Pittsburg.—The Carnegie. hero fund
commission this afternoon announced
26 more heroes and heroines.
Not by any means least among them
Is William H. Edwards, commissioner of
street cleaning of New York, who gets
a silver medal for his bravery on board
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse on the
morning of August 9 last, when Mayor
Gaynor was shot.
In explaining why Big Bill gets this
medal, tho hero commission adroitly
avoids the question of whose life Ed
wards saved. That he did not save the
life of Mjxyor Gaynor is evidently con
ceded on the ground that Judge Gaynor
hud been~shot before Edwards got into
action. Following is the official report
of the commission on Edwards:
“William H. Edwards, silver medal.
Edwards, aged 33, commissioner of
street cleaning, saved an Indeterminate
person or indeterminate persons from
being shot by an assassin. Hoboken.
N. J., August 9, 1910. The Hon. William
J. Gaynor, mayor of the city of New
York. Just having been shot in the head
at close range, on the promenade deck
of the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der
Grosse and the assailant still facing
the group about the mayor with up
raised pistol. Commissioner Edwards,
standing at the mayors left side, threw
himself upon the man and bore him to
the deck upon his back. As Edwards
fell on top of him the pistol was dis
charged again and the bdllet grazed
Edwards* left forearm on the under
side. Others hurried to pinion the
man’s arms, but before they accom
plished it the pistol was discharged a
third time. Edwards then arrested the
assailant. The mayor and Ed wards re
covered from their wounds.”
