Description
This is an appeal from the conviction before Lewis Davis, Special Judge of the Marion Criminal Court, Division 2, without a jury, convicting the appellant of the crime of uttering a forged instrument. The appellant was sentenced to the Indiana State Prison for not less than two nor more than fourteen years to which was added a fine in the sum of ten dollars and the costs of the action. It is the appellant's contention that the court below erred in overruling his motion for a new trial. The evidence at the trial indicated that Lester Haas, owner of the Heidelberg Tavern in the city of Indianapolis, testified that on January 24, 1964, appellant and two other men entered his establishment. There was a request to cash a check in the possession of the appellant. After the check was examined, the appellant was held at gun point until the police arrived. The two companions of the appellant fled. The witness testified that the reason a gun was pulled on the appellant was that the check was one of a series on which the bank had stopped payment and that the proprietor had been warned by the police that a group of men were cashing bad checks around the city. The witness also testified that when appellant was asked where he obtained this check two different accounts were rendered.
