Pawned Cigarette Case for $7

The charge preferred by Messrs Ulmann's was next taken complainant's assistant saying that he allowed "accused to have the silver cigarette case on credit upon his saying he was employed in the office of the "Far Eastern Review." Other evidence was given that accused pawned the cigarette case for $7, at another pawnshop in Woosung Road.

In the case of the camer ed from the Young Photo Ca, an assistant stated that he allowed accused to have the camera on credit bees signed in the usual way: foreigners did, and it was not a rule for foreigners to behave so badly as accused had done. Also, accused drove up in a motor-car, and witness thought he was trustworthy and would not cheat for such a small amount.

In this ease, a pawnbroker gave evidence that the camera was pawned for $18.

The hearing was adjourned until Monday morning.
