Joseph c. Morgan Found Not Guilty
 of Forgery.
 This mornings session of the city court was so long that the weekly bar meeting was delayed considerably There was only one case before the court. that of Joseph G. Morgan, for forgery. The prosecution was con- ducted by Attorneys Lawlor and Dur ant and the defense by Attorney Car mody. The case was substantially as follows, told by Richard Davey and his wife. of Long Hill and H. NJ. Up son, bookkeeper ill the employ of the Waterbury Manufacturing company. and the accused, Morgan: Davey is a varnish and roof paint maker. He is we'll known in the city. Years ago he became acquainted with the ac- cused, who was then a travelling rep resentative for wholesale varnish and oil house. Davey invited Morgan to enter partnership with him. and after long consideration Morgan came 10 town. Morgan did not consider Davey a man of much financial credit and a letter was introduced showing that Dayey wrote Morgan that he had in structed Terry & Bronson. ito go through the new bankrupt law for him. At that time Dayey was in partnership with q Mfr Mintie. Davey denied he ever invited Morgan to en- ter partnership witlI him: in fact. that lie ever had any business transactions with him, or gave him authority to col lect for him. X business card bearing the names, ''Davey x Morgan" Dayey said was q fraud The firm. if such it was, sold some differs to the Water bury Manufacturing company for $39.49. This bill was collected by the accused and receipted for by him. This constituted the alleged forgery. A week later Morgan concluded he could no longer do business with Davey. so he presented a receipt to Mrs Davey for her signature. Mrs Davey said she did not know the nature of the paper, not having her spectacles on, l and that Morgan did not tell her. Mor- gan says he did. However, she signed the paper. Then Morgan took what property belonged to him in Davey's $ l factory. Davey then tried to have Morgan arrested for theft, but failed. | Morgan told his story in a very dra- matic manner and two painters in his l employ corroborated the main features l of his testimony. The court found the accused not guilty.
