JUDGE FREES FOIREN
 WITH SHARP CRITICISM
Klett Says He Does Not Alp. prove of Realty Mans
 Methods

In finding Henry ]. Foiren not guilty Of embczzlemcnt Of sI0O from Loren C. Baker in a real estate deal through which Foiren sold Bakers house on Carleton street. to Louis and Marjorie Krieger. last April, Judge George W. Klett in police court this morning. made the following statement.
 There are many peculiar circum- stances connected with this case. One is that the complainant has stated that had he been paid the siOO on demand he would not hase made a complaint for criminal prosecution. There Is some question of criminal in- tent in this case and 1t is the duty of the court to give you the benefit.
 T must add, however, Eoiren, that you are guilty of sharp practice and trickery in this matter. but there is question of its criminal nature. It is within the law, but very close to criminal law. You are discharged on embezzlement. but you should pay that $100 back to Krieger."
 The complaint upon which Foiren was arrested was made about three months after Baker discovered that Foiren had sold the property in ques- tion for s6,000 instead of s5,900, which was the price Baker received and paid real estate commission on. When the fact was made known to him, Baker advised the kriegers to demand the mone, g-ce he had sane tioned the sale for s5.900. Foiren re- fused to give up the s1UO, so Baker made q personal demand with the same results. The prosecution fol- lowed.
