Mayor Shooting Trial Sparks Insanity Question
Simpson of Jersey City, counsel for the prisoner, says a record check shows hereditary insanity. Gallagher, in custody after the mayoral shooting, reportedly cried that he shot to seek justice. New York will aid the Hudson county prosecutor as the case tests assault with intent to kill or murder charges. If convicted on assault, Gallagher faces possible life imprisonment or a large fine plus pardon Board uncertainty. Big Bill Edwards, Princeton football hero, was cheered by messages after subduing Gallagher. Yale’s De Saules and others sent cables praising Edwards and Gaynor’s leadership drew global sympathy and well wishes for the mayor’s recovery.
