Suing Assemblyman Vacheron

New York, 1895

George L. Haywood Says He Loaned Him Money.

George L. Haywood of Brooklyn Hills has brought an action against Eugene F. Vacheron to recover $85, part of the claim being for money loaned. The case came up for trial before Judge Bartlett on Monday. Counselor Mathot, Assemblyman Vacheron's law partner, moved the case off on the ground that his client was a member of the Assembly.

Judge Bartlett said that that fact gave Mr. Vacheron no immunity. Mr. Vacheron at the time was sitting in the Sheriff's office in the Court House. The case was marked ready for trial. In his sworn answer Mr. Vacheron denies that he borrowed any money from Mr. Haywood.

On the other hand, Mr. Haywood says he has the check by which the money was loaned, with Mr. Vacheron's indorsement. It passed through the Woodhaven Bank. Part of the claim is for putting wire doors and netting on Mr. Vacheron's house and the office he occupied when a justice of the peace.
