The defendant, having received this money did not make the necessary entry in the account bocks A few days before he ab- sconded. by using a false chop, defendant collected money, from four or more customers. On Apri 20, 1934 he absconded. Later, de- fendant was located by a partner of the shop. Yuen Sheun, and was brought back to the shop and questioned.

Defendant admitted

the charges; and said that he had signed a promísary note, to the effect that he had embezzled the money referred to and used the false chop.
