SPEEDY VERDICT
IS RETURNED ON
FORGERY COUNTS

What is believed to be a new re-
cord for II quick conviction in the
Imperial county superior court, was
established yesterday afternoon
when a jury Of eight men and four
women returned verdict declaring
Antonio Gonzales guilty of forgery
on two counts. The jurors were out
only two and one-half minutes.
Gonzales was charged with pass
ing forged checks at Woolworth S
and at the johnson Greene Com.
pany. He offered the checks, which
were signed with the name Of a
japanese, in exchange for merchan.
disc Investigation showed that no
party bearing the name signed to
the checks ever existed in this Sec
tion.
Although spectators in the court
who heard the testimony were Of
the opinion that Gonzales is guilty,
few expected such quick verdict.
The case was prosecuted by Deputy
District Attorney Kendall B. Per
kins, assisted by Lee Nuffer. Per
kins had hardly sufficient time to
get to his office from the court
room when he was called back to
hear the verdict.
Gonzales will be sentenced tomor-
row afternoon at O'Clock. Con-
vietion Of forgery carries penalty
of from one to II years on each
count.
