Two things concerning Richard \ Can
Ncld Developed Yesterday NJ the trial before
Supreme Court Justice Ncwburgcr and q
Jury uf Lawyer John Uplahunty'a suit
against the gambler for legal services rem
derpd during the eighteen months following
the ,Jeromr raid on 8 East Forty-fourth
street
One wa4 his remarkable knowledge Of
what was going on in District Attorney Je-
rome's Office ., the very times when jerome
was seeking TO keep hi- proceedings secret.
The other was Canheld'- distrust OF almost
every one he had business with, especially
his lawyers and his former customers.
Former - because his art museum and
palace Of chance in this city had been closed
up.
Garfield, while he was in the woods, Ia
which jerome had shooed him, was crying
t. get out. No price was too great to pay
for liberty. But as soon as he saw daylight
he decided that his legal pilots wanted too
much for their trouble, To one who wanted
$4,000, but was willing to take 81, 900 in adj
dition to 5000 already paid him, Garfield
offered $3.50. As he wrote in one OF his
letters, after the first indictment against him
had been quashed and he felt reasonably
sure OF immunity from jail, at least, tbs
fees OF his lawyers were scandalous. "a
shrieking scandal, which he had a mind TO
report to the Bar Association.
But he didn't. He paid them all; all ex-
cept Delahunty, who never got a cent for
his almost W years of labor, save IS 900 on
account of the collection OF the si3o, 900, for
which amount Delahunty compromised the
$500, 900 Of notes Garfield held against a
youth who had stacked up in a foolish mo-
ment against Canteld 8 tables.
Garfield had not a few customers on his
list who were slow payers and tried to beat
him down on his bills against them. He
would neither deny nor affirm yesterday
that one of these was former United States
Senator Edward o. Wolcott, now dead, who
had an international reputation for high
play. But it has beer testified to that some
United States Senator did offer him $4,000
for a 500, 900 note given OF q gambling debt.
and that Garfield rejected this compromise.
The protection of his customers James
from publicity was one Of Canfield's special
ties. But he never scrupled to demand,
where he thought his demand might he
obsyed, that his interests should be equally
looked after by the customer. In one OF
his letters read in court yesterday he mem
toned Edward W~assermann, a broker and
one of his customers. Writing to Della
hunty, Garfield Laldly suggested that Was
serman should be told, IL necessary, that he
would nave to revoke. for Canfield's benefit,
certain testimony TO which Wassermann had
already sworn in the John Doe proceedings
against Garfield.
AN ESSAY OF G THE REPORTERS.
Resu ming the witness stand yesterday,
Delahunty told how, after a change of venue
had been got for the trial of Canfeld's man
ager, David Bucklin, to Cortland county,
Garfield determined TO return at once to
New York from London. Delahunty ,ad-
vsed him to keep his return secret, and in
reply he received this letter from Garfield:
