In 1908 he was sentenced to the New York City Reformatory. In 1911, under the name of James Burns, he was sentenced by Judge Rosalsky to the Penitentiary for petit larceny, In 1912 he was sen- tenced to the Penitentiary again. In 1912 Judge Swann, now District At- torney, sentenced him to Sing Sing for from one to seven years for burglary. In 1916 he was accused of burglary and tried in the Bronx, but escaped punishment on a suspended eentence.. A few months later he was sentenced to Sing Sing by Judge Rosalsky for three years. In May of this year Judge McDermott of the County Court, Brooklyn, sent him to Sing Sing for a term of from five to ten years for burglary. Regan's story is connected enough, | ° but the .prosecution regards it with suspicion. At the suggestion of Judge Rosalsky, Dr. M. B. Hyman of the Manhattan State Hospital for the In- sane and Dr. William V. Garrison, a noted alienist, were summoned by the District Attorney at noon to-day to examine Regan as to his mental state.
