Marion l.. TruaX was arraigned on
three indictments. The first was for
raising DR.. Aiken's check from $40
to $120 and the defendant pleaded not
guilty. The second indictment read
was for issuing and passing check
signed Harry l.. Goodwin for S43.5O
on II. Awamura at Paia. After the
reading of the indictment TruaX, who
appeared little abashed by the posi-
tion in which he finds himself, asked
the court for the definition of forgery.
Judge Burr read the definition from
the statutes and TruaX, after mo-
ments hesitation pleaded guilty.
When County Attorney Bevins start
ed to read the third indictment charg-
ing Truax with issuing and passing
on on Tai Hing a check purporting to
have been signed by Harry l., Good
win TruaX waived its reading and
pleaded guilty. He will be sentenced
Saturday morning and it is improb-
able that he will be brought to trial
on the check raising charge.

ready to proceed when the case was
reached in regular order.
