ASKS MIR. GAYNoR TO NAME WITNESS.
Jerome Writes to Justice About North
American Review" Article

District Attorney Jerome said yesterday that he
had written a letter Justice Gaynor in Brooklyn
in relation to the latter's attack on him in The
North American Review Mr.. Jerome would not
tell OF the letter except to that he
had asked Justice Gaynor to send to him the name
of the witness referred TO in the article who could
furnish the District Attorney with evidence to
secure the conviction of Richard Garfield.
''I do not wish to make the letter public said
District Attorney Jerome. but will wait until
receive an answer from Justice Gaynor. Then will
make both letters public Ii after waiting iea
sonable time 1 have received an answer TO my
letter I viii make public the have just writ
ten to Justice Gaynor."
In speaking of gambling. District Attorney Jerome
said:
We have got the gamblers the run. They
has been made Police Commissioner We may nave
some interesting news soon.
Earlier in the day the District Attorney remarked
The raid referred to by Justice Gaynor in his ar
tice evidently refers to the recent one on caY +u

of those inside the house is of a vague character
to the least
No one is more anxious than 1 am to uphoid
the constitution and make the police do thelr
duty: and no one not even Justice Gaynor, has
more profound respect for the constitution and
the Magma Charta than l. The constitution pro pro
hibits gambling and therefore these places must
be closed. When entered the house said to
Canheld: You know my business and 1 know
yours What is the use of your trying to deny that
this is a gambling house?" Garfield said TO me
that he did not deny that it gambling house,
but that there had been nothing doing" for three
months There five raids made in November
and three in December. The evidence obtained was
exactly what the warrants called for, and the law
was obeyed TO the minutest particular Justice
Gaynor often has occasion to issue writs in these
gambling cases and IL is not right that he should
crticise as he has done The gamblers will realize
before long that they cannot in New-York
City. and then this system of blackmailing by the
police will be stopped.

CAPT. STEPHENSON HIS OWN WITNESS.

At the trial yesterday Of Police Captain Stephen
son, of the Mulberry-st precinct before Deputy
Commissioner Ebstein, on a charge of falling to
close dsordery houses in his precinct. the prosecu-
ton closed its case and the captain began his de-
fence. Chief Inspector Cortright the last wit
for the prosecution. He told of being ordered
by Commissioner Partridge to lay before Captain
Stephenson evidence he had of disorderly houses
in that precinct, and said that Captain Stephenson
had told him he did not believe the plain clothes
that to be sent into the precinct could
get any evidence against them.
He thought Stephenson had succeeded pretty we'll
in his three years at Mulberry-st. 1t not
strange that plain clothes from outside the
precinct could get evidence when Captain Stephen
sons men could not, for the outsiders not
known to the criminals of that precinct
Captain Stephenson was the first witness IN his
own defence. He said he had often instructed his
men TO investigate and report any violations of
law He had found it so hard TO get evidence that
he had asked help of Inspectors Cortright and
Brooks. Magistrates had often reproved him for
being too Jealous in the of disorderly per-
sons. The trial was adjourned to Monday.
