State, 271 N.E.2d 446 (Ind. 1971), the banked appellate record
The only paper crime in this bank's record was tested as a series, and it is not one. The banked facts (lk-rem-crime): on 8 August 1969 Perry Moses tendered Indianapolis diamond merchant William P. Nicholas a forged $45,000 check and a letter impersonating the Central State Bank of Lakeville; cashier Robert Herbsten and teller Elizabeth Rowe testified the check was not the bank's and the letter not on its stationery; Moses was convicted of uttering a forged instrument, affirmed in Moses v. State, 271 N.E.2d 446 (Ind. 1971). The series test asks whether linked passings — the note-passer pattern, one hand working a route of banks or merchants — stand behind that single count. On the appellate record the build holds, they do not: the opinion carries one instrument, one tender, one victim-merchant, in Indianapolis; no second passing, no linked case, and no police linkage is stated in any carrier reached. The framing therefore prints exactly: Moses is a single forged-check uttering in which Lakeville's bank was impersonated — no Lakeville money moved, no premises entered — and not a note-passer series. A disposition beyond the affirmance (sentence served, later record) is not found in the carriers reached and prints as not found, per this section's discipline. Residue: the Tribune press file around the 1969–71 case, the settler that could surface a companion charge, was not read entire.
