A. Oliver of Yonkers, the father of the

ACCUSED
Mr.. BOND
NOT GUILTY OF THE CHARGE OF
OBTAINING MONEY UNDER
FALSE PRETENSE.
Had Ample Money in Bank to Cover Pay
ment 70 Check as Statement of the
Cashier Shows.

a warrant reached here a fed days
ago from Bucl5hannon for the arrest of
Clarence L. Bond, of this city, on the
charge of obtaining money under false
pretense preferred by L. w. linn, pro-
prietor of a hotel at Buckhannon. 1t
accused him of having given Mr.. linn
a check on a bank in this city for $3.50
without having any money in the bank.
The check was issued July 4 by Mr.. Bond,
and having heard from it and knowing he
had money in the bank at the time he
gave it, it was a great surprise to him
to know that u prosecution had been be-
gun against him. But he went to Buck
harmon Saturday, accompanied by Sher-
if Fleming and the matter was settled
there. He paid the check and at the
hearing he also showed the court that
he had ample money in the bank at
the time to do so. The court readily
saw that an injustice had been done Mr..
bond and the case was dismissed. In con-
nection with his testimony Mr.. Bond ex-
hibited the following letter, which ex-
plains why the check was not honored,
and Mr. Bond says he signed the check
so hurriedIy that no doubt it did not al
together resemble his ordinary sigma
ture:
cIarksburg, w. Va, Augusut l.
Mr.. C. L. Bond, City.
Dear Sir: In reply to your inquiry
regarding the amount of your balance
in this bank on the 4th day of July, our
books show same to have been 1888.
we did not cash check of $3.50 present
ed at this bank, made payable to Mr..
linn. because signature on check was not
similar to your signature in this bank.
Signed by cashier.
The incident put Mr.. Bond to consid-
cradle trouble and much annoyance, but
the public will readily see that Mr.. Bond
was falsely accused. He thinks great
injustice has ben done him and there IS
no doubt that he was not guilty of any
wrong doing. 1t is his intention to bring
suit for damages and false arrest
against the hotel keeper, who subjected
him to this annoyance.
