Show DEFEATED THE CHARGE. Th. Controversy Hetween Clark and Warner War-ner at an Kad. At the conclusion of the examination of A. S. Clark on a charge of having embezzled a note, the face value of which was $94, Commissioner Pratt discharged dis-charged the defendant. The evidence disclosed that tho defendant was in the employ of Hush Warner, an insurance agent and that between them wan an open account. That the uote had been discounted at the bank was admitted, but Clark had an interest in it and the moneys wore applied to the satisfaction of tho other paper in which he and Warren were jointly interested. The court supplied tlie theory that monies in which the parties were jointly interested could not be embezzled by either, and the defendant was accordingly accord-ingly discharged. Mr. Clark and his friends are thoroughly satisfied with his vindication. It seems to have been a matter for civil and not for criminal proceodure. |
