Parks and Lyman's arrests at Asbury
Park were brought about by a charge
made by William Myers. who was
under arrest for selling liquor and run
ming a gambling-house.
Meyers was arrested on Tuesday, and
after spending the night in prison and
| being unable to find a bondsman, sent

League and made the charge against
Alderman Parks and Lyman.
Myers had u hearing yesterday after
noon. He said that the gambling para
phernalia found in his house was sent
there by Alderman Parks from his New
York residence in West Thirty-hrst
street. He said that Parks brought the
gambling outfits to his house without
