SIMON UHLMANN CAME NOT.
The Bank Muddle Inquiry Waited
Long for Him.
Untermeyer Intimated that the
Financier Is Afraid.

Simon Uhlman, a brother OF Frederick
Uhlman, and a leading officer in the
Glen Ridge Quarry and Mining Company
was to have been a witness before Ref
cree William G. Choate this morning
In the suit of the receivers of the Madi-
son Square Bank against Hugh ]. Grant.
receiver of the st. Nicholas Bank.
Counsel for the plaintiffs have been
looking for Mr.. Uhlman for the last few
days. They were desirous of having him
explain how he came to open an ac-
count at the Hanover National Bank
on the morning Of Aug. 9. 1893. the day
Of the Madison Square Bank failure.
where he deposited a check for almost
81 800 drawn against the Madison Square
Bank.
Lawyer Untermeyer, for the plaintiff,
intimated that the Uhlmanns were fully
cognizant OF the condition of the Madison
Square Bank.
The hearing was called for 1880 o'clock,
but an hour went by, and Mr. Uhlmann
remained conspicuous by his absence.
Mr.. Cntermeyer said II have had
good reason to believe that Simon Uhl-
man would not appear before us unless
he found 1t impossible to get out of 1t.
He has every reason for wanting to keep
out of this matter, but we mean to keep
the case open until he has testified. We
were old that he had gone TO Boston,
but l understand that Is not true"
Referee Choate refused to discuss Mr..
Uhlman's failure to appear before him.
