State OF West Virginia, County OF ohio, to
IFp. Nuzum, a notary public in and
dor ssid county and State, do hereby cert.
fy that A, J. LYDIA, plaintiff in the forego.
ing bill, this day made oath before me
that the statements therein contained 30
far as made from his own knowledge, aud
upon that knowledge are true, aud that go
isr as they are stated upon information he
believes them to be true. Given under my
hand this 22d day OF November, 1885,
F. P. MUM,
Notary Public IS aforesaid.
The above confession Of DR.. LYDIA was
secured by an ISTTELLIoENCER commlss'
Toner while rummsging through the
Oity Building yesterday afternoon. The
affair has been known to great many
persons in the city for some weeks, but
had not obtained general circulation. ".
LYDIA said nothing about the note or the
transaction until the note was received oy
the Exchange Bank OF this city Tor collec'
ton, when he took advice OF Col.
White and applied for an injunction,
restraining all the cashiers in this city
from paving or collecting the note. Mr..
,John J. Jones, Cashier o. the Exchange
Bank, at once notified ]. F. Larkiu 4 Co.,
the Cincinnati bankers who had sent hun
Inc note, that his bank had been enjoined
from collecting it, aud by return mail
Larkin & Co, informed the Wheeling bank
that they were not interested in the note.
So the matter lies, and the probabilities
are that there will be no more trouble 10
the Doctor on account OF his TOOL
ighness. Larkin & Co. say the note
was given them for collection by
John B. Sherman, who had been recon-
mended to them by POLICY" Bill smith,
q noted sporting man Of Cincinnati, VINO
had also told them that he had met sher-
man in Colorado, and he would be q man
who would keep good account with the
bank. Among the papers filed by DR..
Lyda in his motion for an injunction, ID
COPY OF the note, which is as follows:
CrScISSATI, November 10, 1880.
Five days after date promised to pay
10 the order OF Fl. D. Hood, eight hundred
and fifteen dolsrs (sSl5, COY at the National
Bank OF West Virginia, (Wheeling,) with
interest, until paid, at one and one'haIi
per cent per month. Value received.
A. J. LYDIA.
Endorsed.

JouN B. SHERMAN.
This affair has naturally caused much
comment in this city, not only on account
OF the magnitude Of the swindle, but
more on account OF the position that the
Doctor holds in the community. 1t Il
likely, however, that hereafter not only
he, but all other West Virginia ministers
will be on the alert, while in Cincinnati
