LAW OF 100. Is ATTACKED.

The constitutionality of the law OF
1907 In regard to the testimony OF
witnesses at preliminary hearing
was argued yesterday in the supreme
court the constitutionality of the
law being attacked by Attorney
Morehouse, who represented George
Gibson being tried for the murder of
Engineer Mansell at Goldfield. The
law provides that a stenographer may
keep a record of the evidence, etc,
taken at a preliminary hearing and
that in case of the absence of any
of the witnesses of the trial, the
evidence taken by the stenographer
may be submitted. The principal
ground on which the law is attacked
is that the defense or the state, as
the case may be, has no chance to
impeach the witness owing to the
fact that ground for impeachment
cannot be laid
Gibson shot Mansell to death as
the result of a quarrel of a petty
nature. After a long trial he was
convicted of manslaughter and sem
fenced to serve five years in the
nitentiary.-Carson News.
With the murderer of the negro at
large, we are unable to fathom the

the state for turning murderers loose

as Humboldt is concerned.

Stagnation throughout the country
is the cry of the immediate moment.
That 1t is true is largely probable.
That 1t will remain true for long is
altogether improbable. The people
of the United States are not made
that way. They cannot stand still
and do not propose to. If they lack
faith or confidence in some things
that have been or that are now, they
will go about putting their money
into enterprises carrying new brand
of their own making and to their lik-
ing. One way or another they will
see to 1t that their money moves and
makes more money.

$l,25O,OOO CASH DEAL
LYONS BUILDING IN FIFTH
AVENUE SOLD.
Marked Improvement in Realty
Market Shoson by Transfer of
TzrelUe Story Structure.

The jeremiah G. Lyons Building and Operat-
ing Company figured yesterday in of the
largest deals affecting central Fifth avenue
| properties reported in many months. This
transaction clearly indicates what a marked i'm
provement has taken place In the realty market
of the greater city since the financial depression
of 1907
Overtures were recently made to purchase the
Lyons Building, a twelve story office and store
structure No 236 and 23S Fifth avenue, which
is just north of the Johnson property, at the
northeast corner OF 9th street and Fifth ave
nue. The building has q frontage OF % feet In
the avenue. a north line of 123 feet and south
line Of 100 feet. An agreement was virtually
made yesterday for the purchase of this build
ing for 81 100000 cash.
For years prior to the beginning OF the panic
in 1907 the company had been one of the fore
most in improving high class properties in the
principal residential and business districts of the
city The position which II occupied in the
realty field was due to the combined efforts OF
jeremiah c. Lyons, a builder of many years
experience and Ernest Gordon Stedman, a law
yer and an able real estate investor and op-
orator.
No one connected with the real estate market
had the slightest idea that trouble was in store
for the company. In December, 1901, when
Samuel Godsticker and E. Ritzema De Grove
were appointed by Judge Hough, OF the United
States Federal Court, as temporary receivers
of the company the real estate market received
severe shock 1t was then learned that the
difficulty experienced by the concern was its in
ability to get ready cash. notwithstanding the
fact that it owned In fee simple large numbers
Of improved properties and a fine vacant plot In
the upper Fifth avenue zone, the total value OF
which was about S7.O00O00. The total liabili-
ties. including mortgages amounting to S3,9OO,-
OO0 were about S4.5O0,OOO.
A few weeks later the market was stunned
nv the death of Ernest Gordon Stedman, who
was the vice-president of the concern ana
owned a half interest in the company. He fell
from the subway station at 14th street and was
RIM over and instantly killed by train.
About four months ago Messrs Goldstckef
and De Grove ended their duties as temporary
receivers as the company was once more IN a
sound condition and finding a quick and
proftable market for it's properties. In a little
less than eleven months the company has not
on1v emerged from the difficulties which beset
II in the trying days of the financial depression
of 1907. but it is figuring as one OF the largest
and most successful sellers.
Another feature of the real estate market yes
tardav was the sale OF the Johnson Building, at
1F7e junction of westchester and Prospect ave
nues bv Jacob LeitneT TO the American Real
Estate COMPANY The sellers were Henry Nor
genthau and Frederick Johnson. The property
was held at $45O.000.
