CANFIELDS CASE IN COURT.
His Counsel Moves That Date he Fixed
for the Trial-Demurs to the indictment.

B1NoHAMroN. N. Y, Sept. Platter
listening to arguments Justice Sewell an
nounoed to-day that he will wait until Oct. 20
before rendering decision on tho motion
made by Richard A. Canfeld's attorneys
to have a date fixed for the trial Of the
celebrated gambling case. John B. Stanch-
field argued the motion for Mr.. Garfield,
and It was opposed by Henry G, Gray OF
District Attorney Jerome's Office.
Mr.. Stanchfleld contended that no cause
has been shown for this delay Mr.. Gray
objected to the motion on the grounds
that there is no authority in the code for
the defendant to move criminal case for
trial. a right which he said rests with the
District Attorney.
Mr., Stanchfield said that Mr. Jerome
has repeatedly said that Garfield would
not be ready for trial, that he was sure that
n conviction could be secured and other
such statements. Now we call Mr.. Jerome's
bluff and are here demanding speedy
trial" said Mr.. Starchfield.
Justice Sewell at first minated that
he would set the date for the trial on Oct.
28 but afterward said that he will decide
the motion at that time.
Mr.. Stanchfeld then withdrew the plea
to the indictment and asked for leave to
ipterpose a demurrer. which was granted.
The demurrer, which was drawn this even
ing. will be filed in the morning and will be
argued next Monday. The principal grounds
on which the defendant demurs are that
he claims that the facts stated in the IN
dictment do not constitute crime, that
the indictment is not drawn to conform to
the law, that no crime ia shown and that
more than one crime is charged In single

The Cardinals plans have had to be

Bound 20 BE There when saIIish Girls
Case Came Up-Let His Own Court Wait.
Magistrate Hogan, whose graft" charges
against the police force are still being in
vestigated, had hard day yesterday be-
tween his duties at court and his duties
"a a complaining witness at Police Head-
quarters.
Yesterday was an unusually busy day
ut Jefferson Market. where Magistrate
Hogan is sitting. and he had to open court
for the afternoon session an hour and half
earlier than the appointed time. When
the court room was filed with prisoners
Hogan got message that the trial Of Po-
liceman O'Rourke was going on at Police
Headquarters.
Without stopping to hear another case
the Magistrate put on his hat and said he'd
be back later. When clerk told him that
he would not be wanted at Headquarters
until o'clock. the Magistrate exclaimed:
III be hanged IL I risk it. They want to
try some of those cases when I'm not there.
I'm going there anyway
While the prisoners waited in court Mag
istrate Hogan waited at Headquarters until
the time for the trial, which he found was
Mt 1 o'clock. Policeman O'Rourke belongs
to the West Thirty-seventh street station
and Ia one OF those charged with trying to
conceal the Sallish girl in a house and with
arresting the man who made the complaint
regarding the girl.
The Sallish girl took the stand yesterday
after O'Rourke had testified that he had
never known Of the existence Of the house,
as had the other policemen. The girl said
that Weinberg, who complained to the
police about the place. had put her in the
house himself and had demanded money
from her from time to time. It was when
she had refused to give him any more, she
said, that he threatened to go to the police.
She said she told this to Capt. Ferris after
the raid on the house. Weinberg was
arrested, but Magistrate Hogan discharged
him.
Magistrate Hogan declared on the stand
that the girls story about paying money
to Weinberg would not hold water. and he
didn't believe word Of il. The Magistrate
said this with great emphasis.
Deputy Commissioner Ebstein reserved
decision. Boyle and Zimmerman are to
be tried next week.
Magistrate Hogan did not get through
his court duties until $50 o'clock. He said
that the Commissioner was not treating
him fairly when he failed to inform him
OF the time Of the trial, but that. on the
whole, he had received pretty fair treat
ment from Major Ebstsin.

John D. Fitzpatrick. q wel-to-do young
man from the West. shot himself through
the heart yesterday morning in his apart
ments in the Hotel Martinique. So West
Thirty-third street.

beside him. A hole through the left lapel
of his waistcoat showed where the bullet
had entered.
