representative Of The World who was a
fellow passenger on the Great Northern

arguments used in the adoption of the
form iii one city absolutely impossible

the addition of third column for flu

COURT DETAINS DR.. LYMAN
Cuban Trip Waits Until Tangle
Over Auto Is Unravelled.

DR.. John Grant Lyman, real estate
broker, OF No. i7 West i-d street, who was
arrested on Wcdno sday as he was about TO
sail for cuba and held in $500 bail on the
charge OF grand larceny had a hearing be-
fore Magistrate Harris, in TIE Tombs court
: csterday. Henry l.. Kibbe, assistant man
ager OF the Renault Frercs Company, Of
40. ~ Broadway, complained that Or.
Lyman had obtained an automobile valued
at $4,000 by giving note on which no pay
mert was made, and that he hal shipped
the machine to Cuba.
The testimony showed that DR. Lyman
Rad tried the car, paying $40 rent, and on
November II. 1870 agreed to buy the car
for 5000. the rent money TO go as part
payment. on November &c he sent a note
for $3.50 10 the Rcnault concern, 20 fall
due on January !. The note was put in the
Riverside Bank and. according 10 the as
sstant manager Of the bank, William
Broad, was discounted by the Renault com
pany. Paul LacroiS, general manager OF
the Renault company, said the note had not
been discounted or II ii had the company
had not received credit for IT.
The Riverside Bank failed on December
q. and the note is still in its possession,
figuring as ono OF it's assets. Several wit
nesses were examined relative TO financial
transactions with Dr. Lyman, and counsel
for the prisoner moved for dismissal OF the
case On the ground that no crime had been
established. Magistrate Harris. however.
denied the motion and adjourned the eX-
animation to Monday, at y. m, at the Do
nestle Relations court. I'm 5ith street.
