In San Francisco, Audrey I. Cutting, Al, of Anchorage, Alaska, was booked Aug. 16 on suspicion of passing three $100 bad checks, according to the district attorneys office.
 The complaint against Mrs. Cut ting was made by Cecil Tanner, credit manager of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel where she was stay ing. The checks were drawn on the Anchorage branch of the Bank of Alaska which returned the checks with a notation the woman's account had been closed.
 Mrs. Cutting has been free on $6,000 bond pending appeal of her conviction for embezzlement on March 2S.
 The attractive Anchorage wo- man realtor was granted a new trial May IT. She has been Out side for medical treatment.
 A Third District Court jury in Anchorage had convicted her in March of misappropriating $1,000 from a real estate client, from funds he had allegedly given her to purchase property for him.
