Prosecutor Had Threatened Him with Arrest, and Now Expects Him to Tell All About Big Losses at Canfield’s. Reginald Vanderbilt will appear as a \aitness against David W. Bucklin when @he District-Attorney wants him. Mr. Jerome has received positive @urances, not from the young man him- elf, but from those authorized to speak for him, that he has no intention of @isobeying the subpoena that was served en ‘aim. ‘The positive assurance that young Mr. |Manderbiit will be on hand to testify jfmas the cause of much congratulation fn the District-Attorney's office, for it Is jbelleved that he will be the strongest wwitnézs against Bucklin and that he will greatly aid the State to prove that the Yhouse at No. 6 East Forty-fourth street ‘was a gambling house conducted by Richard Canfield and managed by Da ‘WW. Bucktin. Will Tell of Big Losses. ‘Mr. Vanderbilt is expected to tell a wery interestine story. It is already matter of common gossip that on the eccasion of his last birthday he went to Canfield's, with other young men of his wet, and lost a considerable sum of money playing the wheel. No accurate statement has ever been forthcoming as to the details of this midnight visit to Canfield’s, but it is said that Mr. Van- @erbilt lost all the way from $7,000 to $50,000. It 18 possible that Mr. Vanderbilt may be asked to relate all the detalis of his futile buck ageinst the tiger, and if 80 it will be a very interesting session. Mr. Vanderbilt is still in Newport with his (brother, Alfred Gwynne, and his sister- in-law. The fact that he showed no dis- poaition to return caused Mr. Jerome to announce that he would get out @ body warrant against the person of the young men. His announcement was, (me Goudt, the reason for-the assurances fhe recelved later that the young man ywould positively appear in court when wanted.

Judge Warren W. Foster heard a mo- tion today to hasten the trial of Kate Tetford Hickie, who has been in the Tombs since Oct. 14 charged with per- jury, which Involves one of the many strange stories of her eccentric career. This charge grew out of a suit for $500 for services under an alleged con- tract’ with her boarding-house keeper Mrs. Jennie E. Kuttengen. Mrs, Kut- tengen repudiated the contract and de- clared that when Miss Hickie testified that she had agreed to give her free board and $500 for acting as her private secretary for five years she committed perjury. The prisoner, who has been incarcer- ated ina cell for more than four months despite the law which directs that ell accused should be brought to trial after one term of court unless public neces- sity prevents, has begun to show signs of great physioal weakness and mental depression. She is nale, haggard and hollow-cheeked and her nerves are 80 unstrang that ahe can hardly contro! her voice. Her counsel, R. J.
