The indictment charged that "Joseph J. Adams, late, etc the 12th day of June, 1882, did then unlawfully, feloniously designedly, and with intent to defraud one Perry Brinnaman of his goods, chattels, money and property, obtain the signature of the said Perry Brinnaman to a certain written instrument, to wit, a promissory note, payable to the Citizens Bank of Huntington, for $ 550, which promissory note was in the words and figures, as follows: * *
"Huntington, Indiana, June 12th, 1882.
"Ninety days after date we jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of Citizens Bank, at Citizens Bank, Huntington, Indiana, $ 550, with interest at the rate of eight per cent. per annum after maturity and attorneys' fees; value received, without any relief whatever from valuation or appraisement laws.
"Joseph J. Adams.
"Perry X Brinnaman, his mark.
