COMMUNICATION

Editor Tonopah Bonanza, Dear sir
Ny attention has just been direct.
ed To the article appearing in Mon.
days issue OF your paper and having
reference TO the quashing Of indict.
ments against alleged gamblers. 1t
appears to me that particular care
has been taken to make the Jury in
the Kelsi case the goat for what
ever insincere action may have been
and is being taken with regards to
the Enforcement, or rather the non
enforcement Of gambling laws as they
existed, or dc exist and the enact
ment OF other laws now proposed
Begging the humble pardon OF all
the politicians, be they judges, pro
secutors or the minions Of the law.
for being a free thinking American
citizen | must resent the implication
that this jury took the law into their
own hands and rendered a verdict of
not guilty in spite of abundance
and direct evidence Nothing win be
here said about the police minions.
prosecutors, etc, taken the laws into
there own hands and making fish out
of one and flesh of another for these
matters are reserved for my next
communication. So combining my re-
marks TO the case in question | will
attempt to put this Keslj jury right
In the eyes Of their fellow towns
men.
To commence with, the inslncerity
of the indictment is at once apparent
when one stops to think that the de-
PENDANT in this case was charged
with gambling on particular day or
night and that all the evidence. bar
ring that given by the complaining
witness himself, and he was an ae-
complete, adduced at the trial tend
ed to show that gambling had been
carried on prior to and after the
time specified in the Indictment and
there was not a scintilla of evidence
worth considering that would tend
to prove that game was going on
that particular night when a weleher
came cringingly into the defendants
saloon begging for money and pledg-
ing his watch and chain for security.
We were asked in our examination
If we knew anything with regards
TO this particular case and i'm. every
instance the answer was no. Now
in the name Of heaven how can a
jury Of II sane men render YER
dict on evidence proving some other
case. 1t might be we'll to mention
right here that it was brought out
in the jury room that one of our fell
low jurymen had gambled in the
place himself and he was strong for
conviction on this account, but as
this was outside of the evidence ad.
duced during the trial it could not
be considered by the jury That
man, in the strictest sense of jus
tice, was debarred from serving on
this jury yet the question as asked
of him, DO you know of anything
regarding this particular case?" made
him an acceptable juryman; that is
to say il he was broad enough to
confne himself to the evidence
brought out in the trial but he
wasn't.
1t has since been learned that an
other of the iurymen unfortunately
suffered the loss of a son at the
hands of a gambler some years ago
and while his answers were salts
factory in every instance the fact
remains that this man did not at
tempt to render his verdict on what

they owned more acres than scores
of old city families which have been
credited with great land posses
sions.
Jan Dyckman was the ancestor of
the Manhattan island family of that
name History states that he joined
his Dutch neighbors in the little set
Element around the fort in 1866, when
the town had just come under Eng
lish rule. Perhaps that is one reason
which induced Jan to get as far away
as he could from the English rulers
and yet remain on the island, for less
than ten years later he was the owner
of several hundred acres at the north
ern extremity, bordering Spuyten
Duyvil.
There, for over two hundred years
the Dyckmans lived, exemplifying to
the minutest detail the traditional
characteristics of the Dutch in frugal
ity, industry, simple yet generous hos
pitality, and the art of minding their
own business. When necessity de-
manded they served the city as alder
men or constables, and they were al
WAYS active in furthering the best in
terests of the early Harlem village.
Later members of the family added
to the broad acres acquired by the
original arrival, and at one time near
" the entire tract of fertile meadow
land north of Fort George hill, as far
as Spuyten Duyvil, was owned by
the Dyckmans.
The first Dyckman farmhouse stood
in the upper part of the tract near
Spuyten Duyvil creek. 1t was a small
house, later replaced by a large build
ing bordering on the Harlem a little
to the east of the present Dyckman
house at Broadway and Two Hundred
and Seventh street. 1t was burned
during the Revolution by the British.
The family lost no time in restoring
their damaged property. One year
after the evacuation of the city by the
British the present home was finished.
1t was built by Jacobus Dyckman, the
eldest of the nine children of William
Dyckman. The latter died in the
house in 1887.

SHE WOULDN'T PAY HER FINE
Pretty MotorcycIist Gets Novel Sen
tence and a Dinner de
Luxe.

New York.-Miss Lillian Roberts,
seventeen, of Flatbush, was before
Magistrate Geismar in the Flatbush
court, charged with driving her mo-
torcycle at 80 miles an hour.
When a fine of $25 was imposed
upon her Miss Roberts, a suffragette,
stamped her little feet and declared
that she would not pay it. She was
given the alternative of day in jail
She agreed to the latter but the mag
istrate grew tender-hearted and de-
cided that she could spend the time
in the courtroom instead of going TO
the Raymond Street jail. Soon after
court closed a friend brought MISS
Roberts dinner de luxe, which was
eaten on one of the benches.

OLD RELIC TO GO.
Only Farmhouse on Manhattan
Island Given to City.
Quaint Homestead. Last Of Its Kind In
Gotham, viii BE Transferred to
Isham Park and Turned
Into a Museum.

New York-The last remaining
farmhouse on Manhattan island Will
be formally presented 10 the city
within a few DAYS Commissioner
Slower, who viii accept the gift on
behalf of the park department, has
promised to provide a permanent site
for the ancient house in lsham park,
overlooking the Hudson river, in the
upper part of Manhattan island.
The house is the old Dyckman res
idence, which has stood for over
century on a portion of the extensive
Dyckman farm, now cut up into
building lots and already showing the
effect of the northward trend of pop
ulation by the rows of apartment
houses which are rapidly wiping out
all trace of the broad Dyckman mead
ows. The curious old farmhouse pre-
sents an odd contrast today to these
evidences of modern development as
one catches a glimpse of it at the
corner of Two Hundred and Seventh
street from the trolley cars running
I'D Broadway. Had Broadway gone
few feet more to the west or Two
Hundred and Seventh street a bit
further to the north the career of this
interesting landmark which links New
York with one of its earliest Dutch
families would have been cut off sud-
denly, and there would have been no
tale to tell of it's presentation to the
city and the preparations being made
by the Daughters of the Revolution
to turn the old place into museum.
The house was built in 1884, and its
appearance has undergone practically
no change. 1t was the third Dyck-
man homestead. or rather farmhouse,
for the old Dyckman family prided
themselves on their skill as practical
farmers and never assumed immortal
magnificence, even in name, although
