Llewellyn company and that his
capital of $4,000 was not solicited by
Hasselman. Mr.. German asserts that
Gilmore. learning that the company
was reaping a harvest through its
deals in Orange property asked That
he be allowed to invest his money
in the enterprise. 1t was Gilmore
who suggested that the company ex-
tend it's dealing to New York, says
German, and it was through these
transactions that the company lost
heavily.
Mr. German maintains that If there
was any fraud which resulted in
losses to the company Hasselman
suffered by them as we'll as Gilmore.
He denied that Hasselman had any
part in the placing of dummies on
the company's payroll, or that Has
selman had any knowledge that the
books of the concern were destroyed
Gave $4,000 Notes.
The suit to recover $4,000 from
Hasselman, which Gilmore recently
secured a Judgment for, declared At
torney German, resulted from two
notes of $4,000 and $4,000 each, which
Hasselman gave to Gilmore at one
time to raise funds for the company,
1t is said that these notes were not
given as a personal transaction be-
tween Hasselman and Gilmore. Mr.
German further said that Gilmore
has no legal right to the Hasselman
property. which was levied upon at
1872 Harrison avenue, East orange
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Hasselman.
The furniture was subsequently re-
moved to Hasselman's quarters at
the country club and there seized
by deputy sheriff to satisfy the
Gilmore judment.
Mrs. Hasselman filed claim
against the seized property. which
prevented Gilmore from taking pos
session of it. Mr.. German declared
that Hasselman's equity in this prop
erty amounts to little and that If Gil
more attempts to take possession or
it Mrs. Hasselman will resort to the
courts to prevent him.
Both Hasselman and Gilmore had
long been friends and prominent
members of the Essex County Coun-
try Club, at Hutton Park, West Or
ange, before the Llewellyn difficulties
set them at odds. The arrest of Has
selman at the club created a sensa-
ton, but the defendant appears to
have such strong following at the
club that two well-known members at

bond of $4,000. 49,
Foard's Bail Reduced.
When Foard surrendered himself he
conferred with Matthew ]. Ready
counsel for Gilmore, in Ready's office
for more than an hour yesterday.
After the conference Attorney Ready
appeared before Justice of the Pence
Smith and asked that Foard's bail of
$4,000 be reduced to $4,000. This re-
quest was granted. Foards daughter
was out of town yesterday, and last
night a constable was assigned to re-
main with the defendant until bail
was secured. Special officer Purcell
remained at the Foard home last
night = ~. - - - - , -
From the attitude of the lawyers
and detectives employed by Gilmore
1t was evident that they expect FoaFd
to turn States evidence when Hassel-
man is brought to trial.
Foard prepared statement this
afternoon in the office of his attor-
ney. Henry Pomerhene, in which he
disappoints Gilmore and the detec-
tives by defending Hasselman and
attacking Gilmore. His pedigree,
showing prominent forebears, was de-
tailed by Foard as evidence he could
not commit q crime.
