Quantrille, found guilty late yes

sideration for some five hours. Both
of the accused were found guilty
on the fourth count of the indict-
ment, which charged "uttering"-
the passing of a check knowing it
to be forged. The defense had
contended that forgery, if any,
took place in nearby Maryland at

where than the District, but that
the check had been passed here by
Milton and Quantrille. He ex-
planned that in order to have an
"uttering" there must have been a
forgery. Mr.. jackson said the men
