felt nervous at the outset. but he certainly
became perfectly calm and collected before
he had gone far in his recital, and he made
his answers with absolute precision. weigh
ing his words carefully.
Very earnest when he described what he
called the outrages to which he had been
subjected. Garfield smiled and chuckled at
many or the lighter flashes OF the case,
throughout the long cross-examination he
never hesitated except when Judge New
burger excluded the questions and he
never once had to refuse to make an an
swer on the ground that 1t might tend to
incriminate or degrade
There were several revelations about the
famous raid on his old establishment. Can
held knew some hours in advance that Il
would take place and he had summoned
Delahunty to the house. When District
Attorney Jerome reached there he was very
polite and did not enter through the win
dow. He suggested that Garfield and Buck

the court that the penalty be the minimum

said. he would summon certain men who

to have the truth brought TO light particu-

which had been exploited by the news

was that he knew the drunken Kid had
not lost his money in Canield's and he
could place the responsibility where It be-
longed.
Garfield deemed Delahunty's legal serv-
ices of small value. Blame was laid upon
the lawyer because certain gambling an

house at the time OF the raid. The lawyer
was afterward responsible for the bringing
