from the star on the top Of tho Criminal Court
building yesterday, tho fact was known from
one end Of the building to the other that a truce
had been established between District Attorney
Gardiner and Recorder Gof. Early in tho
morning Col. Gardiner had held o consultation
with his star officers, Adjutant Henry W.
Ungor, Major John II. Mcintyre, and Chaplain
Edward I. Flynn. Tho chaplain, who IL
the Pardon Clerk, did some accommodating
about the door leading to the Recorders
chambers; ~glanclng through the keyholo of the
door, he saw the Recorder resting peacefully on
his arms. A big pile of legal ammunition was
piled upon tho floor beside the Recorders desk.
Tho chaplain hurried back to Col. GARDENERS

Thereupon the Adjutant and the Recorder
arose and shook hands.
The Recorder returned to his seat.
Major Mcintyre then stepped forward and in.
formed the Recorder that when he had gono
into court on tho previous day and requested
that thirteen murder cases be transferred to the
Supreme Court from the Recorders Court he
meant to show no disrespect toward the Re-
corder. He simply wanted, to have the homi-
eide cases put on q calendar Of the Supreme
Court because the criminal branch or tho
Supreme Court always wanted important cases
TO try, and when ordinary cases were put on
the calendar of that court they were often
sent back to the General Sessions. The Re.
corder told Mr.. MoIntyre that he had always
considered him . bright and careful prosecut-
ing attorney. and then iokingly remarked that
there would probably, have been no dispute

the request for a transfer. only for the fact that
the number was thirteen, which was an un.
lucky number. ~
