Leary did not caution him about
having all the money. To Mr.. Ca
hoon he stated he had not told the
bank what bank he had his account
and had not informed the bank peo-
pie of the amount Of the check. He
kept no stubs of his checks.
Mr.. Handy claimed it was neces-
sorry to prove the act was a crime
in this State as well as IN the State
where it was committed. He claim.
elk that an overdraft of a bona fide
account was not crime in this
State. If the charge be one of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses
Mr.. Leary testified he gave the
young man identification; he back.
ed it up by putting his name on the
check; when the bank holds him for
that check, Leary comes here with
criminal prosecution. There was
no falsity in getting the identified
ton.
The court called attention to the
fact that the check had been drawn
in favor of Leasy ana endorsed by
him.
Mr.. Handy said the thing can be
done IN either way, the endorser
can be the iden tifier or the beneti-
ciary.
Leary testified that when he
cautioned Mayne he srid it was be-
cause there would be trouble at
the bank for both of them-.the en-
dorser and the drawer. This case
has been an overdraft and is a debt
this prosecution is trying to collect.
Mr. Schatfer said it was not
case OF collecting a debt.
MIR. Handy stated he would con-
test the matter before the Governor.
Mr.. Cahoon reviewed the evidence.
Undoubtedly the money was secur-
ed and went into Mayne's pocket;
the whole case rested on the pre-
tense.
Mr.. Schaffer said that under the
law OF Pennsylvania, the bank has
not been loser, but the fraud has
been done to Leary.
Mr.. Handy replied to the argu-
ment of Mr.. Cahoon.
Judge Ball sent for a number OF
books and read decisions touching
on the case. He said it was gem
orally understood it was false pre-
tense to obtain S gnature to 4

In this case tho check was given to the
prosecuting witness and the money was
Immediately handed over to Mayne
Tho court accordinly held Mayne for the

the sum of 1890.
Mr.. ohafler stated that he purposed
pushing tho requisitlon proceedings before
the Governor, whether the decision of tho
Court was favorable or unfavorab.e to him

reading the authorities that Wayne would
be discharged But should fate decree it
Otherwise ho would fight tho case before
