Audrey Cutting On Trial In San Francisco On Bad Check Charge
SAN FRANCISCO, (AP) Mrs. Audrey Cutting testified here Friday that when she cashed three $100 checks here she thought there was money to cover them in her account at an Anchorage bank.
The 41-year-old Anchorage woman is on trial on a bad check charge. She was arrested last month when a check she cashed at a San Francisco hotel was returned and the bank reported she had closed her account.
Mrs. Cutting, however, told a jury of seven men and five women that she had "very extensive holdings" in Alaskan gold, copper and coal. When she left Anchorage, she said, she deposited $1,800 in the bank, writing checks on the balance during a trip across the United States.
The prosecution closed its case after Police Lieutenant Leslie Doland testified that Mrs. Cutting told him after her arrest that she had only $50 in the bank but that lots of people owed her money.
Mrs. Cutting, who won a new trial in Alaska after being convicted on embezzlement, is free on $1,000 bail here. She is also on bail pending a second trial in Alaska.
