Something of sensation was caused
in this city yesterday by rumor that
one of our best known citizens was about
to publish statement concerning some
unusual experiences during his residence
in Syracuse. How the rumor originated
it is impossible to say, but reporter inn
mediately sought DIR. S. G. Martin, the
gentleman in question, and secured the
following interview:
