In 1905 he was convicted in the city court of obtaining $25 from Luigi Added under misrepresentation. In the lower court Borino was fined $50 but on an appeal to the Common Pleas court this fine was reduced to $50.
 After receiving a communication trars took Borino's name from the voting list When he took the mat ter before the General Assembly, States Attorney John H. Light ruled that the matter could not be consid- cred by the committee on forfeited rights as the crime was not one that would cause a man to lose his rights. Rorino now asks the court to oraer the registrars to restore his name to the voting list.
