Covered by Deposits.909

Nov. 26 Abraham
Stone, 30 years old, faced Judge Gorham
in the district court today on charges
of issuing checks on the Westminster
bank without having funds to cover the
amounts written. He pleaded not
guilty to both and was held in $1000 in
each case for trial Dec 7.
The prosecution is the first that the
local police have brought under a law
passed by the last general assembly, the
penalty for which is a fine of not less
than $500 nor more than $5000, or im-
prisonment of not less than six months
nor more than five years.
