INVOICES THAT LIED.
Coundouris Accused of Using
Them to Obtain $4,000.
Cigarette. Maker Arrested on His
Return from Europe.
Richard g. Co. Alleged that He
Made False Representations.

Nicholas Coundouris. a cigarette man
ufacturer and importer Of Turkish to-
bacco, at 90 Broadway. was arrested
Saturday morning as he stepped from
the steamship Paris. by Deputy Sheriff
Geraty.
The arrest was made upon an order
issued by Justice Lawrence. Of the Su-
preme Court, in an action begun by c,
b. Richards q Co., bankers marine in
surance and forwarding agents, at 81
Broadway. who charge Coundouris with
having secured So, 500 from them by false
and fraudulent representations.
In default OF S. 800 bail Coundouris was
lodged In Ludlow Street Jail.
oscar L. Richard one OF the com
plainants, stys his firm had done some
marine insurance and forwarding busi-
ness for Coundouris In connection with
the importation oil Turkish tobacco, and
that last Spring the latter suggested that
the firm advance him money on tobacco
shipments, saying he did not want more
than from 80 to 10 per cent. OF the value
OF the tobacco, as sworn to on the Con.
sular invoices. Richard claims that
Coundouris represented himself as being
worth 50.0vJ over his liabilities, as hay
ing home In Smyrna and factory In
New Brunswick. N. j., and as doing a
large business.
Richard & Co. say that this induced
them to give Coundouris a letter of credit
on the Chartered Bank OF lndla, AUS
tralia and China for 1900 and another
for w. s. Sulzbach, n Paris banker, for
%. 900 francs. Coundouris's brother, in
Smyrna, was to draw against the let
tiers OF credit, the drafts to be based on
the sworn valuation of the consignments
OF tobacco.
Under this arrangement, 1t Is alleged.
that on June 25, 1894, a draft was drawn
for ESQ, and on July 10 another for $50.
This exhausted one of the credits, and on
July 8 a draft for 1850 francs was drawn
against the Paris banker. Richard then
alleges that the inquiries made by him
about Coundouris resulted In his having
an expert examine the first shipments
of tobacco, which arrived on July 49, IL
Is said that the expert reported that the
tobacco was worth only about one-fifth
OF the amount at which II was valued on
| the Consular invoice. Richard says he
| learned that Coundours was then Smyr-
| ma, and not In the West, on business, ms
| Richard had been told. and he stopped
| by cable further drafts on Paris, and
visited New Brunswick. He found Coun.
douris's factory in charge of two boys
who said It had been idle for severa
| weeks The proceedings against Coun'
douris were then begun.
| 1t is said that Coundouris denies any
| intention to defraud.

Cable Car Struck Mccormack
Truck, Throwing Him in the Air.
Andy Mccormack truck driver, threw
a somersault high into the air this morn
ing for the first time in his life and is
not likely to forget the experience soon.
He was driving a wagon belonging to
Richard Smith, of 2lO West Thirtieth
street, along Park Row.
Arriving at Pearl street, about s
o'clock he encountered a cable car run
ming at top speed. The car struck
the front wheels OF his truck with suffi-
Client force to upset the truck and throw
Andy "back-twister" about ten feet
high.
On his downward night a couple Of
'longshoremen. who witnessed the acci-
dent. caught Andy and threw him on his
feet The force of the fall, however
staggered Andy, and after landing all
right he fell forward on his face in the
street, and received a number OF severe
cuts on his head.
For a few minutes he was dazed, and
when he recovered his speech his first
remark was, Am I killed? I don't
know"
When assured that he was on earth.
Andy remarked: Well. ought to know;
The front running gear of the truck
was badly damaged. Andy was put TO-
gether with sticking plaster, the cable
car proceeded downtown and the excite
ment was soon over.
The car was numbered IS and the grip
