A demurrer to the indictment
against Edward Krause charging
fraudulent use of the mails when
he received certain letters through
the mails from Vancouver, B. C..
was argued by Attorney Kazis Krauc
zunas and District Attorney Smis
er. The demurrer was overruled
by Judge Jennings who stated that
every letter received or sent by the
defendant which had any connec
tion with his scheme to defraud
K. Yamamoto out of his property,
constituted a separate offense. Dis
trict Attorney Smiser announced
that Krause would be tried next on
the charge of forgery. The three
indictments against him, forging
the Yamamoto mortgage, forging
the order for the payment of $200
from Yamamoto’s bank, and the
forging of the order for the trans
ference of the bank account to him
are all to be tried together as they
are crimes of a similar nature.
