NEW YORK, July 27 (U. P.).—He looked as if he had just stepped out of a tintype of the gaslight era, an anachronism in a 20th century courtroom,

His shoes were of the type known as congress gaiters, the rage in the 00s. He wore a dark blue serge Jacket, trousers with a thin, oldfashioned cut to the legs, a white shirt turned inside out, and a flowing blue and white tie.

His gray hair was long, cut Toscanini style. His Mark Twain mustache looked a little ragged. His appearance in Felony court yesterday was a major concession for Langley Collyer, aged Harlem recluse.
