of the suit, and that the man wanted cash
in change. He told Cadwallader to come
around a few days later, and in the mean
time, he took it to the bank. There 1t was
found to be worthless.

and checks on all the banks in the city
and one three months note was drawn on
the Trenton Banking Company.
When arraigned before the Police JUS
tice this afternoon, Cadwallader would
not admit his crime. Brown was sen5
for and said he did not sign the note.

O'Clock last evening at Cadwallader's re-
quest, and in the meantime Mr.. Cauliett
was induced to withdraw the complaint.
