Mrs. Cutting Held On
Bad Check Charge
In San Francisco, Audrey I.
Cutting, 41, of Anchorage, Alaska,
was booked Aug. 16 on suspicion
of passing three $100 bad checks,
according to the district attorney’s
office.
The complaint against Mrs. Cut
ting was made by Cecil Tanner,
credit manager of the Sir Francis
Drake Hotel where she was stay
ing. The checks were drawn on
the Anchorage branch of the
Bank of Alaska which returned
the checks with a notation the
woman’s account had been closed.
Mrs. Cutting has been free on
$6,000 bond pending appeal of her
conviction for embezzlement on
March 28.
The attractive Anchorage wo
man realtor was granted a new
trial May 17. She has been Out
side for medical treatment.
A Third District Court jury in
Anchorage had convicted her in
March of misappropriating $1,000
from a real estate client, from
funds he had allegedly given her
to purchase property for him.
The court case attracted crowds
of curious onlookers when Mrs.
Cutting appeared in court
stretched out on a blanket
covered bench. She had main
tained that she was too ill to be
present, but Judge Anthony J. Di
mond ordered her to appear after
two doctors pronounced here able
to do so.
The motion for the new trial
was approved on grounds that the
court had erred in allowing the
district attorney to comment to
the jurors on answers given by
the defendant.
