Cohen Ca.se io Higher Court.
Thc ctiso* of N Ii Cohen charged
with breach of trust with fraudu
lent intent, came up before Magis
trate Calhoun last Friday at Clio.
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.
The company is represented by
Messrs Livingston and Townsend
and Cohen by ,1 \Y Let i rand.
