THAT DANGEROUS DRAFT.
A Young Man Narrowly Escapes Trouble
by Drawing 1t.

A Young Man Narrowly Escapes Trouble
by Drawing 1t.
A. Cohn, young travelling man, ap-
peared in Justice Deyine's Court yesterday
afternoon charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses. The case was tried
by the Justice named and jury. District
Attorney Bruner and Assistant District
Attorney Brown appeared for the people,
and the defendant was represented by C. T.
Jones.
The testimony in the case showed that
the defendent had recently requested W.
NJ. Smith to identify him at D. 0. Mills &
Co.'S bank, as he wished to get cashed
draft for $50 upon a Chicago firm, by whom
he was employed. Smith was acquainted
with the young man, and complied with
his request. Arrived at the bank, he identi-
fed Cohn, but the cashier informed him
that he would not cash the draft unless he
(Smith) would indorse it. This the latter
did, and when the draft was returned from
Chicago dishonored Cohn was Dabbed by
the officers of the law upon the charge be-
fore mentioned.
offered by the prosecution, the defendants
attorney moved that the jury be instructed
to acquit on grounds of insufficient proof
to warrant conviction. The Court granted
the motion, and the jury returned a verdict
accordingly.
The case hinged upon the allegation in
the complaint that Smith had been de-
frauded in his Endorsement of COINS draft.
whereas it was shown by Smith himself
that the defendant had not even requested
such Endorsement.

TEDIOUS WORK,
The journal OF the Last Senate Not Yet
Written

Inc ournal OF tue IasJ Senate NOT ct
Written
The journal of the late Senate is the
largest record known in the annals of
California Legislatures, and was made so
by the Senate ordering the charters of the
cities of Los Angeles, Oakland, Stockton
and San Diego TO be spread in full On the
journal. Jesse A. Galland, Journal Clerk,
of the Senate, is still at work on the bulky
record. Being unable to do the work
alone he was compelled to appoint two
assistants other than the three regular As
sistant Journal Clerks, who, when their
pay ceased, departed for their homes In a
few days the comparison of the journal
will be completed, and after being approved
by Lieutenant-G Governor White the record
will become pari of the archives of the
State.
A comparison of the journal so far has
resulted in the discovery of large number
of errors, which, if they had stood uncor-
rected, would have invaiidated several bills
now on the statues.
Galland says the delay in turning over
the journal TO the Secretary of State has
been due to the errors in 1t. AS he is re-
sponsible for the correctness of the record,
ne will not let the journal leave his. hands
until perfectly satisiiedtth hat it is in proper
form and correct in every respect.
