tice Smiths court yesterday on a charge
of grand larceny, and We're discharged.
They were arrested at the i~nstigation of
Thomas A. Lynch, who sold them a sa-
loon a short time ago, Lynch claimed
that they gave him a check for $500, in
part payment, and when the check was
presented the bank refused to honor it.
The defendants testified that the check
was given to Lynch with the understand
ing that they had no money in the bank
at the time but they would make a de-
post for it's payment. In the meantime.
before the money was deposited, Henry
Mueller notified them that Lynch was in
debted to him for rent and asked them
not to pay him. The money was then
paid into court, Lynch li%quidated his IN
d~ebtedness to Mueller and the case
against the defendants was dismissed.
