NEW TRIAL GRANTED.
Alonzo Whitman Will Try to Prove
. His Innocence,

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1s-The su-
preme court has ordered new trial for
Alonzo J. Whiteman, who was SEN
fenced to nine years imprisonment for
forgery. He cashed a check for $500 at
the Bank of California. The check was
drawn by Arthur Dixon, but the bank
knew of no such man. Whiteman was
arrested in New York and brought here
for trial. He contended that the check
was not forged, but was given to him
by his friend Dixon. The latter could
not be found and Whiteman was found
guilty. The supreme court holds that
the lower court erred in allowing other
checks to be introduced as evidence,
which were alleged to be forged. but
which were not proved. to be SO. White
man now claims to have affidavits from
Dixon that the check was all right as
far as he was concerned.
