ance for this defendant, il all OF the
checks had been paid there would have
been oyerdrafts. He spoke OF the
drafts given, and said that Boggs de-
posted $1,000 to make good the account
Of Senator Kenney.

ton any better from a moral stand
point that he drew checks upon this
bank when he knew he had no money
to meet them, when this young man
had admitted to him that he was a de-
faulter.
