THE CASE DISMISSED,
Mr.. Henry j. kintz Relieved O
Charges of False Pretensea.

Mr.. Henry j. kfntz Relieved of
Charges of False Pretensea.
The charges of false pretenses recently
preferred against Henry ]. Kintz by
Alonzo H. Colner have been dismissed
after hearing before Judge Kimball in
the Police Court 1t appeared from the
testimony that Mr.. Kintz, who is an elder
ly gentleman entered into contract with
Colner and an associate. whereby, for
consideration of $780, the latter were to
have the right to cut the timber from prop
erty owned by Mr.. Kintz in Westmoreland
county, Va. Mr.. Colner testified that S275
was paid over to Mr.. kintz, the remainder
estate notes. Colner further testified that
when he went to the property to inspect
the timber he found there was hardly any
mt Tor commercial purposes, and that the
amount that could be taken from the tract
had been misrepresented. Mr.. kintz testi-
fed that he had not been near the place
for the past thirteen years, but he had
been Informed by persons lately from the
locality that the timber available was of
the same quantity and quality as he as
sured Mr.. Colner Other persons it ap-
peared, from the vicinity of the Kintz
tract in Westmoreland county had been
consulted by the purchasers of the timber
before the contract was entered into,
Judge Kimball ruled that Mr. Kintz, the
defendant. had evidently acted in good
1alth, but should have been more careful
In informing himself of the condition of
his estate. The case was promptly dis
missed Judge kimball said If the prose-
would be through the civil courts There
was no loan transaction between the par
Ties nor was Mr.. Kintz ever held for the
sraho jury, as has been stated.

in the Police Court today. There We're fif-
teen charges preferred against Anderson
and ten charges confronted Kohlmer. The
defendants Were represented by Attorney
Campbell Darlington, who said he desired
to plead guilty for his clients
The men, he explained. had been in the
employ of Mr. Veerhof. and that gentle
man was anxious that the court should
Impose penalty in one case and take the
personal bonds Of the defendants in the
other cases. Mr.. FeerhOff, he said, was
anxious that this course should be taken
Judge kimbaH said the request was one
that the court coU'd only grant with re-
luctance- In case of this kind, he said
the whole community and not one man only
has an interest. Other merchants are liza
BILE TO be treated in the same way. and
they are entitled to protection.
This is their first offense" said Mr.
Darlington. These defendants are not old
offenders. and perhaps by adopting the

prison for a long term"
According to reports, Judge kimbalI said,
II was not their first offense but it was
