who would give to the police evidence
necessary for n raid coul get into it,
In the past when similar raids have been

have been quite content TO let the matter

willing To drop IL. In this case different

houses raidcd are occupied, if nothing

To tina, end b lrhridGe got into action
just a. soon after daylight Yesterday morn
ing az possible. He called his partners,
or rather the other Joint tenants with
him in the house, together about an hour
after the raiders left the premises. Bur-
bridge IL Western man and his early days
were passed in country where a gun
used to be regarded as a mans best friend
in an emergency. Added to this M is a
man Of violent temper. He wasn't in the
house when il was raded and nobody was
| slain.
At the conference with his associates
Burbridge said that he believed the raids
were illegal in that the police exceeded
the authority conferred upon them by
the warrant under which they acted.
II was decided to offer the case to former
| Governor Black on his own terms, and a
few hours later Gottfried Walbaum was
on his way TO Troy, where Mr.. Black was
yesterday. TO ask him to take the case.
Burbridge tnsisted, among other things.
that the poAce have no right to break and
enter when entrance is not refused and no
right to smash partitions and doors without
first demanding that the way to the other
side of those doors and partitions be opened
to them.
The warrants under which Brooks al Il
| his men acted were all issued on dopositioi.J

Garfield thinks Jacobs 'Iiials' sTsssiiS ssmis-

posed to have left town for his home in
Pro violence early Yesterday morning, but
he didn't. He was here in the afternoon
and SUN man saw him. When asked
how he liked icing raided for change
and what he was going to do about ii Mar.
| Garfield said
| "Frankness compels me to say that

\ ! must say that the Dstri Attorney was
most courteous. row know that mans

| A little later in the day man who knows
Richard A. Garfield more intimately than
anybody else in New York made the fol-
lowing statement
JAcoBs's OATH DISPUTED.
This man Jacobs, whoever he is and
| wherever he comes from. swore that he
PLAYED roulette in Canfeld's to Buckand's
rolling on Nov. "a. That is not true. Can
| fields houss, has not been open for bust
hess this fall, In fact it has no; been open
for bus mess for just ten weeks.
| why not? I'll tell YOU Garfield never
has run and never will run a gambling
| house when not sure of absolute protection
| for his patrons. When he ceased he Sara
toga Club for the season. he went to New
port. From Newport he came here. He
did not like the situation. H. found that
he could guarantee no protection and so
he gave orders that the house should re-
mairf closed indefinitely. Not n table
was put up and not a card has been turned
in the house all h. fall Therefore, Jacobs
could not have gambled in the house when
he SAYS he did Furthermore, Garfield,
if he wants to, can prove H. On the other
! hand, there j. nobody to corroborate Jacobs.
But the job" of this raj is on auckland.
Jacobs says Buckland rolled for him. Buck
land hasn't been behind n gaming table
in eight years He is a man Of considers bile
means and he's mad as a March hare TO think
that it should bo said that he rolled for
anybody. He hires men TO do that
AS To UNION CLUE suBPGSAs
| when jerome got to the house, some
time after the police got In, he tried TO get
Garfield to commit himself When he
had failed he said;
Now. Mr.. Garfield, there's no use
fighting me. If you'll admit that you've
| conducted a gambling house here, you
will have no trouble. If you don't III
subpoena members OF my own Club The
| Union. and he mentioned tho nanesI.
| who will have to swear that they have gam
| bed in this house. Garfield said I
can't presume To interfere with you, Judge
| jerome, in what you consider your duty
| That's all he said. and Jerome quit irving
| to get him to "A limit anything
| II should be ntorpolated here that the
| version Of this colloquv given at the District
| Attorney Office is different. According To
| that version jerome went to Garfield and
| said
| MIR. Garfield, there are men in this party
| who know certain other men who had enc
| Cagcmcnts 10 come here tonight and play.
| That they didn't come is due To the fact
that this raid was tipped OF Now, you
| have either got TO stand for your own house
or / will summon before the Grand Jury

| know Which shall 1t b"?"
| why, III stand for my place, Of course
replied Garfield.
"lic took it all like a sport" was Mr..
Jerome's comment.
