The Pullman Car Company Explains
Mrs. Spaldlpg's Suit
Enters Upon m Era Of Econamy.
Kentucky Legislation

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-"We did not know
bill of particulars had been filed in the case
of Mrs. Lydia Spalding, nor do we know
who her attorneys are," was the statement
made at the law offices of the Pullman
Palace Car company today. This alluded
to the suit begun by Mrs. Spalding, San
francisco hotel keeper. against the Pull
man company for 100000 damages for
alleged false arrest and imprisonment, In
which the Denver and Rio Grande railroad
is made co-defendant.
1.-THE reason Mrs. Spalding was removed
from the car" continued the company's
attorney, twas that she appeared to be
mentally deranged, and had to be guarded
to prevent her doing herself injury. The
railroad employees, not the Pullman COM
pany's employees, telegraphed the Lead
vile authorities for assistance. At Lead
vile the sheriff and his men came aboard
with an inventory of Mrs. Spalding'a ef-
fects and removed her. They took her,
believe. to some place of detention. Her
effects inventoried about $4OO. The in
yentory was made in the presence OF wit
nesses and their names are on record"
Questioned about tho alleged conspiracy
among the car porters, the attorney said
there was nothing in u. The porters, ne
beyond guarding the woman in transit.
