CHEATED HIM
New Yorker Sues to Recover
100000 Alleged to BE Due
on Fraudulent Bond Sale
ATTACHMENT Is ISSUED
Plaintiff Says He Was In.
duced to Buy Securities
in Excess of Their Value

NEW YORK, April 12.-Justice
Blanchard in the Supreme Court to-
day issued an attachment in an ac-
tion brought by Arthur L. Meyer
against the property of DR.. w. Seward
Webb in this State. The attachment
was served.
The suit is brought to recover $400,-
600, with interest from December 10,
1901.
In an affidavit on which the attach
ment was granted Meyer says that on
August l, 1901, Dr. Webb was the own
er of income bonds which had been is
sued by the Mohawk and Malone Rail-
road Company, of the par value of
$9,900,000, and induced him (Meyer) to
purchase them by falsely representing
that the New York Central and Hud-
son River Railroad Company was de-
sirous Of purchasing the bonds and
had, through its officials, offered to
purchase them for a price exceeding
100000, but that he CDR. Webb did
not desire to sell to the New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad
Company because certain of its di-
rectors were related to him by mar
riage and might be criticized If they
purchased directly from him, while If
they purchased the bonds from a
stranger neither he nor they would be
subject to criticism
These representations" says the af-
fidavit, were made to me with the
knowledge Of their falsity on the part
Of the defendant and with intent to
cheat and defraud me for the purpose
of inducing me, in reliance thereon,
to pay him the sum of So, 900, 900, which
was largely in excess of the actual
value of the bonds, to the extent of
$400 000.'

Columbia Herald: There is also
aDOther class of well-meaning sup
porters of the circuit attorney who
have gathered the idea that the public
service is honey-combed with fraud,
that every public official is dishonest
and that the entire state administration
reeks with corruption. This is as
absurd as it is pitiable. With all of
the hostility and m~alevolence of the
republican newspapers constantly busy
there has never yet been unearthed a
a single evidence of dishonesty in the
management of state affairs. Outside
q lieutenant-governor aud a few state
senator's there has never been a faint
or suggestion of wrongdoing in the
management Of the slate finances. It
is doubtful if any state ever had a
cleaner administration II should be
the pride and glory Of every citizen.

goguery of those who are guilty of it

1t be unalloyed. If MI. Folk stands

being a protest againss the present

will be a high type and symbol Of it.
