We admit the fact, but we deny the imputation of guilt.

My client, Mr.Robinson, whose abilities as an actor have no doubt hitherto given your Honor much pleasure, was so careless as to forget the precise amount of his bank account and happened to draw a check for too large an amount.

No one was more surprised and horrified at the discovery than he.

And his intention is at once to reimburse in full the complainant, whose action in having him arrested seems most extraordinary and reprehensible." "Your Honor," interrupted the other lawyer, "were there the slightest possibility of any such outcome I should be glad to withdraw the charge; but, as a matter of fact, this person is a worthless, lazy fellow who has not a cent to his name, and who induced my client to cash his check by leading him to believe that he was a man of substance and position.

No doubt he has spent the money, and if not we might as well try to squeeze it out of a stone.
