Opening Tor the i~rfrr~p. Mr. Marshall
stated that hi client. Mr. Garfield, did not
dispute that he owed %fElahunty something.
The amount was tho question, he said, and
the amount asked by Delahnnty Mr. Can
field considered Ridiculous IN addition TO
that, he thought The manner ~ the pre-cn-
tation Of the hill peculiarly objectionable.
Especially. that phrase referring to the
Prince ~ Gambler.
A. to the demand for "a per cent. on the
tiSO,OO collected 10y DelHllnty, Mr., Marrhal
said hat stlCn u sum was eXorhitant ana
that he would prove that $1,000 had actually
been paid, $50 In cash and $500 10 offset
Della hunt rs note for that amount.
Delahunty's legal services MIR. Marshall
denounced as foolish, " " nonsensica
'fatuous," "ov~ercstimated.' zone of the
greatest pieces Of folly ever committed at
the bar Of this county
Garfield was entitled TO sound adj
vice" said Marshall "and not to the adj
vice he got, which resulted merely in the
building up Of big lawyers bills.
He also declared his intention TO show
that Deiahunty had failed to communicate
to Garfield certain Offers from Mr.. Jerome
and that the total effect of D~elahunty's
legal fight had been to plunge Garfield into
a raging swirl, a Kaleidoscope panorama
Of litigation, the end OF which was that
Garfield was left like a bluebottle fly,
battling against a window pane III a vain
endeavor to break his way out, while half
the window was open to him for a clear
departure u,
Bucklin. smiling but fdgety, was called
to the stand. He repeated briefly the
events Of the morning OF December 2, ln02,
when he wa arrested, with Garfield, In the
famous Jerome raid. He said he was adj
vised by Garfield and Delahunty not to
plead guilty to the charge, on the ground
that the information on which IL was based
was given by the sleuth Jacobs, who had
fooled Jerome into the belief that he had
before.
He gave his version of the various events
leading up to the removal Of the securities
from the Garfield and Bucklin. safe deposit
vaults. and his version made 1t appear
that Delahunty had persuaded him, against
his will, to let Delahunty take charge Of
this removal. He was very excited
said Bucklin, and talked about injunc-
ions and the like"
ADVISED TO FLEE. SAYS
Delahunty had his a though, as he
did when Bucklin was arrested in Jersey
City later. Later, Buctlin declared, Della
hunty assured him that his case was hope
less and that Bucklin would relieve Della
hunty's mind greatly. by sprinting for
ropala whara ba would ha at Hharfv hlt
within touch.
As to the $3.50, 900 collection, Bucklin
said that Delahunty had claimed there
and then l 1000 as his fee, urging that he
was entitled to that anyway, since be had
got $4,000 more than the 100000 which
Garfield had agreed to accept.
Mr.. Mooney started his cross-examina-
ton by inquiries concerning Bucklin's
present business, which brought, out the
admission that since 1901 Bucklp had done
no business in New York State;
well, ~anywhere?' pursued Mr.. Mooney.
sOh, in Newport l own a clubhouse
as that a gambling hopse?' Mr., Mooney
asked.
Mr.. Marshall objected, but after a dis
cussion Bucklin was directed to answer.
on the ground that it might incriminate
him. He admitted that he was at least
the nominal owner Of the clubhouse in
Newport that formerly stood in Canfield's
name.
NEVER SAID CANF1ELD SHOULD PAY.
SIN going out of this court room on the
first day OF the trial" said Mr.. Mooney,
did you say to anybody that the defence
in this case was a damned shame and that
Garfield ought to pay the Judgment in full?'
mo, sir
did you speak to anybody at all on the
subject
II met Capt. Ward and he says to me,
he says, It's too bad that old friends should
have a falling out And / says, Too bad,
isn't it?"
DELAHUNTY C~oNTRADICTED.
The examination of Buoklin was inter-
rupted to permit Alfred Lauterbach, who
was Jesse Iewisohn's counsel in the John
Doe proceedings against Garfield, to testify.
He said that about the middle of Decem-
Der, 1902, Lewisohn had been subppnaed
by Jerome. When Mr.. La~uterbach pro-
tested against the calling of Lewisohn
as the first witness he was told that 1t was
not intended to nave any other witnesses
IL Lewisohn could be got. He argued
against this, but could only get from
Jerome such satisfaction as was contained
in the assurance that if Garfield and Bucklin
would plead guilty Lewisohn need not
testify at all.
Lauterbaoh said he had reported this
to Delahunty, thereby contradicting Della
hunty's testimony to the effect that he
had never received such a communication
from either Jerome or Iauterbach. eXcept
