to-day. go,
With his expcditionary forces still
further augmented by Prosecutor Carl
ton F.. Reed, OF Morris County, and
County Detective Brennan, Mr. Haas
went up the hill again to continue hls
fight to pry Dunn loose from leisure
and luxury. and start him on the way
70 cherries cell on BlackwelIs
Island.
1t was an all-day battle and many
thousand rounds Of words were used
by each side. Mr.. Haas found the
forces against him also greatly aug
mented. Randolph Perkins and A. j
Steelman, lawyers, of Jersey City
were there as counsel for Dunn.
"NIr. Dunn is a dangerously sick man
he is too sick to be moved said Mr..
Perkins.
you have got to show me-" retort-
ed Mr.. Haas.
Mr.. Perkins did show Mr. Haas by
producing an affidavit from DR.. George
B. Gale, head Of the resort, stating
that Dunn was suffering from neu-
rasthenia. anRmia. melancholia, bron-
chitis and an affection of the left lung.
He said Dunn had been a patient there
for ten weeks, and it might be year
or more before he could safely be
moved.
It was an imposing array Of ills, but
Mr.. Haas wanted to be sure. SO DR..
James Il. GrisWold, county physician,
was sent for 20 make an examination
for the state. DR.. Griswold made this
statement:
TLen Mr.. Haas was ready to discuss
the question of bail Dunn's counsel
asked that he be released i'm $4,000 bail,
stating that Mrs. Lakeland was ready
with "a certified check for that amount,
payable to the order Of the Morris
County Clerk.
The discussion waxcd hot all over
again. and for hours the cOntending
lawyers sat about the parlors of the
sanatorium. smoking cigars and argu-
ing about the question of bail. Mrs.
Lakeland glared at Mr.. Haas especially
hard once when he said:
"Well. this woman who is willing TO
go bail has plenty of money let her
put up the 100000"
Mr. Haas yielded only dollar by dol
lar until he finally got down to S1O,-
900 as acceptable bail. There he stuck.
Then Mr. Reed. the county prosecutor,
who really had the deciding voice,
since the matter was in his jurisdic-
ton. cut the matter short by advising
Justice Of the Peace Getty that $4,000
was enough.
Mrs Lakeland quickly handed over
her check for s. 900 and executed the
bond on her home at as and AZ
Beauvoir Avenue, summit, in Union
County. Then Constable Cook was re-
licved Of his guard over Dunn.
Although Dunn was thus technically
taken out Of custody, he was kept un-
der surveillance. Mr.. Haas will remain
all night in Butler, and the Bancroft
Health Resort will he kept under guard

TO take him away will be known.
Since he is under bail he is free 10

that during the time he has been want
