for the arrival Of Recorder Gof before Bucklin
could be arraigned on the indictment When

A report that 3Ir. Garfield is not going TO re-
turn TO this country is all rubbish" Bucklin
said. as he was leaving the Criminal Courts
Building. He did not run away There was
charge against him when he left this city. and
the idea Of his staying away is preposterous

surely return to face the indictment which,
believe, has been found on grounds similar to
those set forth in the complaint against me"
The indictment against Bucklin has four
counts One Of them charges him with allow
ing and maintaining a room, establishment
tables and apparatus for gambling purposes in
the Forty-fourth-st house; the next with exer-
cising supervision over them: the third with
having the care and custody of the same, and
the fourth count sets forth the char~e that he is
a common gambler" and maintains public
nuisance"
II is charged that Bucklin "unlawfuly and
injuriously did cause and procure divers idle
and iI-3isposed persons TO be and remain" in
the FOrty-fourth-st house. to game together
and play certain unlawful games namely, faro
and roulette, for divers large and excessive
sums OF money The dates included were from
