KOLB GOES
FREE AFTER
A HEARING.
No Evidence That He Intended to
Defraud Anyone By Pass
Ing Checks Here.
HAD MONEY IN BANK.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. g.
Henry Kolb, who was sent up from
Perth Amboy on charge of passing
worthless checks, was discharged By
Judge Booraem this morning. Lawyer
Freeman Woodbridge was appointed
TO defend him.
Thomas e. Farroat was first sworn.
He testified that he had cashed
checks for Kolb before, but not per-
sonal checks. He had given the
check to Seheuer & Sons and they
had deposited it. Two days later the
check came back to Farroat as 10
good and he had to pay its face value.
Joseph Galaida said the check he
cashed was drawn on the Franklin
National Bank, of New York, while
the check given to Farroat was on the
First National of Perth Amboy, Ga
laida admitted that he had not de-
posted the check and did not know
whether the Franklin bank would
honor it or not. He said that Kolb
had returned to him the day after
presenting the check and asked him
TO hold 1t for a day or two promising
to pay it off IS at time.
Lawyer Woodbridge wanted the
case dismissed on the ground that
kolb had made no Misrepresentation
but the court denied the motion.
When Kolb was put or the stand
he said he still had money in the
Franklin bank in New York and that
Galaidas check would have been hon
ored. AS there was no evidence to
the contrary the Galaida count was
thrown out.
Regarding the Farroat check KolD
admitted that he had no money in
the Perth Amboy bank when he gave
the check but he had tried To deposit
some in order to meet the check. but
the bank was closed. He says he
had about $50 which he had brought
from Flushing. l.. l. That night, he
declared, he mad taken a few drinks
and fell asleep in the Tottcnville std
tion. When he awoke, lie said, the
$50 was missing, which accounted for
nothing being deposited.
Judge Booraem said that a man
was held innocent until he had been
proven guilty and as there was no
conclusive evidence against Kolb, he
would dismiss the case.
