In his report Commissioner Baldwin ax-
pressed the belief that Michael T.. Lally,
the Yonkers hotel keeper, never loaned the
money to Mccormick to buy the automo-

drove lie does not believe that McCor-
mick was frank in telling where this
money came from. The inference is
what Commissioner Baldwin has tried in
vain to bring out In the electromagnetic

warden with AN automobile.
