298 N.Y. 545

CoNway, DesmoND, Dte, Lewis, Lqughran, Pulo, Thacheb

Opinion of the Court

Judgments reversed and new trials ordered upon the ground that the undisputed evidence is that defendants tendered a check in payment for their lodging and other accommodations upon demand by the hotel; in the absence of competent evidence that the check was worthless, such tender overcomes the presumption created by section 925 of the Penal Law. No opinion.

Concur: Lqughran, Ch. J., Lewis, DesmoND, Thacheb, Dte and Pulo, JJ. Taking no part: CoNway, J.
