How later courts describe this case

  • when the defendant tried to recover a check that the bank would not honor, court found the check to be an extension of credit
  • third trial not barred after two mistrials, both due to a jury deadlock, and explaining that "[t]here indeed may be a breaking point, but we do not believe it was reached in the instant case"
