Sec. 6.
Proof that lodging, food, money, property, or other accommodations
were obtained either by false pretense or false representations, or by
false or fictitious show or pretense of baggage, or by failing or refusing
to pay for such lodging, food, money, property or other accommodations on
demand, or by making a purported payment for such lodging, food, money,
property or other accommodations by check or other negotiable paper upon
which payment is stopped or refused, or by absconding or leaving the
premises without paying or offering to pay for such lodging, food, money,
property or other accommodations, or by surreptitiously removing or
attempting to remove his or her baggage or effects shall be deemed prima
facie proof of the fraudulent intent mentioned in Section five of this

written agreement for extension of credit made at the time or before the
lodging, food, money, property, or other accommodations have been
furnished.
