Pittsburo, July 21. — The announcement that Patrick Gallagher has retracted his "confession" has created a great ileal of (jcclteoieut and comment. There is considerable speculation as to why Gallagher made the statement he did Wednesday, but the most plausible reason given is that he thought the Knights of Labor would have enough influence to secure his pardon. However, the story that Davidson went back ou Gallagher seems to have settled him, and he decided to reiterate the statement ho mude on the witness stand at the time Dempsey was convicted, Yesterday afternoon (Jallagher requested the presence of Warden Wright at his cell in the penitentiary. The warden responded at once. Since the attorneys for Dempsey have put in their application for pardon they will have to go through with it. If they withdraw it they would have as much trouble in the future to get a re-hearing as if they go through with it now and are refused. Warden Wright immediately notified District-Attorney Burleigh and Attorney Porter by telephone, and they hurried to the penitentiary. Gallagher said: "Warden, I have been in h all night, and wish to.say to you now that the confession made by me yesterday was all a hatched-up scheme, and that I was dragged into it. I wish now to retract everything that was said iu that confession and wish you would send for the attorneys interested, as I will decline to sign the confession." After a three hours' talk with Gallagher District-Attorney Burleigh came out and said that Gallagher had declared under oath that every statement he made Wednesday was absolutely false, and that he, Dempsey, Boatty and Davidson were guilty as Indicted. Ho broke down and cried like a child. VICill.ANCK IN THK METUOPOI.IS.
