Jerome, former district attorney of New York city and the man who sent Harry K. Thaw to Matteawan and kept him there, was arrested here Thursday on a charge of gam bling. Representatives of New York state here who are seeking the de portation of Thaw asserted Jerome's arrest was a part of a plot hatched by the fugitive's attorneys. Jerome was led through the streets with a hostile mob of hooting men and boys at his heels. He was locked in the same cell which Harry Thaw occupied when he was first arrested here. Played in Poker Gnme. Jerome was not permitted to re ceive visitors, and spent his time pacing his cell. Dr. Kieb, superin tendent of Matteawan asylum, was greatly aroused over Jerome's ar rest. He called United StateB Con sul Daniels over the lone distance telephonee in an effort to arrange for the attorney's release. While Jerome's automobile was waiting yesterday in the expectation that Thaw would be ordered de ported, the newspaper correspond ents started a poker game, in which Jerome, it is alleged, joined. The game was played openly, while a hos tile crowd looked on. Residents of Coatlcook mostly sympathize with Shaw, and Milford Aldridge, a prominent citizen, noti fied the police that Jerome and sev eral others were gambling. Admitted to Hail. Jerome was ar-ested at the Coat lcook Hotel after Aldridge had de clared that he saw money passed between the players. Jerome be trayed no surprise over his arrest, and accompanied Patrolman John Andrews to the jail without a word of complaint. Jerome was admitted to bail by Magistrate McKee after spending an hour in a cell. The case againHt the attorney probably will be continued to permit him to conclude his work in the Thaw case here. Thaw's attorneys denied that they were responsible for Jerome's arrest. Jerome's bail was set at $500. His case is set for 9 o'clock tomor row, when he may be dealt out the maximum punishment of one year In jail under the technical charge against him of "common gambling on railroad property." Newspaper men who played poker with Jerome say the game was "penny ante" with a 10-cent limit. They declare that Jerome lost 54 cents.
