| SAN FRANCISCO, September 28.--Dr.
Thomas Il. lyman Of Modesto, the capi-
talist who disappeared October 10, 1892,
and for information OF whom Mrs. Ty-
nan offered reward Of 5000, returned
TO the city this morning. DR.. lyman
came from Reno, New, and Immediately
upon his arrival went to the Grangers'
Bank. The two years. absence Of the
doctor has wrought much change in his
appearance. His once tall and massive
figure is now shrunken and STOPPING.
Many OF his old friends and business &C
quaintances were In the bank to meet
him, and he greeted them in an absent
minded sort OF way and acted generally
as one who was in o dream and sur
prised at nothing. When asked where
he had been all this time he said in Bog
ton, and refused TO say anything further.
The meeting between Mrs. lyman and
her husband was remarkably common
place, and no emotion was shown by
either. Mrs. lyman Is said not to have
seen her husband since his mysterious
disappearance, and was dressed in deep
mourning for his supposed death.
DR.. lyman is the heaviest property
-. IL IL
rector OF the Grangers' Bank in this city
and well known to people all over the
Pacific Coast, among whom he has been
familiar figure for years, his large
wealth, his prolonged vigorous strength
and business capacity having made him
conspicuous. He was over 75 years of
age when he disappeared. October 16
he was in the Grangers' Bank in this
city, and then there was paid over TO
him the sum of 5000. From then un-
til now he has been supposed dead. In
July, 1893, his wife offered q reward of
81, 600 TO any person who should furnish
information that he was alive. No such
information came. What was tempora.
rily supposed to be his body was report
ed sometimes in one place and sometimes
in another. The detectives, however,
insisted that they had traced lyman TO
Sacramento, where he bought ticket
to New York under the name OF Thomas
s. Stanley, but farther than this they
could not trace him.
His wife searched for many months
for him, and finally concluded that he
was dead. On the showing made Judge
Minor OF Stanislaus county decided that
he was dead. John Slater, local Spir-
itualist, gave to the Grangers' Bank the
first authentic information about DIR.
lyman few days ago. He said that the
missing physician was in Reno, and
asked that some one be sent with him to
Reno. Accordingly Henry Mccormack,
who Is connected with the bank, and
who knew DIR. lyman, went TO Reno with
Slater. The Identification was complete.
Slater said that he knew DIR. lyman,
whom he had met east OF the Rocky
Mountains. As TO finding the doctor
Slater attributes it all to the spirit form
of DR.. Tynan's first wife. He says:
"May % was writing letter in my
suite OF rooms in the Clarendon Hotel
in Boston. 1t was o letter to my wife.
It was about 7:30 o'clock. Suddenly q
woman's form stood over me-distinctly
as could be. I'm Rose Marvin lyman

Thomas L. lyman / went Immediate

than twenty minutes walk from my ho-
tel. The street and number have prom
ised not to reveal. When | rang the
bell asked for DR.. lyman. They told

tel, and we talked together until after

Then he left Boston, and returned soon
after to California. saw Mrs. lyman,
but she would not believe that / had
seen the doctor. She believes 1t now.
Early In August went back and found
tMhe The doctor again. We went to New York
together, and Monday, the 18th instant,
we left there, bound this way. We
stopped one day in Chicago and reached
Reno, where left DR.. lyman last Satur-
day."
Slater, it lie understood, has the prom
ise OF 5000 and expenses. Mrs. lyman
would not fix any sum until she saw the
doctor, and this amount was agreed to
to-day. DIR. lyman will now take steps
in the Stanislaus county courts to have
himself declared being in the flesh, as
his estate, valued at 5000, 900, has been
distributed among his heirs. The San
Francisco police are skeptical about the
Spiritualist's story, and hint that DIR.
lyman was induced to disappear by some
means unknown to them. DIR. lyman
himself is an ardent believer in Spirit
ualism. Captain Lees stated this after
noon that the police ascertained three
months ago that lyman was living quiz
etly in Brooklyn, N. Y, on the $1,000 he
had taken with him. He had been adj
vised by some Spiritualists in this city
to go away. The police, 1t is said, in
formed Tynan's relatives of his where
abouts, who opened communication with
him, and the result finally was his re-
turn.
