As for the "Hough case" Charles NJ.
Hough. as trustee in 1901 for one Feldstein.
an insolvent silk importer, of Al Mercer
street, brought suit against Garfield to
recover for the creditors $50, 1000, which is
the amount that Feldstein was alleged to
have lost gambling at 5 East Forty-fourth
street. At the time Hough stated that
Feldstein had lost all told about 500 900 at
various gambling houses in the city:
The Forty-ffth street house was a place In
which Garfield had an interest. 1t was said
to be run by a man named Coe, and Garfield
looked after it pretty closely. 1t did not
compare in furnishings with the Forty
fourth street place.
The District Attorney in 1900 was Asa
Bird Gardiner, who was removed by then
Gov. Roosevelt early in 1901. just before
the removal there was a spasm OF activity
IN the otnce.
Mr.. Marshall brought out that in August,
1908, after the changes Of Venue had been
obtained, Delahunty borrowed 5000 from
Garfield on u note. He argued that this
showed that the lawyer did not consider
himself entitled to any large sum for SER
vices at that time. He also tried to drag
from Delahunty that the lawyers principal
legal business for Garfield was the at
tempted collection Of debts contracted by
customers. Delahunty denied this warmly.
Referring to the letter In which Garfield
suggested that Edward Wassermann, the
| broker, should be made to revoke his former
testimony in the John Doe proceedings
il necessary, Delahunty said that he had
not acted on that advice from Garfield. He
paid no attention to it at the time, he said,
and it was only later that he realized that
Garfield had practically asked him to COM
pei n man to commit perjury by using
whatever power or control Garfield held
over the broker.
The cross-examination will be resumed
this morning, and in the afternoon Mr.
Mooney expects to put on several witnesses
az experts on the value of Delahunty'f
services.
cASFIELD WILL TESTIFY.
The defence will also have some expert
testimony. 1t has been definitely decidec
to put Garfield on the stand to prove hi
contention that Delahunty's charges arr
"preposterous," as he calls them.
