After an extended hearing and some legal battles, ("oben was sent up to the circuit courland his bond fixed at $500, in default of which he was remanded to jail to await trial at the approaching tenn of tho court. The style of tho ease was Paul Finch, agent vs N 1? Cohen charged with broach of trust with fraudu lent intent. Finch alleged he was district manager of tho Chicago Crayon Company and that Cohen bad been employed by tho compa ny. Ile alleged further that Co hen was in last December assigned the territory comprising Cheraw, Clio, Marion and Bonnottsville to work and deliver tho company's goods. That some timo iii Decem ber Cohen wrote :i letter to tho company slating that he hud lost some money which ho was unable to pay but thal he was trying to make arrangements to have it paid. Two more letters were introduced and placed in evidence from Co hen. The last was written to Finch not to have him prosecuted as he was trying to raise the money. Finch alleged that oil hist December whim he became aware of tho loss of tho money he wrote Cohen to meet him in Florence. That ho went lhere at the appoint ed time but that ho did lind Cohen. That ho went on to Marion and found him lhere. Ile. alleged that Cohen never mentioned having lj&tany money until ho inquired about it and then ho said that he had lost some. Several witnesses were put lip from Clio to show that Collen had "blowed" his money but this failed. It, was shown that his expenses were made for thc company's bus iness and nothing was shown whore he had spent any money foolishly. Tr ,?...~ olln.?Oil ilu.l ol ntwOhni iluout .^2UU out tuat thc Compati,) owed him something over $lJS0 and he. asked them to credit that much on tho account and then simd him thc balance. Instead of this it is alleged that tho company refused to do this but after Cohen had worked for them for a matter of something over liv e mont le; they paid him not one cent, but had him arrested, It is further slated that. Cohen, seeing thal the company would not pay him for his time and tho'i was prosecuting him asked (hat they delay action and I hen he would mala- good the sllOrt II ge. This is the second time thal Co lien has la-en arrrcstod and tried for ibis trouble with the company. Not very long ag\) he w as arrested on a warrant taken out by the company charging him with em bozzlonient. The ease was tried before Magistrate Kastorimg. Thc magistrate held that if the com pany Was a corporation then they should base documentary proof of the fact and this not being forth? c iming ('oben w as released. Paul Kinch, the district manager did nol rest here. Ile hud another warrant taken out la-fore Magis trate Calhoun at Clio charging Cohen willi breach ol' trust, with fraudulent intent, Cirilon after the first trial had gol IO to North Carolina. lb- was nrrestod at Rockingham as he hit that town but having no warrant thc olliecrs 1 hen turned him loo .e. I Ic w as arrested a lillie later al Moores ville and brought back herc. The first, time Cohen was arrest, ed he did not. require requisition papers. 'flic last time he agreed to ionic and stand trial. It is said that Cohen only left here the first time after flu; first, trial be cause his friends advised him todo this. If is also claimed that, he is very poor and luis no money to light the matter ill court. Ile. has said all along thal he was not, afraid to have the entire matter air in the courts, sure as he is tuat he will be vindicated. (folien worked and boarded here in town for some time and those who woro with him state that ho acted as a perfect gentcman. This same statement was made during tho trial at Clio by those who came in contact with him while he was doing business in that town. It is saul that the sentiment of the people who heard the trial that thecrowd was with Cohen. Ono man said that all of them wanto-1 him to be free and another one who at-1 tended the trial declared that he didn't believe there could have been found twelve men in tho court room who would not have liberated tho young prisoner. But tills is not all. It is slated that Cohen af the timo ho was ar restod had several picture frames hero, and that after his arrest! it is alleged Kinch came here, got tho picture frames and sold and de livered thom. It is saidthat tho city will now have a caso against him. lie paid no license and it was stated yesterday that the city might have him prosecuted.
