Charge of Obtaining Money
Under False Pretenses.

Charges OF obtaining money under
Stevinak, an Elkhart real estate
dealer. was arrested some time ago
on complaint OF Simon Shafer. a re-
tired farmer. 1911 $. Michigan ST..
for alleged mis-statements made dur
ing a stock transaction a year ago,
came 10 trial in city court Friday
afternoon. on a motion TO find for
the defendant. the case avs taken un-
der Amusement until next Wednes-
day afternoon.
Stevinak is specifically charged
with causing the complainant TO pur-
chase shares Of the Haynes Realty
Co. an Elkhart concern, for a con-
sideration Of s2.725, representing
the stock as belonging 70 the COM
pany, whereas, it is alleged, the
stock belonged to himself and an
other shareholder. 1t was further
alleged that the stock in question
was not worth the price paid for il
at the time Of the transaction.

wac on the bench while ex-City
Judge Walter c. Walker of Elkhart
appeared for the defendant The
case went over following the presen-
tation OF testimony by the state, the
defense seeking q motion to dis
charge on the claim there was no
evidence OF fraud.
The oft-ruled upon question. OF
whether misrepresentation consti-
tutes fraud when the buyer obtains
value received was raised following
the calling to the stand of Worthy
W Haynes. president of the Elkhart
concern. In the neighborhood OF 10
or a dozen decisions were cited by
counsel for both state and defense
i'm an endeavor to prove their re-
spective contentious.
Attorneys for the defendant, who
il is said hint at the prospect of
and suits against
Shafe~ after the disposition of the
case against Stevinak. maintain that
the latter acted i'm good faith when
he represented the common stock as,
in his opinion. worth $115 per share,

or cross examination Haynes tes-
tilted to the book value of the stock
in question being worth sos per
share and that in view'of the future
prospects Of the concern. the price OF
Sis was not an overcharge. The
case against the defendant then
practically simmered down to the
question OF whether Shafer was
made a victim Of fraud in purchasing
stock of the company when he was a
recipient of the stock upon which
the representations were made. The
state. represented by pep. Pros.
George d. Donahue holds to the
opinion that misrepresentation OF
ownership constitutes the offense.
on the stand. Shafer admitted be-
ing a stockholder of the company to
an amount approximating $4,000,
previous TO the sale in question and
that he had attended stockholders
meetings of the concern prior TO the
purchase OF the stock from StevinalI,
Il was also brought out in the tes-
timOny that Shafer, acting as stock
holder. voted with the majority at
the last meeting of stockholders to
pass the dividend TO the common
stock payable January, last.
