Proof that lodging, food, money, property, or other accommodations were obtained by false pretense or by false or fictitious show or pretense of any baggage or other property, that the person refused or neglected to pay for such food, lodging or other accommodations, or that he absconded without paying or offering to pay for such food, lodging or other accommodations, or that he surreptitiously removed or attempted to move his baggage, or that he made, drew, issued, and delivered to the owner or keeper of any hotel, motel, motor hotel, motor lodge, inn, boarding or eating house, any check, draft or order on any bank or other depository in payment of food, lodging, money, property, or other accommodations, and has no funds or has insufficient funds on deposit to his credit in such bank or depository with which such check, draft, or order may be paid in full, and all other checks, drafts, or orders upon such funds then outstanding, shall be deemed prima facie proof of the fraudulent intent mentioned in Section 75-73-9.
