But | do know that there were securities

were four notes for 5000 900, and another
for 500. 900 and there were many bonds
and stocks, all valuable.
MYSTERIOUS ARREST or
Bucklin was arrested in Jersey City a few
DAYS afterward when he went to get some
of the papers. But he had nothing on him
having rather expected arrest and having
turned the things over to a companion,
Capt. Ward, who took the paper safely
ITO Delahunty. Bucklin was charged with
being disorderly but was released when
the police found he had nothing worth
while about him.
Delahunty was ezra ged at this proceed
ing, and told Bucklin that a suit for dam
a ees would lie against Murphy, the chief Of
the Jersey City police. Bucklin fell intothat
idea at once and Delahunty interviewed
Murphy, to see who was back OF the pro-
ceeding. Murphy said he had acted on his
own initiative in arresting Rucklin and
would give no information. Then Della.
hunty served him with a summons and
complaint in Bucklin's suit for s25, 900 dam
gees.

he was Canfeld's manager, and in the
gambling business for years. Then they
told me that if would withdraw the suit
against Murphy this statement would
not be used against my client. but that If
didn't it would be forwarded to Mr.. Jerome:

More descriptions followed of the legal
work Delahunty did in trying to postpone
1.-THE Bucklin trial. He had retained ex-
FuTSmdn as associate counsel, ana
together they fought for a change of venue,
which they finally got from Justice Mccall
In Nav. 1908, after a strenuous legal battle.
It was about this time that the cables be-
