The November possession of notes from the same original as the forged notes used in August was admissible because it had direct probative value on the central issue of whether the applicant knew the August notes were forged; the trial judge adequately limited the jury's use of that evidence; conviction therefore stands; however the sentence for uttering forged documents (count 1) was excessive and reduced from 7 to 5 years, to run concurrently with the 5-year sentence on count 2.
