Description
In February, 1956, employees of appellants Nashville, Tennessee, retail store cashed a check in the amount of $50.00 payable to Norman E. Morris for a person identifying himself by that name. This person gave an address in Nashville which was the same as that of appellee. The endorsement proved to be forged. Appellants cashier made demand on appellee that he make the check good. Appellee contended that he was not the person who cashed the check and offered to come to appellants store and present himself for identification in order that the mistake be corrected. He gave a description of himself, which differed materially from that of the party who cashed the check. He was told that his appearance at the store was unnecessary. Despite appellees protest that he was not the individual who cashed the check, appellants collector had a warrant issued for his arrest. He was arrested and indicted on a charge of forgery and passing a forged instrument. He was tried and acquitted, due to inability of appellants employees to identify him.
