Procuring payment within state under a contract, if done without deceit, does not bar the person doing it from attaching money paid, belonging to nonresident (Condon WrappingMachCo 181 AD 311. 168 NYS 718). Service of summons out of the state required (Martin 3 NYS 82). Departing from or concealing within state sumcient-Allege defendant a resident of state and keeps himself concealed therein with intent to defraud creditors to avoid service of summons (Williams 88 Hun 372, 34 NYS 826).
