So much was know to the magistrate,
however, that he fel, Justified in holding
lIaynnn under $500 bonds for his ap-
malan,c at the May term of he Superior
Court
F'om what has been done since last
saturday it appears that an effort is being
made by llavnan and his friends to
settle the matter out OF court, but it Is
more than likely hat il will prove
abortv".
The story behind the case is one which
has some little romance connected with
it, |, is the same old story OF cnnfd-
ing woman becoming the victim of a de-
sI1nlng man, who, under the gulsc OF Il
lover, obtained the confluence Of the I'M
Sllspccllny victim 10y promise of mar
riagc.
About il year ago Iiayman became ac-
uuainlrd with Miss Nictorinc Hollis, and
by his attention to her and frequent
visits caused her to believe that he loved
her "-
On her part the friendship soon
rlpcncd into love, and when the offer OF
marriage was made Hayman was readily
accepted.
Previous to asking for the hand of
Miss Hollis, Ilaynan had made the dis
covcry shat she had bank account.
Later actions uI his part show that
this latter was the great uttractiu ion, ior
shortly after the engagement Ilayman.
il is alleged, c"nc"clcd IL scheme by
which he secured 500 from Miss Hollis
bank account.
This was obtained by representing
that some property which he owned
was about to he sold under foreclosure
proceedings, but this could be avoided
by the payment of 5000.
This amount he secured without any
hc~ltancy on the part OF Miss Hollis. a.
size was lrd t" believe that the money
would be used in saving home which
Size would soon enjoy in the capacity Of
its mistress.
Later invest CATION proved that instead
OF applying hchohry to the paying off
oI the mortgage llayman simply paid
the interest which was due, amount in"
to 81, and when rcprovcd for the drcrp-
ZION became rnrAgrd AN charged his
victim with >tnginr>~.

Miss Hollis letter IN which he declared
his intention Of fulfilling his engage

debt.
Ills delay in returning the money
caused Miss Hollis to suspect that SIl"
was being made a wet i'm Of by the man
t" whom she had promised her hand in
marriage
Finally Miss Hollis ,hrra, med to sue
for the recovery of the money and made
preparations for doing 50.

evidence Of the Indebtedness.

Thinking himself alone IN the house
he turned to leave II when he was sud
denly confronted by Miss Hollis. who
demanded an expIamti"n of.i'iS conduct,
but without result.
This action on the part OF IIayinan
convinced Miss Hollis That her lover was
unworthy Of her confidence and hat l.c
did not intend to r.turn the money or to
marry her.
She sought the aid nf the law t" recover
