LYNN AFTER LA MAZDA.
VIII Try to Have Him Indicted for
Perjury.

Justice Lynn. of the First District
Civil Court, who is counsel for Assembly
man Thomas O'Donnell, of the Eighth
District, announced this morning that
he would attempt to have Charles La
MAZDA, the Republican politician who is
contesting O'Donneli's seat, Indicted for
perjury.
The question which Justice Lynn raises
Is, whether La MAZDA Is a citizen of the
United States. He said that during a
session of the Legislative Committee, La
MAZDA swore he voted at the last Presi-
dental election, inc was naturalized in
the Federal Building.
Upon investigation he learned that La
Mazda came to this country IN 1881 and
took out a minors paper in he Court Of
Common Pleas.
In 1891 his vote was challenged and he
refrained from voting. On Nov. l3. 1891,
he took out new papers in the United
States Court n filed the Common Pleas
papers.
Justice Lynn says La Mazda is guilty
OF perjury, but the laws OF limitation
may save him from being Indicted on
this charge.
An attempt will be made to have his
citizen papers set aside. and an affidavit
will be filed showing that his citizenship
was based on perjury.
