US v. MARCELO DE GUZMAN +

DECISION

G.R. No. 4284

[ G.R. No. 4284, February 13, 1908 ]

UNITED STATES, PLAINTIFF AND APPELLEE, VS. MARCELO DE GUZMAN, DEFENDANT AND APPELLANT.

D E C I S I O N

WILLARD, J.:

"ESTAFA;" SUFFICIENCY OF EVIDENCE. From the Court of First Instance of Pangasinan. The accused was charged with estafa committed in the course of a business transaction with one Tarn Gamco. The contradictory evidence of the two witnesses for the prosecution held insufficient to show the nature of the transaction between the parties and consequently insufficient to establish the guilt of the accused. Judgment reversed; defendant acquitted.

Per Willard, J.

For appellant: W. H. Bishop.
For appellee: Attorney-General Araneta.
