Tota's Grund Totuis

The circumstances surrounding the cashing of other San Carlos cheques by the Bank of the Philippine Islands, according to the Bulletin informant, had been as follows:

Mr. Newland Baldwin, who has authority to sign cheques for the company and whose name, it is declared, was forged to the Pesos 200,000 cheque in question, had not been in the habit of drawing sims anywhere near, as large as Pesos 200,000. When it was neces- sary to draw cheques for payroll purposes, (in sums much smaller than Pesos 200,000) he always went to the bank personally, and him- self counted the money at the bank. It was then his practice to sign at the bank, and to see per- sonally that the money safely reached the office of the San Carlos Company.

In the Pesos 200,000 case, it is admitted that nothing like this was done, but that the money was 1 given to. Dolores, who presented the choque, together with another for one peso, both bearing what purported to be the signature of Mr. Baldwin.
