A SPURIOUS CHECK
By an Apparent Mistake e. Hesse Falls Short
of Forgery

Edward Hesse has filled the onerous
positions popularity known as that of a
"chambermaid in livery stable" at the
possibly may have had desires superior
to his duties as hostler, but his attempts
to better himself have not been success
full inasmuch as they were pursued along
illegitmate lines.
1t appeared yesterday. when Hesse
was brought to trial in department one
on the charge of passing a fictitious
check that while following his humble
occupation he became acquainted with
the name of DR.. George L. Cole, who
kept his horse and buggy a the stable
where Hesse worked. One day he went
doW!s to the cigar stand of Max Roth,
at the corner of Los Angeles and First
streets, and got Roth, whom he had
known for a long time, to cash check
for him. This check was on the First
National bank, was for S13. so was sign
ed DR.. Geo. G. Cole and was made paya-
bic to and was endorsed by Hesse him
self. The check was an altogether ficti-
tious one. but it looked as if Hesse had
had the intent to commit forgery, but
being unacquainted with the doctors
proper initials fell short of the mark.
Roth advanced 81 on the spurious paper,
but when it was discovered that it was
no good the arrest of Hesse speedily fol-
lowed.
These facts were testified to yester-
day by number of witnesses, and the
case was then given to the jury After a
retirement of one hour the jury returned
into court with verdict of guilty"
and the defendant was ordered to ap-
pear for sentence on Thursday morning.

A FRIVOLOUS APPEAL
For Which the Supreme Court Imposes sIoo
as Damages

The supreme court in affirming the
judgment and order OF the trial court in
the case of Flora Sykes VS.. w. H. Arne,
carried upon appeal from the superior
court of Santa Barbara county is severe
in it's structures and has mulcted the
plaintiff in 500 damages.
1--WE regard this action" says the
court, las without any foundation in
merit in its inception, and as manitestly
vexatious and oppressive. and the ap-
peal, which is here prosecuted, as friV-
olous."
The action was to foreclose a chattel
mortgage, given to secure eight promis-
sorry notes, amounting in the aggregate to
over $675, made by the defendant to
plaintiff and falling due at different
dates; and was prosecuted upon the
theory that by defendants default in the
payment of the note first due plaintiff
was entitled to treat defendant as in
default on all and recover the entire
debt. under a clause of the mortgage.
which provided: That If the mortgager
fail to make any payment as in the said
promissory notes provided then the
mortgage may take possession of said
property, using all necessary force so to
do, and may Immediately proceed to sell
in the manner provided by law and from
the proceeds pay the whole amount in
said notes specified
The first note, which was for 500. fell
due January /, 1898, but allowed ten days
grace. AT the maturity of this note
plaintiff placed it in the hands of an
agent for collection, Who on the 10Th of
January presented it FOR payment at
defendants office in Santa Barbara. De-
fendant at this time paid $50 on the
note, and asked for time 10 collect in
some outstanding accounts, before pay
ing the balance. This request was
granted. The agent called again ON
January 18th when defendant paid the
interest accrued on the note to that date.
but asked further time to pay the bal
ance OF $40, due on the principal MIR.
Harsh. the agent. having to return to
Los Angeles the following day, told de-
fendant he would leave the note in the
hands of Mir. NicNulta, local attorney,
and desired defendant to pay the bal
ance by the following Monday. De
fendant did not pay the balance on that
date, and on January Dist was notified
by Mr.. McNulta that ne must pav tbe
balance on the next day, January 22d
On the latter date defendant went to
the office of Mr.. McNulta and handed
him the balance due on the note. which
the latter received, and was about to
receipt for, but on the objection of Mr.
Elliott. who claimed to represent plain
tiff, Mr.. McNulta refused to receive the
money, and. although earnestly solicited
The herald., 1897-02-16
by defendant to accept the payment, re-

by defendant to accept the payment, re-
turned the money to defendant.
On January 25th plaintiff notified de-
fendant of plaintiffs election to declare
all of the notes due, and demanded pay
-ment. This was refused by defendant,
and on January S1st the action at law
was commenced.
Defendant set up the a bove facts in his
answer, and therein again rendered. and
deposited in court, the balance due on
the note, for principal and interest,
amounting to S21 The court found sub
stantially in accord with the averment
of the answer and gave judgment for
plaintiff for $21. without costs.
In appealing the case plaintiff claimed
that the evidence did not sustain the find
ings; that the evidence showed that the
agent had no authority to extend time
to defendant in which to pay the note; /;
that McNulta's authority to receive pay
ment for plaintiff had been revoked be-
fore the tender was made to him on jan
uary 22d that defendant was therefore
in default and plaintiff had right to
dclare the entire debt due and proceed
to foreclose.
'None of these contentious" says the
supreme court, find support in the rec
ord. The evidence shows that the ac-
tion of the agent was fully within his au-
thority, and that the tender to Mr. Nc
Nulta was at time when he was still
authorized to act for plaintiff. The
clause in the mortgage gave plaintiff
the election. upon defendants default. to
proceed at once for the whole debt, but
plaintiff didn't see fit to do so. The first
default was waived by the failure OF
plaintiff to take advantage of the right
to so proceed. and before plaintiff elect
ed to proceed defendant had made a
tender of all that was actually due, and
plaintiffs right to sue for the unmatured
notes was lost
1.-The whole case would seem to indi-
cate disposition on the part of the
plaintiff to vex and annoy defendant,
as the evidence clearly shows that de-
fcndant was ready and anxiously desir-
Gus of meeting his obligation before
the bringing of the action. We think
that such litigation should be discour-
aged.
The judgment and order are affirmed
with 500 damages to defendant"
The herald., 1897-02-16

should be paid in cash upon delivery,
$500 on November 18th and the remain
der was to be secured by certain liens
upon real estate The first payment
was made all right, and security was
given for $500. but the 5000 remaining
was neither paid nor secured.
The defendant had taken his odiferous
consignment to San Bernardino county,
and it was while they were browsing on
tin cans and other fodder that goats de-
light to feed upon that the bandwere at
tached by the sheriff.
After testimony had been taken yes
terday, and counsel on either side had
talked learnedly upon the case. it de-
veloped that there was, after all, little
to dispute about. The Indebtedness of
$500 was acknowledged, and by a mutual
understanding as to costs the case
drifted as oddly out of court as it had
drifted in.

THE MURILLO PENSION CASE
The Defendant Has Difficulty in Finding Wit
nesses to Corroborate His story

The case of Salvado Murillo, on trial
in the United States district court
charged with a pension fraud, was re-
sumed yesterday afternoon.
Counsel for the defense on Saturday
last made affidavit that new and impor-
tant evidence had just come to light,
and asked for time TO subpoena witnesses
from Santa Barbara which was granted.
1t was expected to prove by these wit
resses that Murillo was once a mem Der
of company c at Santa Barbara Nine
witnesses were placed upon the stand,
but none of them would acknowledge
that they had ever known Murillo.
The defendant himself then went upon
the stand and testified that he had en-
listed in company { at Santa Barbara,
and had followed it to San Pedro, where
he was taken sick and remained in the
hospital for eight months, after which
he received regular discharge.
Further light will be thrown upon
these dubious facts this morning.
