that time he was intending to defraud

fusion into the case Mr.. Craig has
brought in the show business The
only evidence that they havJ tried
to get out is that of Mrs. Yock, in
testifying as to the show business, but
the witness had never talked to Kate

ness. If this receipt was gotten to
go into show business, why doesn't
it say so. The minute they found
out this Nellie Clark was not going
to shield him, and was going to tell
the truth, Mr.. Craig went to see Mrs.
Koch and talked of the show business.
1t is ridiculous to advance the argu-
ment that Kate Dyke had confidence
in him, why confidence is necessary
to make it possible be secure this

which he had obtained her confidence.

1t actually fails to show what is nee
essary under the statute. Everything
must show that party, parting with
money must have been deceived, and
ant could be convicted, even if those
things he said induced parties to give
money, and you cannot rely ON her

that SIS was given because he was in
hard luck. Suppose she had conf

was not relying on the restaurant
business. The many acts following

on his statements or not. The events
that follow show that she knew they
We're not going into the restaurant

1t does not make any difference
whether they are unsophisticated
girls and he an INSCRIPTIONS man, the
manner of obtaining the money must
be false, They went to take physical

Dyke knew that she owed the pro.
lessor for the balance. The state must
prove their case; there is nothing to
show that he did not intend to 60 in

there can be only one conclusion
that the girls did not rely upon his
