learn that somebody IN this town was pre-
rared to stand on his legal rlghts and that

should have to auffor tho consequences,' -
II was Nth that laudable object In view
that Garfield instructed Delahunty TO sue
Jerome. Piper, Inspector Brooks and Chief
Of Police Murphy Of Jersey City. Della
hunty brought the suits, and they were kept
very much alive under Canield's orders.
until the Bowling bill was passed, by which
Canfold's customers could DO compelled
TO testify under promise Of immunity.
Then, having made a deal for his preserva-
ton from jail, and finding la wyers, especial
ly Delahunty, who had worked 10 keep him
out OF Jail for two years, an unnecessary
evil, he discharged them all. paying them
all, some under protest, save Delahunty.
And he discontinued the civil suits and
abandoned his intentions Of asserting his
civic rights.
Az Delahunty sarcastically put II, MIR.
Garfield had decided to forget and forgive
the injuries to his honor and his prestige
as the prince Of gamblers
CRUDE OF DELAHUNTY SERVICES
NET.
The threatened split over the concealment
of the names Of Canfield's customers, es-
pecially those who failed to pay promptly
did not occur. Early in the morning ses-
sion there was a passage at arms between
counsel that seemed to presage a repudia-
ton Of oil agreements, but Canfeld's nod TO
his lawyers smoothed the troubled waters
for a while again.
j. Snowden Marshall, beginning the cross
examination of Delahunty. tried TO get him
TO admit that at the end Of all the gamblers
troubles, when he decided to plead, guilty
and pay a 1000 fine, he was left in pre-
cisely the same posi- ton as when, on the
night of the raid, Jerome offered to let him
of with q fine if he would plead guilty.
Almost two years had interviewed, and Can
field had spent close 10 slC0 ,0C0 that Is &C
counted for. He has been quoted as saying
that it cost him nearly four times that sum,
but where the money went does not appear.
He had many subterranean channels for its
disbursement.
Delahunty refused to allow the truth of
this statement. He declared that from
the night of the raid until he, Delahunty,
was dismissed by Garfield, in the row over
the fee to be paid to Justice Fursman, as
sociate counsel, the gambler had stead
tasty maintained that he would never plead
guilty, that it would hurt his prestige and
destroy his business. D~elahunty's work
resulted in the quashing of the first indict-
ments against Garfield and Bucklin, and it
was only when Garfield found himself in the
grip of the Bowling law that he decided to
plead guilty. Meanwhile he and Delahunty
had parted forever.
Mr.. Marshall harped on this point, repeat
ing 30 often that Garfield was no better
of when he got through with Delahpnty
than he was the night Of the raid, that
Edmund L. Mooney, ~Delahunty's counsel,
interfered.
Il object," said Mr.. Mooney "to the bring
ing in Of what occurred after D~elahunty's
services were completed. What does he
know of the motives that actuated Garfield
TO plead guilty afterwardf'
objection overruled, " said Justice New
burger. This is cross-examination and
l consider the question proper"
ENTENTE ooRp1ALE I PERIL.
Mr.. Mooney took an exception and. turn
ing to the other side and facing Garfield,
taid:
Il hereby give notice that II this line Of
questioning ia pursued any further, II an
other question Is asked concerning Mr..
Canfeld's pleading guilty, 1 shall sweep
aside all previous understandings, and ex-
ercise my right to go into this matter thor
oughly and bring out what happened, when
it happened, how it happened, and why"
Mr., Marshall dropped the subject as he
would a red hot poker, and turned to an
examination Of the bill Of services rendered
by Delahunty after he had brought suit.
