In August, 1895, he bad charge of the salesroom of the legal blank de- partment, and recollected the fact that on printing department 5000 acknowledg- ment blanks, the phraseology of which differed from those of any other form that had been printea by that estabiishment.

Dr. Gallagher made an autopsy on the body of Bartholemew Ahearn, the watch- man for the old residence of the late Peter Donahue, corner of Second and Bryant streets, and found that the deceased came to his death by being suffocated by illu- minating gas. Ahearn slept in the building and his body was found on May 4 disrobed and Iying on the floor. It was thought and reporied at first that his death was from natural causes, the persons who discov- ered the body having shat off the gus and allowed it to escape from the builuing be- fore the Coroner’sdeputies arrived, Hence the cause of deatb Wwas believed to have been heart disease until Dr. Gallagher had made the auiopsy.
