Good Chance Now for Recovery of the
Plucky Policeman.
John Gaffney, of Noroton. father of' ‘
Policeman William FrGaffne‘y. of New
«York. who was critically injured in a
runaway accident there, Tuesday af-
ternoon. said yesterday that his son
was doing nicely now in the Harlem
Hospital. and hopes for his recovery
are stronger. At first it was thought
that the young man-——he is only 24
years of age—~w0uld die. for his skull
was thought to be fractured. and he
scented to suffer intently from internal
injuries. Mr. Gaft’ney says that the
doctors now disagree us to the frac-
turc of the skull, and an examination
will be made under the X-rny today,
to determine the extent of the injuries.
The inward pain is disappearing. and
no serious internal trouble is looked
for.
The oillcer received considerable
credit from the press of New York for
his gallant act of jumping at the bri-
dle of a lust-running horse which was
dashing madly through the crowded
'i‘hirli avenue shopping district, near
122m street. lie succeeded in stopping

been beaten twice before by

made unnecessary when Plank won

was loudly cheered when he said:
"i have nothing but contempt *for a

either ignorant of the game or voices
the dictates of a corrupt conscience.
l have been the recipient of fraternal
