velop NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Con.
ference About Forenanship Of the
Grand Jury-A Reply From Gaynor.
Il ar, satisfied that the Garfield, Bur-
bridge and Ludlam gambling houses were
tipped on the night of the raid, said Dis
trict Attorney Jerome yesterday, @and /
expect that the man who did 1t will he
called as a witness for the defence to-
morrow in the hearing before Justice Wyatt
on the complaint accusing David W. bucklin
Of being manager at Canfield's.'
Shortly after Mr. Jerome had made this
statement Justice Olmsted OF special oes-
sions had conference with Mr. jerome
and when he left Detective Sergeant Welsh
was summoned He went away accom-
panied by Detective Maher. Joseph Jacobs,
the Citizens Unions wild Western sleuth,
was supposed to have made complaint.
He had been in the District Attorneys Office
most Of the afternoon.
When Welsh and Maher returned they
had with them William H. Lippert. COM
plant clerk Of the Citizens Union, whom
they said they had found in Leonard street.
He was clo-eted with Mr.. jerome for quite
a while and after he came out Of Mr..
Jerome's Office Jacobs went in. Lippert
remained outside with the detectives,
smoking cigarette. Jacobs was inside
only a few moments. After he left MIR.
Jerome refused to say whether he was
still OF the opinion that the Bucklin con-
tingent would call the Upper of as witness.
He said that he guessed he didn't care TO
discuss the matter any more
There was lot Of speculation as TO the
meaning Of the events OF the afternoon.
1t was recalled that Jacobs has all along de-
clared that the Garfield -3urbridge- Ludlam
raid was tipped of and that he knew who
did it.
1t was said that Justice Olmsted would
be likely TO preside over secret inquiries
that may come up this month because
Justice Wyatt, who was the Magistrate
before whom the sessions were held last
month and who has issued all the gambling
and police warrants issued this fall, has
gone to the Children's Court to sit for two
months. That is busy court, but just ice
Wyatt will probably find time to hold what
ever sessions Of the Garfield inquiry there
are yet to be held. IL Is believed. however,
that these sessions are about at All end
and that the matter may at once be taken
before the January Grand Jury after that
body's temper has been tested in some
way.
The January Grand Jury was sworn in yes
terday by Recorder Coz. Before il was
