IDEKffS ATTOHHEYS
Is Towards Gaining Dismissal
ofOne of FourCases Against
Him at Tulare.
STATEMENTS OF
ING WITNESS NOT BACKED
Court Holds That Testimony in
Preliminary Heading Not
Sufficient,
According to report from Tulare,
Calif., relative to the progress of the
irial of W. A. Iden, who was arrett
ed here sometime ago charged with
-ecu ring money under false pretens
es, !..- won .1 tremendous victory on
Uctober 21, when Judge Allen ruled
i hat juMifficient evidence has been
given in the preliminary hearing in
what is known as the .Manuel case to
justify his being held to answer the
upenor
otti'L on a criminal charge
ot
eciinug money iiuuer talse preten-
scs
The motion which was presented
the day before to dismiss the informa
tion was granted and Iden was re
turned to jail with only one informa
tion standing against him in the su
perior court though two other charg
es are pending.
The contention of the defense was
that no corroborating testimony had
been given in the lower court to back
up the statement of E. M. Manuel
that he had given a check to Iden
for which was put to use other
than that for which it was intended.
In ruling on the matter Judge Allen
said he supposed that the magistrate
must have considered that the check
and the receipt which were submitted
were sufficient proof to substantiate
the charges, but that he did not con
sider them so.
After the argument by the attor
neys, Judge Allen rendered his decis
ion in the matter discharging the de
fendant for the reason that there was
no corroborating testimony and that
no crime or public offense has been
committed in the case, and he there
fore ordered that the miormation he
set aside and the defendant be dis
charged from any further prosecu
tion in the case.
