and leaned limply across the ship's rail
until Adamson came to hla assistance. Then
someone drew a chair to hia side, and Into
this the mayor sank with relief. A few
minutes later he was removed to a state
room, where the ship's surgeon tempor- i
arily bandaged the wound, preparatory to
hia removal to St. Mary's hospital.
Rufus Gaynor, a son, was the only mem
ber of the mayor's family present when he
was shot. His wife and other children wer
at the Gaynor country place at St. James,
Long island. When Mrs. Qaynor was
notified by' telephone of the tragedy she
made a spectatular run by automobile, ac
companied by her son Norman, croaaed the
Queensborough bridge to Manhattan, sped
aross the Island to the Hudson river and
was taken to Hoboken In a police patrol
boat. She was almost overcome when ahe
reached St. Mary's hospital and waa per
mitted to see her husband for but a mo
ment. FROM TAFT AND ROOSEVELT
