Has No Connection With Indicted Broker. ‘The Evening World of Nov, 7 last told of the indictment of Lawyer Ed- ward Lauterbach and David Lamar, a broker, charged with conspiracy to defraud J. Plerpont Morgan jr. and others, constituting the firm of J. P, Morgan & Co, The indictment charged that Lamar, in @ telephone conversa- tion with Lewis Cass Ledyard, pre- tended to be Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsyivania, and that Lauterbach, in ooriversation with Palmer, carried on the effort to effect the objects of the conspiracy. In conjunction with the news article was printed what purported to be a picture of David Lamar. This plo- ture was not a picture of Lamar, but was in fact a picture of Samuel Feld- man, a lawyer well known in the courts of this city, who has no con- nection with Lamar. The mistake was due to the fact that in the art de- partment record room of The World, where several thousand photographs are on file, alphabetically indexed, the picture of Lawyer Feldman filed away in the Lamar fo! the name of Lamar came up in the news the mistake in the record room was repeated in the columns of the newspaper.
