Nat Raphael Tries To Hold Arthur
LaRoche For Lease The Latter
Claims Was Never Signed

Lambertvile-Qui a little excite
ment was stirred up on Church street
yesterday morning when Constables
Morse and Rosso served writs of
attachments on Arthur LaRoche,
French Bakery Proprietor, on the
charge that lease had been VIC
lated. The attachments covered
stocks of flour, sugar and other raw
bakery materials which Mr.. LaRoche
was removing from the building ut
25 Church street, and also Mr.. La
Roche's automobile.
The attachments were issued pre-
sumably because Mr.. LaRoche was
vacating the property in violation of
a years lease But Mr.. LaRoche We
hemently denied that lease had
ever been signed, and defied Raphael
to produce one. The attachments
claimed $500 for n years rent, but
Mr.. LaRoche said that the verbal
agreement made with Raphael when
he rented the property was that the
rent would be $50a month for six
months, and then if the property
proved satisfactory he would pay
$75. month for another six months
Mr.. LaRoche alleges that after h.
started operations at the bakery he
found the ovens in such a bad state
of repair that it was impossible to
operate them economically and to
produce goods in satisfactory guam
titles to enable him to make any
money. He moved into the store on
February 9th, and he says his rent
was paid up to April lst After find
ing to his regret that the property
was unsatisfactory he decided to
vacate. And it was when he started
removing his goods from The build
ing that the attachments were ser
we'd
Mr.. LaRoche secured Andrew r.
Johnson, local automobile dealer, as
bondsman so that his goods and car
could be released. In connection with
arranging the bond Mr.. Johnson
phoned Mr.. LaRoche's bank in Phil
adelphia, his home, and was inform
ed that LaRoche was good for any
thing within reason, and assured Mr..
Johnson that if he didn't want TO
stand as bondsman that the bank
would do it. And not to be daunted,
Mr.. LaRoche Immediately secured
81 900. in cash from his bank and
announced himself ready to pay any
just debt that anyone might have
against him, but that he would not
stand for being held up for some
thing he didn't owe
A hearing is to be held on the
attachments in Pennington around
the 18th Of April, and Mr.. LaRoche
has retained Attorney Horace G
Prall, and is confident he can prove
he never signed lease with Mr.
Raphael.
Tenants of the bakery have form
ed an irregular procession, in and
out. The last occupant moved across
the street, and il is rumored that
Mr.. Raphael had differences in that
case. Mr.. LaRoche claims that hC
had not sought the occupancy Of thu
building, but that Raphael had SEN
him special delivery letter t'
Philadelphia, urging him TO come
here, and assuring him that any
terms agreeable to him could b.
provided. And now Mr.. LaRocht
says he finds that the main obieo
Mr.. Raphael had in gettin" hin
here was to force competition OF
the other occupant who had vacated
