or representation of anything to take place in
future is a pretense in the meaning of the
statutes of Kentucky, whether it be in the form
of a promise or not, and that one who induces
another to sigrf a note upon the representation
that it is to be used as a renewal of an existing
note upon which the person signing is bound
does not violate the statute, although he intends
to and does use the note for another purpose.
FORGERY—NOTE—ALTERATION.
In the recent case of The Commonwealth vs.
Hide, the Kentucky Court of Appeals held that
the making an alteration or erasure in any
material part of a true instrument whereby
another may be defrauded is a forgery. The
court said that it was not necessary that the
whole instrument should be made false or
fictitious, and that where a check for "seventy
cents, " the amount of which was also written
in figures, thus "0.70," near the top of the
check, was altered by inserting the figure " 3 "
between the dollar mark and the figures ' ' 70,''
leaving the words "seventy cents " in the body
of the check unchanged, the alteration consti-
tuted a forgery, although the person to whom
the check was presented for payment could by
close observation have detected the forgery and
prevented the consummation of the fraud.
Upon the trial of the payee of the check for the
forgery the fact that he alone had possession of
the check, so far as the proof showed, from the
time of its execution until its presentation for
payment, coupled with the fact that he alone
got the benefit of the change made, the court
held, was sufficient to authorize the conclusion
that he was guilty of the forgery, and that
therefore the case should have been submitted
to the jury.
TH£N AND NOW,
WORLD'S FAIR GROUNDS,
February 21, 1893.
The Musical Courier, New York :
After a thorough investigation and analysis
on the ground itself I can assert positively that
the Eastern piano manufacturers made a mistake
in withdrawing from the World's Fair.
No exhibits will be permitted in State Build-
ings.
The space has not yet been distributed, and
in anticipation of the reconsideration of some of
the piano manufacturers of the step taken by
them, I shall do my best to induce the author-
ities to keep matters in statu quo.
The Chicago Columbian Exposition will be
epoch making and our Eastern friends should
not be misled in their action regarding it.
