Raymond, a colored gen- tleman with self-professed philan- thropical tendencies, was arraigned befere Judge James T. Meskill in police court this morning on two charge that of obtaining money from Frederick G. Platt under false pretenses and also of ‘violating the law which provides that all solicitors for institutions must obtain a ceriifi- cate of credence from the state Loard of charities. Raymond was repre- sented by Lawyer M. H. Camp and after much quibbling the colored man finally ugreed to plead guilty to both counts. On the- first count he w sent to Jail for six months and on the second count he was fined $100 and costs and sent to jail for 30 days. haymond was arrested by Deteciive Sergennt A. J. Richardson on a -war- | rant iesued by Prosecutor G. W. Klett, wio had been appraisel of the man's | activities in this city. '~ According to the evidence introduced in court the man hes been conducting a campaign in this city. for various funds, among which was a fund for the Industrial Institute at Utica, which, he said, had been destroyed b. fire. Hc 2lso collected money to pay his own expenses on an alleged cha- tauqua tour and for other alleged funds. Prosecutor ‘Klett stated that from various sources in this city the man had collected between $150 and $200. Among those whom he visited and from whom he ebtained contri- butions was Frederick G. Platt, pres- ident of the New Britain Machine company. Mr. Platt donated $10 but this amount was raised to $100 in Raymond’s account book and, it was stated by the prosecutor, on the strength of these figures others in the city was induced to give larger amounts. Frank H. Alford donated ! $2 and -this amount was raised to $20 | with evidently the same purpose. Mrs. Theresa B. Stanley gave Raymond $10, and Mrs. Charles S. Landers also contributed a check for $10 to his fund. Rev. Dr. G. W. C. Hill was another who contributed . to Ray- mond’s alleged fund, as did Edward N.. Stanley, treasurer of the Savings Bank of New Britain. A Mr. Witte- more likewise contributed $10 more. Speaking for his client, Lawyer Camp said that Raymond-has been giving a series of lectures before the colored people of this city and has been working to establish a club here for the fostering of moral and rclig- ious work and the betterment of en- tertainment for the local colored peo- ple. He has also been collecting funds for the southern institution, he said, and at the same time has been conducting his own lecture course, Some of his collections he gave to the school while others had to be used for his personal expenses, At the time he visited Mr. Platt, Raymond told him he had but seven cents in his pocket. ' 1 According to information given out at police Xgadquarters, Raymond has been arrested before. It is said that | he was before the police court in Hartford about a year ago and fined $36 and costs for an offense. Ray- mond himself claims to be well con- nected and told Probation Officer | E. C. Connelly that he is a lawyer by profession, being a member of standing before the bar in Pennsyl- vania. The law under which Raymond was prosecuted this morning was drafted at the last session of the legislature and was enacted on the recommenda- tion of the judiciary committee which wag headed by Senator Klett, who himself prosecuted the case today. This was the first prosecution under this law in New Britain. At the time the lJaw was passed a large delegation appeared before the judiclary com- mittee to favor its passage, setting forth that heretofore many fake so- licitors claiming to represent out of state institutions had been making a practice of fleecing philanthropic Connecticut people. By compelling these solicitors to get a certificate from the state board of charities the public would thereby be protected and know that the claims made were bona fide.

News of Mr. Lyman’s demise caused surprise throughout the city. | He was about 79 vears of age, and for the past 40 years has lived in'this | city where he carried on a sewer con- tracting business.

Assistance immediately came to his side and he | was taken to a house nearby for treatment. { For the remainder of the forenoon, Mr. Lyman remained around the job, and when noon arrived he went home. Dr. Joseph Robinson, the family physician, was notified of the accident with instructions to be at the Lyman home. Examination by Dr. Robinson disclosed that Mr. Ly- man’s left wrist was badly fractured, besides suffering from the shock, and the injured man was ordered to bed immediately. During the afternoon, the prescrip- tion which the physician ordered failed to arrive from the drug store, and Miss Lyman called the doc- tor on the telephone regarding it. On leaving the 'phone, she detected an odd noise coming from the injured man’s bedroom. Rushing to the bed- side, Miss Lyman at once noticed that her father had an apparent change in condition and Dr. Robinson was summoned. Before ‘his arrival Mr. Lyman died. Dr. Roger M.
