DISMISS
CHARGE OF
FORGERY
Justice Vance Finds No
Evidence to Hold
Merritt

Judge ]. d. Vance dismissed the case
against II. r. Merritt charged with
the forgery Of a receipt, this morning
at the f,oee * the preliminary hear
ing. Merritt was charged with forg-
ing a receipt whereby a mortgage
on his place was cancelled. The con-
tention Of the complaining witness,
]. NJ. Yoder, was that receipt for
$94 was changed to read receipt for
the payment Of note for sl5S4.09
and note for SITS. Yoder claims
that the receipt he gave Merritt for
the s94 note was written in pencil
and the receipt exhibited in the case
was that 7itten in pen and ink and
signed in .encil by ]. M. Yoder for
the two notes of larger amounts. The
important feature in the case was
whether or not the receipt claimed
to have been signed by Yoder could
have been erased in the pencil form
and rewritten in ink.
The testimony in the case was very
conflicting.
Mr.. Yoder has filed suit in the dis
trict court asking for the re-instate-
ment of the mortgage he holds
against the Merritt farm. On the
strength of the receipt held by Mr.
Merritt he released his farm frcn q
mortgage Of s15S409. The receipt
has been filed in the register Of deeds
office. Mr.. Yoder has replevined sev
