FREES BRYDON
ON RESTITUTION
Collins Sees No Crime, but
Orders Money Repaid
to Woman.

Because Judge James A. Collins could
see that mo crime had been committed"
and because the face value Of a draft
for $17S.93 had been made good to Mrs.
Amelia Miller, the court today found Ray
N. Brydon not guilty of grand larceny
and ordered his discharge.
This case has been on the docked for
nearly year, as well as two other cases
in which Brydon was charged with false
pretense and failure to pay wages.
Brydon was in court and made good
the face value of the draft, which Mrs.
Miller had given to him.
In discussing the grand larceny charge
Judge Collins said:
Il can't see for the life Of me that there
was any crime committed. The second
indictment for false pretense is a matter
growing out of a mutual understanding
and there is nothing to warrant a find
ing of guilty"
The court stated to Mrs. Miller that he
felt she was entitled to recover her money
and that Brydon was ordered back into
court for that purpose.
II knew that he was civil proof" said
Judge Collins, "but I felt that you were
entitled to recover the money"
