Kiett in police court this morning, made the following stutement: “There are many peculiar ecircum- stances connected with this chse, One is that the complainant has stated that had he been paid the $100 on demand he would not hage made a complaint for criminal prosecution. There is some question of criminal in- tent in this case and it is the duty of the court to give you the benefit. “I must add, however, Foiren, that you are guilty of sharp practice and trickery in this matter, but there is a question of its criminal nature, It is within the law, but very close to criminal law. You are discharged on embezzlement, but you should pay that $100 back to Krieger.” The complaint upon which Foiren was arrested was made about three months after Baker discovered that TFoiren had sold the property in ques- tion for §6,000 instead of $5,900, which was the price Baker received and paid a real cstate commission on. When the fact was made known to him, Baker advised the Kriegers to demand.the money # c¢ he had sanc- tiened the sale for $5,900. Foiren re- fused to give up the $100, so Baker made a personal demand with the same results, The prosecution fol- lowed. Joiren was represented by Attor- neys W. C. Hungerford and Donald Gaflney.
