And when he did leave, with a Greenwich Gardener to Face Deportation Threat Hartford, Sept. 9.—(UP)—Patrick Gilroy, a Greenwich gardener, today raced the possibility of separation from his wife and 13-months-old daughter because immigration offi- cials claim he cntered the United States illegally from the Irish Free State in 1924. If Gilroy is ordered deported after a hearing scheduled for September 24, he faces the necessity of leav- ing his family or taking them at his own expense to a country strange to them.
