the penitentiary on the charge of forg-

ment on the back of a cheque or draft
for $1,000 payable to the clients order
and Hft accounting to his client
therefor.
Soon thereafter the said client was
also sent to the penitentiary for for
gerry, which discredited his evidence
against Hope, who at all times had
pleaded innocence, thus enabling
Hopes friends to secure a pardon
for him.
On Hopes release from the pen
