Court Rules Bank Loser On Check SALEM. ADrll 23 (P) Th itate supreme court ruled today that the Firit National Bank of Portland Is the loser of $10,573 as the result of a worthless check drawn three years ago by E. C. Kelleck, a real estate broker. The court's decision reversed , Circuit Judge Martin W. Haw kins of Multnomah county. It was written by Justice Jamea ! T. Brand, with Justice Arthur D. Hay dissenting. The case originated when Mr. and Mrs. John C. Noble of Port land agreed to buy a hotel through Kelleck, and they gave him $10,573 as deposit. The deal fell through, and the Nobles asked for their money back. Kelleck gave them a check for $10,573 signed by himself. Marked Check Tha Nobles deposited the check In the U. S. National bank, where a teller marked the check as being no good. Another teller, however, misread the first tel ler's mark, and sent it over to the First National bank for pay ment. The latter bank paid the money, and upon finding the check was worthless, filed suit against the Nobles and the U. S. National bank. The lower court ruled that the Nobles must reimburse the First National bank. Today's decision holds that the First National bank must suffer the loss.
