NOTE DECLARED BOGUS.
Result of the BOlds-Gerke Suit Adds
to Former officials roubIe

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Nov. 1.-THE jury
In the Circuit Court returned to-day q YER
dict for the defendant in the venued suit
Of Josephine Bolds. assignee for d. E.
Bolds. former treasurer Of Adams county,
VS.. Maria Kerke. administrators of the
estate Of Louis Gerke. to recover on a note
for 1866.
The defense held that the maker Of the
note had no occasion to borrow money on
the date of the note in such quantity and
that If the note were genuine 1t was drawn
for $66 and had been changed. Gerke's ac-
count book shows that such a note was
given on the date of this note, but 1t also
had an entry showing payment. The at
torneys for the defense commended that the
note in the case had been changed by three
erasures, permitting space to insert the in
creased figures. They further commended
that the ink In which the new sum was
written was different from the original ink.
The jury's finding stamps the note as
bogus. Bolds was tried in the Adams Cir
cult Court some time ago for raising road
tax receipts, but was acquitted.
