tute the crime OF forgery, it is forgery
for which he was not indicted.
THAT he was indicted for forging the
entire check, when in fact the proof shows
that he merely forged the body of The
check only. not the signature, therefore
there Is a variance between the proof and
the Indictment as laid"
Judge Daily said he had taken an un-
usual interest in the case, for there were no
decisions in New Jersey on parallel cases.
Cases of The nature of Hyer'5 had been
decided in Massachusetts and New York,

portion of IA paper was forged, it was not
a forgery of it all and that the indict-
ment should Significantly set forth the

signature but the body of the cneck.
Judge DAILY quoted numerous authorities
to sustain him.

that Harney had signed a cheek in blank.

the amount only for the purpose of pay
ing claims against Harvey. He cited sew
eral States whore this decision had been
