The Valparaiso authorities then began proceedings under the' overdraft bank law. In the meantime the check was again presented at the local bank and upon notice to that effect Dr. Thomas redeemed it, the Barter county sheriff striking town the same day. Upon investigation of his arrest warrant by Dr. Thomas’ attorney it was discovered that the warrant did not possess the seal of the oiromt court clerk and the cop returned to Valparaiso empty-handed. Attorney John Oapouch, who represented Dr. Thomas, said that the Valparaiso authorities hove no ease os they cannot prove intent to defraud on the part of the focal physician.
