John Grant Lyman, on seeing th n-w that the chief witness asainst h!m on tl.e fraud charge in Ix An-pel-s is dead, this morning brsran a aiWullr-planned local battl dexlxned to frfi him from the charge of con fplracy to effect hi escape from the Federal custody. From courtroom to courtroom in the postofrice builiilnc; he limped today, resting his weight on his crutches, which he still handles unskillfully, ap pearing before two .magistrates. Throughout the ordeal his face bore a more cheerful expression. In marked contract to the air of gloomy stoicism which seemed stamped upon It at his appearance three days ago. Lyman first was taken Into the I'nited (States Dis trict Court to plead to the conspiracy charge, guarded by I'nited States Mar shal Elliott and a phalanx of deputies. Ills attorney. Carroll Cook, asked the court's permission to (lie a demurrer to the Indictment and submit authori ties. This was granted and one day was given Attorney took to presen his authorities and one day U th I'nited States District Attorney's offlc to reply. Attorney Cook Intimated that ha would make the contention that there was no authority In law to place Dr. Lyman In the Providence Hospital In Oakland, from which the escape re suiting In the alleged conspiracy took place, and that on this ground alone the indictment must fail. At the con elusion of the brief hearing In the Dls trlct Court. Lyman was taken before United States Commissioner Krull for a hearing on the removal proceedings to Los Angeles, where Lyman Is wsnte on a charge of using the United States malls to defraud customers In a Fan a ma land deal. Lyman and his counsel to.day learned of the death of L. R. Smith, secretary of the Panama Development Company, who actually signed the letters whic T.yman Is accused of sending through the malls to Induce customers to pay him for land to which he had no valid title. Smith died at sea on the way from rinimi on the day Lyman effected hi second sensational escape from ' Fed eral custody. It Is believed that th loss of Smith as a witness may pre vent the conviction of the promoter of the Los Anreles charge. However, tn TVtral authorities do not despair of landing Lyman behind the bars and rhirrn mar be brought against him in Kevada or some other scene of hi financial activities If the prosecution in California fails.
