The Harold M. Goldy automobile case lingers with vague leads as officials seek solid evidence. Goldy was arraigned in the city, fined 15 dollars for selling a new automobile, and no other charges remain. A car bought in New York from a vague dealer with duplicate engine numbers spurs a thorough investigation. Attorney Henry Greenstein says no clear path emerges, while Goldy claims his dealings were legitimate. Women in Argentina reportedly ahead of New York in fashions complicate the tale.
