City court had a real mys- tery today-whose car did Pa- trolman John Moore tag on Union street Saturday?
 PatrOlman Moore said it was an automobile owned by Michael Hyland, AZ, of 1181 Baldwin street. Mir. Hyland said his car had not been on Union street at all Saturday and hence could not have been tagged.
 Tine officer related to Judge John F. McGrath that on Sat- urday he had put a tag on a car on Union street. No one appeared at headquarters to pay the requisite dollar, and yesterday, the marker num- bers of the car were checked. Last night, Mir. Hyland was notified to appear in court to- day.
 Mir. Hyland said that no tag had been placed on his car Saturday. He'd driven all about the city, he said, but he hadn't touched Union street, and he was most certain that he hadn't parked there. Fur therInore, he went on, he could relate his movements for the day in full detail, to show that 1t couldn't have been his car that was tagged.
