INDICTMENT DISMISSED
Richard A. Garfield Acquitted Of
Charge ofGambling.

Trial Transferred to Binehamton From
New York-District Attorney Jerome
Not Ready to Try Case Till He
Gould Get Law Passed Compelling
Witnesses to Testify.
Binghamton, Jan. 12.-Justice A. H.
Sewell in supreme court dismissed the
indictment against Richard A. Can
field in the celebrated gambling case
transferred to this district from New
York city.
1t is understood that District Attor
ney Jerome will appeal the case and
will seek to have this order dismiss.
ing the indictment set aside. Should
he fail in that, it is understood, he
will seek to have Mr.. Garfield rein
dicted on the same charges, and have
the case tried after the legislature
passes new law which Mr.. jerome
is seeking to have passed, whereby
he can compel witnesses to testify.
In regard to these statements
George B. Curtiss, one of Mr.. Can
fields attorneys, said: "They cannot
have this order set aside and they can
not reindict him. This settles the ia,
nous case for good and all"
Mr.. Garfield simply said: 81 hope
this is the end of it"
When the case was called Assistant
District Attorney William Rand was
in court to represent Mr.. Jerome, con-
trary to his announcement, made on
Friday, that he would not be present.
He refused, however, to move the case
for trial and asked to have it put over
until Mr.. Jerome can secure his de-
sired legislation, saying that the pros.
ecution was not ready to go on with
the case now, and cannot get any evil
dence until the law is changed AL
though it has all along been under
stood that this was what Mr. Jerome
was fighting for, this was the first
official admission that has been made
in court that Mr.. Jerome could not get
evidence against Mr. Garfield without
change in the law.
John B. Stanchfield, for Mr.. Can
field, asked to have jury drawn, and
in case no evidence was introduced for
the prosecution, for the court to in
struct the jury to return verdict o.
not guilty. To this Mr.. Rand objected
on the ground that no one but the dis
trict attorney can move criminal
case for trial
Justice Sewell refused to grant Mr.
Stanchfield's request in regard to en-
paneling jury, saying he thought the
defense should be satisfied to have
the indictment dismissed.

for Richard A. Garfield and who is
under indictment on the charge of con-
Quoting gambling house, came up be.
fore Justice Forbes in supreme court
at Cortland.
o. U. Kellogg, attorney for Mr.. Buck
lin, moved to have the indictment dis
missed, inasmuch as assistant district
Attorney Gray refused to move it for
trial.
Justice Forbes took the case under
consideration and will announce later
whether he will dismiss the indict.

Secretary Hay at State Department.

Washington, Jan. 12-For the first
time in several weeks Secretary Hay
appeared at the state department. He
saw the Japanese minister, Mr.. Taxa
hira, and the two had long talk
about the situation in the Far East.
The tone of advices at hand was to
the effect that the situation on the
whole was slightly more pacific. The
last Russian note is said to be de-
cidedly conciliatory in language and
goes far toward recognizing Japans
predominant interests in Corea, though
not conceding a similar interest on
Japans part in Manchuria. Secretary
Hay had long conference with the
president regarding the Colombian sit
uation.
