HE WANTS HIS CASE TRANSFERRED TO
ANOTHER COUNTY-A STAY IN
THE PROCEEDINGS.

There was general surprise yesterday IN lhe
Court OF General Sessions when 1t became
known that Captain Diamond indicted Tor
neglect of duty, trying TO nave MS
case transferred from Recorder Goffs court
TO the Supreme Court, and to some other
county than New-York Colonel Hender-
son. Captain Diamonds counsel. who last FIJI
day obtained a postponement Of the proceedings
on the ground that he desired time in which TO
familiarize himself with the case, made the an
nouncement, telling the Recorder that a stay OF
proceedings returnable on August ~, had oeen
obtained from Justice Dykman, Of the Second
Department of the Supreme Court at White
Plains.
On August 20 argument will be heard by Jus
tice Lawrence, of the Supreme Court OF TINS
department on two motions, one for the Trans
fer of the case to the Supreme Court ana the
other for a change of venue. The ground LOT
the latter motion, alleged in an afhoaVlt' Is
that a fair and impartial trial cannot be oo-
tanned here, owing TO the state of public feel-
ing The transfer to the Supreme Court that IS
asked for is the same that the counsel for ward
man Bissert unsuccessfully sought.
Recorder Golf was angered by the announce
ment His face flushed, and he used vigorous
language to Colonel Henderson. He said:
Colonel Henderson. ! cannot help but express to
you my appreciation of your unprofessonal conduct
in coming into this court and obtaining a postpone
ment of the and then applying to judge Of
the Supreme Court In another department for a
stay Of proceedings. ! repeat that you got ad-
journment in this matter for the very purpose
of going into another court and securing there a
stay of proceedings. The application for ad-
journment of this case was made under false pre-
fences last week
Il am very sorry" replied Colonel Henderson.
that l have done anything that has met with
your disapproval. 1t was done in the interest of
my client. The same thing was done in the
ScanneIl case, and I suppose that the high stand
ing Of the counsel in that case prevented any
reflection upon them. I don't wish to stand
here and be criticised or be charged with IN
professional conduct, when 1 have done only
what the law permits me to do" The latter
part of his reply was spoken in a somewhat
heated manner.
In spite of all that you say" responded Re
corder Golf. you guilty of acting unprofes-
sionally in this matter"
Captain Diamond was not in, the courtroom
at the time.
Assistant District Attorney Cans went to
White Plains to see Justice Dykman The JUS
tice was not in court, and Mr.. Cans sent note
TO him at his home Word came back that
Justice Dykman could not Mr.. Cans. Two
more notes from the latter met with the same
response. When word sent to his room
late in the afternoon Justice Dykman said that
he had nothing to say about the order in Cap
tain Diamonds case and refused to discuss the
subject. 1t said that the justice was too
sick TO see Mr.. Cans

CROKER WILL SUPPORT THE COMMISSIONER AND
PURRoY THE BOROUGH PRESIDENT.
Louis F. Haffen, president of the Borough of The
Bronx is slated for political decapitaon by Perez
val e. Maggie, leader of the XXXIVth Assembly
District Mr. Nagle and Mr.. Hafen clashed last
year when Mr.. Haffen refused to allow Mr.. Maggie
to dictate the nomination of Henry Shraeder for
Senator Soon after that Maggie who is Street
Cleaning Commissioner, began warfare to under
mine Hafen's power in The Bronx, and has sue
ceeded to a certain degree in weakening Haffen's
following Haffen is a candidate for reelection
president of The Bronx and under the revised
charter he will have great deal of patronage to
deal out Maggie and his friends fear that Haffen
will use this patronage to build up independent
following in The Bronx and they out to defeat
Haffen for a denomination.
Park Commissioner MoebUs is Nagle's candidate
for president of The Bronx and merry warfare
is anticipated Henry D. Purroy who has a large
following in The Bronx, is eager to vent his dis
pleasure upon Croker and his forces and he will
be with Haffen in the struggle. Haffen and his
