THE EIsEMAN IMBRoGLIo.



In the cases of Stern Bro. & Falk, Alfred
Benjamin IL Co., and the Rosenberg Manu-
featuring company against Moses f. Eiseman,
the clothier, under odd Fellows hall, where
attachments were issued and subsequently
quashed by Judge Wylie, there were allidavits
put In by both sides in which fraud and per.
Jury were charged As the statements on one
slde were directly and positively cont Trajectory
OF those made on the other 1t was difficult to
see now they could be harmoniled and all
parties be telling the truth, aud the charge
that some one was swearing falsely would
seem to be well supported Subsequent TO
the disposition OF the suits above named
Mr; Miller, as attorney for Brennan,
Heidelberg 4 Co. brought two suits against
Eiseman to recover an account goods sold
and delivered backed by the usual aiiidavts
alleging fraud, Sc, and certain statements as
having been made TO Mr.. N. II. Miller, at his
residence, by n clerk in the store named Neu-
meyer Mcssrs Leon Tobrner and a, g.
Bradley, as attorneys for Mr.. Eiseman, filed
motion to quash the attachment issued in the
last two cases and the same has been set for
hearing next Thursday. lfsome of the icts
set out in the responding affidavit of Mr. Neu.
meyer arc correct, II shows peculiar state OF
affairs and would give good cause for doubling
lhe honesty OF the manner in which the am
davts were secured, and in the truth of the
statements some of them contain. The motion
to qunsh Is based on the ground that the writs
were improvidently issued, the ailidayits in,
upon information and belief only, and because
the defendant had not removed his property
rom the district so as TO defeat the Just
demands against him. Mr.. Eiscman in his
ahdavit makes tho same specific dcnials to
the charges that he did in the other suits and
asserts that the allegations contained In the
alhdayit of Sween Mcdonald are false, the re-
| suit of spite because he was discharged from
the employ of Mr.. Eiscman on account OF
suspected dishonesty and for revenge. Ru-

Der, and Mr.. Miller continued to interrogate
Mr., Ncumeyer as to Escman's band account

inc, desired information. lie answered that
nEn@ ne knew @ nothing Of Mr. Eiseman,s affairs, and
/
ing any information. Mr. Miller then, before
| leaving, exacted n promise from Neumeyer to
call at the formers residence. A few days AZ
terward he sent word to Mr.. Miller that he
had no opportunity or time to call. About the
