• court refused to find fraud in issuing checks for which there were insufficient funds in debtor’s account, rejecting the argument that issuing worthless checks for the purchase of goods was “implied fraud;” creditor must prove both an actual misrepresentation and actual intent to defraud
• “a mere promise to be carried out in the future is not sufficient to bar discharge of a debt, even though there is no excuse for the subsequent breach....The burden is on the plaintiff [creditor] to show a present intent not to fulfil the promise.”
