tinued his appointments o the year

! well and William b. Cogan as special

Mr.. Stevens. representing the

gineers of New York City, went over

jewels valued at $4,000 from the desk.

Plea I'm Garfield
Estate Reveals
Som > Escapades
Payments Made From the
Youths AnnualAllowance
TO Redeem Bad Checks
Disclosed by Executor

Details OF the career of Rowland
Dartmouth Garfield, which ended in
his death at the age Of twenty three
in Honolulu last August, are contained
in the Surrogates' Court petition fled
yesterday for the judicial settlement
Of the estate Of his father, Richard A.
Garfield.
The elder Canfield had residence
at East Fifty-frst Street and also
one in Providence. Until District At
torney Jerome and squad Of police
men chopped and hammered their way
into the gambling house maintained
by him in Forty-fourth Street his
place was the most luxurious of its
kind in America, at the same time
palace of chance and art museum, with
paintings, bronzes and tapestries
valued at many thousands of dollars.
As for the stakes for which his pa
irons played, the richly frescoed CELL
ing was the limit. Garfield also main
tanned summer gambling house in
Saratoga. He died in 1914 from the
effects of fall down the stairs Of
subway station.
Son Spent $A6,500
Rowland Dartmouth Garfield, one Of
three heirs of Richard A. Garfield, oh.
tanned Surrogates' Court order in
1915, when he was sixteen years old
allowing hira $4,000 year to meet the
expenses Of a college course. The &C
counting filed yesterday of the father
estate shows that to the time of his
death the son had received S46,s5a as
his share Of the income from the
estate.
The young man ca me to a mysterious
death in Honolulu, where he had gone
from Los Angeles, and it was reported
that he had been poisoned on ship
board. Young Garfield had set fast
pace in Hollywood, where he had a
bungalow, but the accounting in the
Richard A. Garfield estate reveals for
the first time some details of his
career in the East. They are set forth
by Luke Vincent Lockwood, Of River
side, Conn, executor and trustee of
the fathers estate.
Many Bad Checks Cashed
MIR. Lockwood says that several pay
ments from the income for Howiafd
Dartmouth Garfield were made in his
behalf to Judge Louis w. Dunn. One
item of $3.50 was paid by Judge Dunn
at the Hotel Commodore, "to repay
them for bad checks cashed," and $3.50
was paid to the Beaumont Company
for similar purpose. A payment of
$1,000 by Judge Dunn, says the ac-
counting, was used for can accident to
army surgeon" while 1921 in bad
checks was taken up in Boston from
young Canfeld's funds. A trip to
Saratoga, to "recover car" cost SIS.
Richard A. Canfield left an estate
of $843,017, and the balance still ON
hand amounts to $7os,479. The estate
was left in trust for Mrs. Genevieve
w Garfield, widow, of Brookline.

amounting to s37,114 for Miss Grace

ceived $37,521, and for the son, who

Didn't anybody buy?" asked Magis-
trate Ryttenberg.

"The nearest got to sale was when
one guy picked up an envelope and
smelled it.'
The So fine was paid with four of the
spurned 50-cent pieces. The clerk of
the court didn't smell them. He DIT
them.
Well, perhaps, as Mr.. Cohen says, it
was just bet, and perhaps there isn't
