FOUND NOT GUILTY ON FRAUD CHARGES Etta Ray and Barry Gordon were found not guilty by Precinct Justice Brig-ham Brig-ham Clegg yesterday at the conclusion of the introduction of the state's evidence. ; They were charged w:ith obtaining money by false pretenses. N. H. Tracy testified to having given the defendants a check for ?25 on the representation that the girl had been arrested and needed the money for bail. He admitted, however, that he had stopped payment of the check. He also admitted having promised the girl that he would give her the money if she ever needed it. The court held that the charge was not substantiated, since no money was obtained by the defendants.
