State VS. Dennis G. Day. Indictment for per-
jury. This was the most important case of this
term, and occupied nearly two days in its trial.
The facts, briefly stated. as follows In
December, 1872, the defendant negotiated
loan of Mrs. Charlotte Heriff, than widow
lady. but since married to MIR. Amos T. King,
for the sum of $4OO for the benefit of Seymour
Strong. with Mr.. F. King surety and which
as it is charged, Day agreed to and did sign.
This note for long time remained in
Days possession but was afterwards delivered
to the payee. who. without noticing the manner
of its execution, continued to hold it until after
Strong and King became insolvent. when she
took it to attorneys to have it collected, when it
was discovered that the name ot Day; was not
on the paper, and Messrs. Rockwell & Hatfield,
the attorneys, thinking that his name had been
cut therefrom. commenced suit against the
makers, Day included, to recover the amount
due thereon. A judgment was rendered in the
Common PIeas for the amount, and the case
went to the District Court and the same was
therein affirmed. On the first trial of the case
Day testified that he did not agree to, and did
not sign the note, and thereupon he was indict-
ed ut the May term. 1879. for perjury. The
proof showed that the note was lllcd upon the
back as the note offs. Strong. NJ. +. King ami
ID. e. Day, and which the prosecution alleged
was in the hand writing OF defendant
and to prove the charge introduced
a number of witnesses. and it was also claim
ed that the paper bore several other marks
show that it had been tampered with. The
case.w given to the jury under the charge of
the Court late Friday afternoon, and in a short
time thereafter a verdict of mot guilty. was
returned.
