48 S.E.2d 115 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1948
The defendant assigns error here on the overruling of his motion for a new trial. He was convicted on an indictment containing three counts; first, for forging a check; second, for uttering, publishing and passing it; and third, for possessing it. The jury returned a verdict of guilty on each count.
There were two checks introduced in evidence, both of them given on the same date, on the same bank, for the same amount, purporting to have been signed by W. P. Morgan. One of them was written in pencil, made payable to "order cash" and the other check was made payable to J. T. Morgan, and was written in ink. The check which was written in pencil is the basis of an appeal on a judgment overruling the motion for a new trial, the record of which contains a similar indictment for similar offenses, and similar verdicts as in the instant case (Morgan v. State,
